Abstract: The subject invention provides reliable messaging with and within a control environment. The systems and methods utilize a message broker that facilitates message exchange. The message broker can be located within an industrial controller, as a dedicated entity within a control environment and/or an entity external to the control environment. Messages transmitted from an industrial controller and/or the external entity can be routed through the message broker prior to reaching a destination, wherein the message can be stored in the message broker and subsequently obtained by a recipient. The message broker decouples the message sender (e.g., an industrial controller, an external entity . . . ) from the message recipient (e.g., an industrial controller, an external entity . . . ) such that messages can be successfully transmitted (to the message broker) regardless of a state of the recipient, and messages can be retrieved (from the message broker) regardless of a state of the sender.

Abstract translation: 本发明在控制环境内提供可靠的消息传递。 系统和方法利用消息代理，便于消息交换。 消息代理可以位于工业控制器内，作为控制环境中的专用实体和/或控制环境外的实体。 从工业控制器和/或外部实体发送的消息可以在到达目的地之前通过消息代理进行路由，其中​​消息可以存储在消息代理中，随后由接收者获得。 消息代理将消息发送者（例如，工业控制器，外部实体...）从消息接收者（例如，工业控制器，外部实体...）分离，使得可以成功地发送消息（到消息 代理），而不管收件人的状态如何，并且消息可以从消息代理检索（无论发件人的状态如何）。

Abstract: Authenticating a backup image stored on a storage device prior to restoring the backup image. A value such as a hash value is generated based on the image to be preserved. The value is stored on the storage device in a first area accessible for writing only when the computing device is in an update mode. The first area becomes read-only when the computing device is in an operating system mode. The image is stored on the storage device in a second area accessible for writing when the computing device is in the update mode or the operating system mode. When attempting to restore the image from the second area, the value from the first area is compared to another value generated at the time of the restoration for validation.

Abstract: An industrial automation device comprises a reception component that receives a request for data resident within the industrial automation device. An encoding component communicatively coupled to the reception component that receives a binary bit stream associated with the request and encodes a payload of the bit stream as XML data, the encoding component further communicates the encoded payload by way of an industrial automation protocol. Furthermore, the industrial automation device can include a compression component that compresses the XML data.

Abstract: The subject disclosure pertains to transparent communications in an industrial automation environment amongst automation system components. PLC modules can be provided with unique network addresses such as IP addresses and accessed over a network using those addresses. The actual protocol and route employed to communicate with the PLC modules need not be known to a client system in order to access the PLC modules. Industrial control system configurations can be modified and expanded without affecting the client system ability to function in the environment.

Abstract: An automation device interactive user interface and method of using the interface is provided herein. The interface is network based in that it employs a browser enhanced by an interactive program embedded therein and an execution engine to execute the program. The interface can be proximate to an associated automated device(s) or remotely connected thereto using a local area network (LAN) and/or a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet. To facilitate ease of use, the embedded interactive program presents information in an appealing multimedia fashion such that interface appears live and changing. Furthermore, data associated with automation devices can be monitored, extracted, transmitted or otherwise manipulated in real time.

Abstract: Embodiments enable content sharing using event notifications that include a global identifier and a private identifier. The event notifications are sent to potential participants to an event. Potential participants that accept the event notification or otherwise request to join the event use the private identifier to submit content to a content sharing service. Based at least on the private identifiers associated with event participants, the content from event participants is selectively shared among the other event participants.
