    摘要: A system, device, and method are disclosed for wirelessly coupling a controlling device to a programmable industrial control equipment such as a programmable logic controller (PLC). The controlling device may, for example, be a personal computer used for programming the PLC. The system includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) unit located at one end of this wireless connection, and also includes at least one antenna at the other end, for communicating with the RFID unit. The RFID unit acts as an intermediary for communication between the programmable industrial control equipment and the controlling device. In case a product in a production line, or a newly added input/output module, provides information that controls a PLC, this control is enhanced by the RFID connection.

    摘要: A system, method and apparatus for the automatic configuration of a factory automation device is described. The automatic configuration involves the identification of the device's network address, then involves the search for a configuration server. The configuration server contains the configuration record to download to the automation device, and may contain configuration records for a number of devices. As a result, a search must be made within the configuration server for the configuration record of the specific device. Once found, the configuration is downloaded from the configuration server to the automation device.
