Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enabling coexistence of Information Technology (IT) systems and Operational Technology (OT) systems, where advanced computing functionality realized by the IT systems can be applied to legacy applications and incumbent hardware technologies resident in the OT systems. A distributed control node (DCN) implemented between the IT and OT systems may comprise a microcontroller system partitioned into two processor clusters. Microservices associated with the IT systems are provisioned to a high performance processor cluster, and legacy applications running bare metal associated with the OT systems are provisioned to a real-time processor cluster. Partitioning of the microcontroller system allows for interoperability between the microservices and the legacy applications.

Abstract: A universal industrial I/O interface bridge is provided. The universal industrial I/O interface bridge may be placed between a host and I/O interface cards to translate and manage electronic communications from these and other sources. Embodiments of the application may include (1) an improved hardware module, (2) an I/O discovery process to dynamically reprogram the universal industrial I/O interface bridge depending on the attached I/O card, (3) an abstraction process to illustrate the universal industrial I/O interface bridge and the physical I/O interfaces, (4) an alert plane within the universal industrial I/O interface bridge to respond to I/O alert pins, and (5) a secure distribution process for a firmware update of the universal industrial I/O interface bridge.
