Abstract: A method and system for interacting with data frames passing through a module connected to an industrial network is disclosed. Each module includes an aggregation unit located on the network interface above the physical layer. To transmit data, the aggregation unit reads a header from a dynamic data packet to determine if the module is a participant module for the packet. If so, the aggregation unit inserts data from the module into the data packet and transmits the packet to another module. To receive data, the aggregation unit reads a header from the data packet to determine whether the data packet includes data for the module. If so, the aggregation unit reads the data and passes the data packet to another module. If the aggregation unit determines that a data packet is not intended for the module, the data packet is passed to another module with no further interaction.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种与通过连接到工业网络的模块的数据帧交互的方法和系统。 每个模块包括位于物理层上方的网络接口上的聚合单元。 为了传输数据，聚合单元从动态数据分组读取报头，以确定模块是否是分组的参与者模块。 如果是，则聚合单元将数据从模块插入到数据包中，并将数据包发送到另一个模块。 为了接收数据，聚合单元从数据分组读取报头以确定数据分组是否包括模块的数据。 如果是，聚合单元读取数据并将数据包传递给另一个模块。 如果聚合单元确定数据分组不是针对模块，则数据分组被传递到另一个模块，而没有进一步的交互。

Abstract: Secure data transmission between an input device and both industrial controllers in a high-availability system utilizes a secure connection established between the primary industrial controller and the input device. Data required to establish the secure connection is stored on the primary controller as part of the connection data corresponding to the secure connection. The input device transmits data to the primary controller over the secure connection according to the desired level of security. The primary controller transmits the connection data defining the secure connection to the secondary controller. If a failure occurs in the primary controller, the secondary controller establishes a connection to the input device using the connection data for the secure connection, such that the secondary controller may assume responsibility for the controller end of the secure connection. The primary controller transmits the input signals to the secondary controller via the dedicated connection between controllers.

Abstract: A system of communicating data over a high availability industrial control system is disclosed. The industrial control system includes a first data producer, a second data producer in communicative connection with the first data producer, a first data consumer, and a second data consumer in communicative connection with the first data consumer. The system further includes the first producer communicating the data over multiple connection paths from the first producer to the first consumer and the second consumer through intermediate modules, and the second producer communicating the data over multiple connection paths from the second producer to the first consumer and the second consumer through intermediate modules. Also disclosed is a method of communicating data over the high availability industrial control system.
