摘要:
An electronic operator interface based controller and device automatic downloads are provided. An electronic operator interface can determine if control logic or content used by an industrial controller has been updated, changed, or otherwise modified. If the content has been modified, then the electronic operator interface can automatically obtain the content and store a back-up copy in memory. Additionally or alternatively, the electronic operator interface can periodically update a backup copy of the content. Furthermore, the electronic operator interface can determine if the controller has lost its content, and restore the content from the most recent version saved in memory.

摘要:
A substrate processing apparatus and an information storage server are connected with each other through a network. A storage part of the substrate processing apparatus stores set information and a control program, for controlling operation of the substrate processing apparatus according to the set information and the control program. The substrate processing apparatus is provided with a schedule function, for transmitting a backup instructional command according to the schedule. In response to this instructional command, the substrate processing apparatus generates a duplicate of specified information stored in the aforementioned storage part and transfers the duplicate information to the information storage server through the network. The information storage server stores the received duplicate information in a hard disk as backup data. The information storage server can also store only differential data of the duplicate information. Thus, information for controlling the operation of the substrate processing apparatus can be efficiently backed up without burdening the user.

摘要:
A method includes obtaining current structural information describing a current structure of a process control system and retrieving from a checkpoint file stored structural information describing a previous structure of the process control system. If the current structural information matches the stored structural information, current configuration and operational information of a controller in the process control system is conformed to previous configuration and operational information stored in the checkpoint file.
摘要:
The invention relates to systems and/or methodologies for electronic operator interface based controller and device automatic downloads. More particularly, an electronic operator interface can determine if control logic or content used by an industrial controller has been updated, changed, or otherwise modified. If the content has been modified, then the electronic operator interface can automatically obtain the content and store a back-up copy in memory. Additionally or alternatively, the electronic operator interface can periodically update a backup copy of the content. Furthermore, the electronic operator interface can determine if the controller has lost its content, and restore the content from the most recent version saved in memory.

摘要:
A manufacturing facility includes a plurality of programmable logic controllers that contain operating programs and process parameters. The programmable logic controllers are connected to a network such that the operating programs and process parameters from the programmable logic controllers can be backed-up to a remote data storage device. Preferably, the backing-up of the programmable logic controllers takes place automatically and periodically in a manner that does not interrupt the manufacturing process.

A distributed process control system drop for controlling the operation of an industrial process includes a first workstation or personal computer running industrial continuous process control software on an open architecture operating system and operable to analyze input information provided from the industrial process according to a predetermined set of rules and generate output information provided to the industrial process to control the operation thereof. A second workstation or personal computer connected with the first workstation via a non vendor-specific, international standards-based data highway normally runs in a backup mode and also runs the industrial process control software on an open architecture operating system to perform the same analysis as the first workstation and generate backup output information. A monitoring function associated with the second workstation detects a failure in the first workstation and transfers control of the industrial process to the second workstation upon first workstation failure. Both the first and second workstations include non-proprietary software suites and each suite includes individual software packages operable to permit personnel associated with the industrial process to interface with the industrial process in a selected manner through the first and second workstations.

The IO-Link master (1) includes a determination element (103), for determining whether the setting information (20) acquired from the IO-Link device (2) is consistent with the backup data stored in the storage element (11); and a notification element (104), for executing a specified processing for eliminating inconsistency when the determination result is the inconsistency.
