Embedded database in an industrial controller environment

摘要

The present invention relates to systems and processes that provide network database interactions in an industrial controller environment. A database protocol component operating in a control environment is provided to convert control or factory protocols to a native language format associated with a network database. Such databases may be accessed in a structured format, wherein one or more control components may be adapted in a client and/or server configuration to freely exchange data in the structured format associated with the database. The database protocol component sends commands and/or data in the structured format when exchanging data with the database while converting the structured format to one or more protocols associated with an industrial control system when receiving commands and/or data therefrom.
