Abstract: A method for deploying a service in a cluster of Input/Output devices comprising several I/O devices comprising a container engine. The method can be performed via a container client. A stack file is obtained that identifies at least one service and specifies at least one device constraint. Then, a command is sent based on the stack file, to deploy a service on a container stack of at least one first I/O device among the IO devices of the cluster if the at least one first I/O device matches the device constraint.

Abstract: A method configuring an automation system with plural controllers including first and second controllers, the method including: obtaining a first function block, having a first interface, suitable for a first application, and created by a first tool compliant with a first standard; creating a platform independent model for a second application with a second tool compliant with a second standard; creating a platform definition model of the first controller for the second application; creating a platform specific model for the second application, including: allocating and compiling, with the second tool, a primary part of the second application including the second function block for the first controller and a secondary part of the second application for the second controller; and downloading the first controller configuration, the first application, and the primary part of the second application to the first controller.

Abstract: A computer system for sharing data in a database, including the database, an Internet network, and a client computer device communicating with a software interface of the database through the network via Open Data Protocol. The software interface sends metadata describing a data model of the database to the client computer device, and the client device makes a software graphic interface by associating the metadata with a graphic interface component graphically displaying the stored data. The computer system further includes electrical equipment that communicates with the software interface through the network via the Open Data Protocol, and one item of following equipment: a programmable logic controller, and input/output module, a speed controller, a switch, a sensor, an actuator, a measurement apparatus.

Abstract: A communication system on an IP network between an automation equipment and one or more remote devices. The communication system is based on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for the. purpose of providing the remote device with automation equipment supervision, display, control, configuration or programming functions. The automation equipment comprises at least one WEB service and/or one WEB client able to interact with a program of the automation equipment, capable of decoding messages received from the IP network encoded according to the SOAP protocol and capable of encoding messages to be sent according to the SOAP protocol. A service description document, accessible to a remote device describes the capacities of one or more WEB services implanted in an automation equipment. This document may be stored or constructed dynamically by a generator.

Abstract: Communication system on an IP network between automation equipment capable of executing at least one program to provide automation functions and one or more remote items of equipment executing one or several computer applications. The communication system conforms with the WSDL (Web Services Description Language) language and provides monitoring, display, control, configuration or programming functions of the automation equipment to remote equipment. The communication system uses at least one service description document that conforms with the WSDL language accessible through a URL address and that describes capabilities of one or several WEB services capable of interacting with a program on the automation equipment.

Abstract: A communication system for automation equipment on a TCP/IP network. The automation equipment controls an automation application by executing an application program written according to standard IEC1131-3. The communication system includes at least a reception WEB function block integrated into the application program to implement a WEB server function, and/or at least one send WEB function block integrated into the application program to implement a WEB client function, and an HTTP interface capable of routing messages between the TCP/IP network and WEB function blocks identified by a URL address. The contents of HTTP requests may be an XML frame or a UEL encoded frame.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for accessing a programmable automatism unit (10) based on a WAP architecture, from at least a standalone communicating mobile device (40), such as a portable telephone, which integrates a navigator (41) complying with WAP architecture. This system includes a Web server (20), embedded in a piece of automatism equipment of the automatism unit (10), capable of generating static or dynamic informative data according to the WML language, and a network interface (30), connected to the Web server (20) through a network (25) of the Internet type, which authorizes access to said informative data from a WAP navigator (41) of a mobile device (40) communicating through a wireless network (35), in such a way that a user of such a WAP navigator (41) may access functions for monitoring, viewing and controlling the automatism unit (10).

Abstract: Communication system on an IP network (50) between automation equipment (10) capable of executing at least one program (20) to provide automation functions and one or more remote items of equipment (30, 40) executing one or several computer applications.
