Abstract: A system for communicating between a field device, a device controller for the field device, and an enterprise application distinct from the device controller includes a single communication device configured to communicate with each of the field device, the device controller, and the enterprise application. The single communication device is configured to facilitate bi-directional communication between the field device and the device controller, and bi-directional communication between the field device and the enterprise application. The single communication device is configured to replicate data received from the field device and queue the data for communication with both the device controller and the enterprise application.

The single communication device is configured to facilitate communication between the field device and the device controller, and the field device and the enterprise application. The single communication device is configured to replicate data received from the field device and, after replication of the data, separately filter the data for the device controller and the enterprise application.
