Abstract: This invention provides a method of cloud data services of industrial process automation systems. It can be used by clients such as a client application, a client system, or even end users (personnel). It is generic without a custom and lengthy configuration for any specific industrial process automation system of industrial processes. It automatically discovers the interested configuration information of an industrial process automation system, and provides configuration data, runtime data, alarm/event records, and historical data to clients. It allows clients to search for data items based on process orientated criteria. It tracks clients' search criteria, keeps client selected data items in data groups with multi-part namespace, which data groups can be shared among end users. It calculates the view-count of a data group and the popularity of a data item contained in data groups, which will help the sort of client query results.

Abstract: An implementation method for updating the terminals in batches is applicable to a terminal updating system including at least one terminal and a management server the method comprises: the first step, setting at least one version file server in the terminal updating system, for providing a description file and an updating file required by the updating to the respective terminal; the second step, connecting the respective terminal to the management server which configures a corresponding version file server parameter to the respective terminal; the third step, connecting the respective terminal to the corresponding version file server according to the configuration information and acquiring version updating information; and the fourth step, the respective terminal downloading an updating file and performing the updating according to the version updating information and informing the management server of the updating result.
