  • Industrial controller using shared memory multicore architecture
    Patent number: 9092023
    Abstract: A multicore processor for industrial control provides for the execution of separate operating systems on the cores under control of one of the cores to tailor the operating system to optimum execution of different applications of industrial control and communication. One core may provide for a reduced instruction set for execution of industrial control programs with the remaining cores providing a general-purpose instruction set.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 28, 2015
    Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Ronald E. Schultz, Scot A. Tutkovics, Richard J. Grgic, James J. Kay, James W. Kenst, Daniel W. Clark
  • Control and communications architecture
    Patent number: 8458350
    Abstract: An industrial automation system is provided. The system includes a link layer that includes one or more ports that can communicate via one or more communication protocols. An application layer communicates with one or more network objects and a core layer bridges the application layer and the link layer.
