  • Method and apparatus for communicating transactions between an industrial controller and a programming interface
    Publication number: 20060294047
    Abstract: An industrial control system includes an industrial controller and a programming interface. The industrial controller maintains a control program for interfacing with a controlled process. The programming interface is operable to communicate a transaction to the industrial controller. The transaction includes a plurality of operations for modifying the control program followed by a commit transaction command. The industrial controller is operable to preprocess the plurality of operations, designate the plurality of operations with a pending status, and commit the operations and clear the pending status responsive to receiving the commit transaction command.

  • Automatically updated cross reference system having increased flexibility
    Patent number: 6064814
    Abstract: A method of maintaining cross reference information regarding a user program comprises the steps of determining that an aspect of a first referencee has been modified, notifying a first referencer that the aspect of the first referencee has been modified, and updating cross reference information. The notifying step is performed by the first referencee, and the updating step is performed by the first referencer. The cross reference information is stored in a database comprising an entry for each reference made by a referencer to a referencee. Each entry stores a unique identifiers which identify a respective referencer and referencee. The cross reference information is automatically updated through a notification procedure in which referencees are responsible for notifying referencers when an aspect of the referencee changes, and the referencers are thereafter responsible for updating the cross reference information.
