  • Hybrid centralized and distributed industrial controller
    Patent number: 5949673
    Abstract: A pass-through table is developed to work in conjunction with an I/O table of a centralized industrial controller to permit a centralized controller to work seamlessly with a highly distributed control system. The pass-through table indicates data used in common between the centralized controller and the distributed controller and monitors a link connecting the distributed controller for changes in variables on the pass-through table to write those changes to the I/O table of the centralized controller. Conversely, changes in the I/O table of the centralized controller are detected and transmitted out to the common link to the distributed controller.
