Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of industrial control system file synchronization are disclosed herein. One exemplary embodiment is an industrial control system comprising an industrial controller and a first and second computing device. The second computing device includes a second non-transitory memory device structured to store both a file set and synchronization instructions, and includes a processing device configured to execute the synchronization instructions so as to classify a subset of files from the second file set by identifying files transferred to the second computing device from the industrial controller, classify a sub-subset of files from the subset of file using a set of synchronization rules, classify a set of synchronization files from the sub-subset of files, and transfer the set of synchronization files from the second computing device to the first computing device.

Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of an industrial control system are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an industrial control system including a computing device with non-transitory memory device, a user interface, and a processing device. The processing device is structured to execute a set of instructions stored with the non-transitory memory device so as to determine at least one folder but not all folders of a plurality of first level folders are authorized using a first authorization parameter, determine a plurality of second level folders is a subset of the authorized first level folder, determine at least one folder but not all folders of the plurality of second level folders are authorized using the second authorization parameter, generate a directory of authorized folders including the authorized first level folder and the authorized second level folder; and output the directory of authorized folders to the user interface.
