Patent number: 11822981Abstract: Systems, methods, and software disclosed herein relate to a common gateway platform system. In an implementation, program instructions direct a computing system to execute a common gateway platform environment comprising an adapter comprising an adapter name identification, a broker connected to the adapter, and an application connected to the adapter. The application also generates an action configured according to a common gateway platform protocol, transmit the action to the broker, and receive a reaction from the broker. The broker is configured to identify the adapter based on the adapter identifier and transmit the action to the adapter. The broker also receives the reaction from the adapter and transmit the reaction to the application. The adapter is configured to acquire the data from the industrial automation environment based on an adapter instruction in the action, generate the reaction comprising the acquired data, and transmit the reaction to the broker.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Douglas J. Reichard, Nicholas J. Marangoni, Stephen C. Briant, Sonal R. Dubey, Sharath Chander Reddy Baddam, Paul C. Whitten, Deepa S. Bekal
