Embodiment Construction

[0045] figure 1 is a block and schematic diagram of an exemplary process control network 100 operating in a process control system, process plant, or other industrial setting 10. Process control network 100 may include a network backbone 105 that provides, directly or indirectly, connectivity between various other devices. Network backbone 105 may include wireless and / or wired communication channels or links. Devices coupled to network backbone 105 include, in various embodiments, a combination of access point 72, portable industrial computing device 112, which may be a handheld or other portable computing device (such as a laptop, tablet computer, , handheld smart devices, portable test devices (PTDs), etc.), each having a display screen 114 and various other input / output devices (not shown), stationary industrial computing devices 113 (such as personal computers, workstations, etc.), servers 150 etc.

[0046] Such as figure 1 As illustrated, controller 11 is connected vi...

Abstract

A platform-to-platform communication architecture for a process control messaging service in a process control system or other industrial setting allows stationary and portable industrial computing units to communicate with each other, in one-to-one and one-to-many communications, and across networks, including isolated networks inside the process control system or industrial setting and externalnetworks. A requesting industrial computing device platform generates a message for a destination, or responding, industrial computing device in the communication protocol of the destination platform,and wraps the message in a communication protocol of the process control messaging service. The communication architecture decodes the wrapped message into the communication protocol of the destination industrial computing device and forwards the decoded wrapped message to the destination. The communication architecture allows for a variety of communication services, including, but not limited to, instant / real-time peer-to-peer messaging, time synchronization, automatic data transfer with an asset management system, communication with field devices via an asset management system and large data transfers.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Application No. 15 / 217,112, filed July 22, 2016, entitled "Process Control Communication Architecture," the entire disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference . technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to process control systems, and more particularly, to process control communications between portable field maintenance tools and asset management systems. Background technique [0004] Distributed process control systems, such as those used in chemical, petroleum, or other processes, typically include one or more process controllers and input / output (I / O) devices that communicate via analog, digital, or combined analog / The digital bus is communicatively coupled to at least one host or operator workstation and to one or more field devices via a wireless communication link or network. [0005] Process controllers (sometimes referred to ...
