[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] In the description of the embodiments in this application, the term "some embodiments" means that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same implementation or instance. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0043] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the application environment of the industrial control computer cross-machine restoration method in this embodiment. (Refer to...) Figure 1 This industrial control computer (ICC) cross-machine restoration method is applied to an ICC cross-machine restoration system. The ICC cross-machine restoration system includes a terminal 110 and a server 120. The terminal 110 and server 120 are connected via a network. The terminal 110 can be a desktop terminal or a mobile terminal; the mobile terminal can be at least one of a mobile phone, tablet computer, or laptop computer. The server 120 can be a standalone server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a method for restoring an industrial control computer from a different machine is provided. This embodiment mainly applies this method to the above-mentioned... Figure 1 Let's take terminal 110 (or server 120) as an example. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The specific steps of this industrial control computer cross-machine restoration method are as follows:

[0045] Step 210: Obtain the information of the first hard disk on the standby industrial control computer. The information of the first hard disk comes from the faulty industrial control computer and the first hard disk is connected to the standby industrial control computer. The information of the first hard disk includes the first operating system that controls the operation of the target functional device.

[0046] Step 220: Obtain a general-purpose driver and enable the general-purpose driver to control the first operating system in the standby industrial control computer to run;

[0047] Step 230: Control the operation of the target functional device connected to the backup industrial control computer through the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer;

[0048] This embodiment provides a method for restoring an industrial control computer from another machine. It utilizes a universal driver to run the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer, solving the technical problem that when existing old industrial control computers experience operational failures, it is impossible to troubleshoot them in a short time, which seriously affects work efficiency. It greatly shortens the troubleshooting time, is simple, and does not have any conflicting effects on the computer operating system. It achieves reliability, convenience, and speed in the maintenance of old industrial control computers and can be widely applied in computer operating system maintenance.

[0049] In some embodiments, step 220, obtaining a general-purpose driver and enabling the general-purpose driver to control the operation of the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer, further includes:

[0050] Step 221: Obtain the general-purpose driver and the backup file of the first operating system in the first hard disk information; enable the general-purpose driver to control the operation of the first operating system in the first hard disk information through the backup file.

[0051] In other embodiments, step 220, obtaining a general-purpose driver and enabling the general-purpose driver to control the operation of the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer, further includes:

[0052] Step 222: Obtain boot disk information, which is connected to the backup industrial control computer. The boot disk information includes a second operating system. The first operating system is restored to the second hard disk information of the backup industrial control computer using the second operating system. The general-purpose driver controls the first operating system in the second hard disk information to run. The second hard disk is connected to the backup industrial control computer.

[0053] Thus, when the first hard disk information contains a backup file of the first operating system, the backup first operating system is run directly using a general-purpose driver; when the hard disk information does not contain a backup file of the first operating system, the files of the first operating system are restored to the second hard disk information of the backup industrial control computer using the second operating system in the boot disk information, and then the backup first operating system in the second hard disk information is run using a general-purpose driver.

[0054] Preferably, the second operating system is a Windows PE operating system, and the boot disk information is a USB flash drive, or it can be a CD, or it can be other devices, which will not be elaborated here.

[0055] In some embodiments, after obtaining the general-purpose driver and enabling the general-purpose driver to control the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer, step 220 further includes:

[0056] Step 223: Activate the functional hardware of the backup industrial control computer, which is derived from the faulty industrial control computer.

[0057] In the above embodiments, enabling the functional hardware of the backup industrial control computer to operate includes:

[0058] Step 2231: Obtain the interface program of the functional hardware of the faulty industrial control computer;

[0059] Step 2232: Install the driver program for the functional hardware into the backup industrial control computer through the interface program;

[0060] Step 2233: Control the operation of the functional hardware of the faulty industrial control computer through the driver program of the functional hardware.

[0061] Preferably, in this embodiment, the driver for the functional hardware is obtained by online download, which is a simple and direct method.

[0062] In some embodiments, after obtaining the general-purpose driver and enabling the general-purpose driver to control the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer, step 220 further includes:

[0063] Step 224: Obtain multiple voltages provided by the power module, which is connected to the backup industrial control computer, and select an appropriate voltage from the multiple voltages as the access voltage so that the access voltage supplies power to the target functional device.

[0064] In some embodiments, step 220, obtaining a general-purpose driver and enabling the general-purpose driver to control the operation of the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer, includes:

[0065] Step 225: Obtain control permissions for the first operating system, and control the first operating system according to the control permissions of the first operating system so that the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer can run.

[0066] In this embodiment, control permissions can be obtained by acquiring the system registration code or directly through communication to ensure the operation of the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer.

[0067] In a specific example, a method for restoring an industrial control computer (ICC) from a different machine is provided, applicable to an imported grinding machine ICC used to control grinding machine control equipment. In this embodiment, the imported grinding machine ICC has been in operation for many years, resulting in severe aging. Furthermore, due to the loss of technical personnel, the application software and installation instructions are completely unavailable, with very little information available online, making it impossible to reinstall the application software independently. The original manufacturer also cannot provide free technical support. The motherboard and main chip models, or similar models, have long been discontinued and are no longer available on the market; spare parts are difficult to procure in the short term and are expensive. While restoring the computer using other models of motherboards and other hardware via hard drive information ghost files or operating system ghost files results in a blue screen error during operation, rendering the computer unusable.

[0068] Therefore, the specific method for restoring an industrial control computer from a different machine provided in this embodiment includes:

[0069] Step 2100: Obtain the information of the first hard disk on the standby industrial control computer. The information of the first hard disk comes from the faulty imported grinding machine industrial control computer and the first hard disk is connected to the standby industrial control computer. The information of the first hard disk includes the first operating system that controls the operation of the imported grinding machine.

[0070] Step 2200: Obtain the Windows PE operating system from the USB flash drive and back up the first operating system of the faulty imported grinding machine industrial computer to the second hard drive information of the backup industrial computer;

[0071] Step 2300: Obtain the general-purpose driver and use the general-purpose driver with control permissions to run the first operating system backed up in the second hard disk information;

[0072] Step 2400: Turn off the power of the backup industrial control computer, obtain the functional hardware of the faulty imported grinding machine industrial control computer, install the functional hardware on the backup industrial control computer, and download the driver of the functional hardware online to make the functional hardware run. The functional hardware includes a counter card with 4 PCI slots IBSO, a PCI800 serial communication card, a Profibus communication card, and a graphics card.

[0073] Step 2500: Obtain the power module and install it on the backup industrial computer. The power module is connected to the MB-IO interface device on the backup industrial computer to supply power to the imported grinding machine.

[0074] Step 2600: Connect the backup industrial control computer to the imported grinding machine and control the operation of the imported grinding machine through the first operating system in the backup industrial control computer.

[0075] Therefore, this embodiment implements a method for restoring an imported grinding machine industrial computer from another machine by sequentially backing up the original operating system, running the driver on a different machine, installing functional hardware, and injecting functional hardware drivers. It only takes 2-3 hours to restore the control function of the imported grinding machine industrial computer, which greatly shortens the troubleshooting time. The method is simple and will not cause conflict with the computer operating system. It realizes the reliability, convenience and speed of maintaining old industrial computers and can be widely used in computer operating system maintenance.
