Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of smart buildings, and in particular to a method, device, system, storage medium and electronic device for upgrading a cloud digital base. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of information technology, digitalization and intelligence are the general trend of future industry. Traditional industrial control systems rely on field controllers to directly connect to devices to achieve information collection and logic control. There are many types of controllers and they are deployed in a scattered manner, making it difficult to achieve unified management and logic updates. Therefore, some smart building fields in the industry have proposed the concept of cloud control of controller devices, that is, to virtualize and digitize the originally deployed scattered controllers. Specifically, the control logic of the controller is compiled into a digital program, and then the program package is deployed on a digital base based on a cloud platform. The controller is managed uniformly through the cloud, realizing cloud control of the controller. The deployment method of control logic has been upgraded from traditional field controller deployment to deploying control logic in the cloud, thereby realizing cloud control of equipment.

[0003] With the demand for automation and intelligence, more and more factories are requiring industrial equipment to work 24 hours a day without stopping. If the controller program deployed to the cloud needs to be upgraded, the traditional workflow for updating the controller logic is as follows: 1. Stop the controller program 2. Upload the control logic program to the controller 3. Start the new logic program of the controller 4. Debug the new program. This process is not only time-consuming, but also has complicated steps for program replacement. It takes an average of 20 to 30 minutes to redeploy a single program change. During this period, the program cannot provide services to users. Users need to wait until the program update is completed before they can use system services, which greatly affects the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0026] In order to solve the technical problem of low upgrade efficiency of cloud-based digital bases in the prior art, the present application provides an upgrade method for a cloud-based digital base, which can achieve the effect of improving the upgrade efficiency of the digital base.

[0027] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for upgrading a cloud digital base provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0028] S102, receiving an update package and a distribution rule of the update package in the cloud;

[0029] S104, configuring the update program package to a program container of a target controller in the cloud according to the issuing rule, wherein the digital base in the cloud stores a plurality of controllers including the target controller;

[0030] S106, before the target controller is upgraded using the update program package, copying the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller to the program state container in the memory;

[0031] S108, controlling the target controller to use the update program package to perform an upgrade action;

[0032] S110, after the target controller is upgraded using the update program package, the running state variables and data structures stored in the program state container in the memory are configured into the upgraded target controller.

[0033] The digital base in this embodiment refers to an information-based general infrastructure. The digital base may be a combination of multiple controllers, but is not limited thereto. For example, a building or a complex of buildings may be controlled by a digital base, and each controller in the digital base is used to control various intelligent devices in the building or complex of buildings, thereby achieving complete monitoring / management of the building's intelligent devices through the digital base.

[0034] The digital base in this embodiment can be deployed in the cloud. That is, the smart device is controlled by the virtual controller in the cloud, and there is no need to deploy a chip controller for the smart device. The chip controller is not easy to adjust, the upgrade process is complicated, and the cost is high. The virtual controller in the cloud of this embodiment is flexible to deploy, and the upgrade does not affect the control process, and the cost is low.

[0035] In this embodiment, the digital base is deployed in the cloud, and the update package and the rules for issuing the update package are obtained from the user side through the cloud. The user side can configure the update package and the rules for issuing the update package through the client. For example, the client can modify the lighting time period of the lights in the building system, or the lighting brightness, lighting mode, etc., package the configured program into an update package, and configure the issuing rules, such as the control rules issued to the lights, to update the controller of the lights in the digital base, so that the controller of the lights can use the new control logic to control the lights in the building after the configuration is updated.

[0036] In this embodiment, a program container can be configured for each controller in the cloud, and the program container is used to run the program of the controller. A program container can be configured for a controller, or a program container can be configured for each program of a controller, so that the various programs of a controller can be run separately. When the update program package is configured in the program container, the program container can be directly run to run the content of the new update program package, thereby directly starting a new control method to control the target controller.

[0037] In this embodiment, the digital base can be a system set up for a building. The building can be a building, a group of buildings, or even a wider range, such as a group of buildings in a city, or a smaller range, such as a floor, a room, etc. The system includes all the smart devices that are allowed to be controlled within the range to be controlled. If the digital base is a system set up for a building, all the smart devices that are allowed to be controlled in the building can be controlled by the digital base. The digital base includes the controllers of the smart devices that are allowed to be controlled in the building (because the digital base is deployed in the cloud, the controller is a virtual controller in the cloud. The virtual controller in the cloud implements the control function of the controller by running the program in the program container).

[0038] In this embodiment, each smart device may correspond to one controller, or one controller may correspond to multiple smart devices. For the same smart devices in a building, for example, all lights with the same model, the same controller may be used for batch control.

[0039] In this embodiment, before configuring the update program package into the program container of the target controller and upgrading the target controller, the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller can be copied to the program state container in the memory. The program state container is used to save the running state variables and data structure states of each program of the target controller. For example, the current data is saved in the program state container. After the upgrade of the target controller is completed, the values ​​of various parameters are initialized, and the initialized parameters can be restored using the values ​​recorded in the program state container.

[0040] The method provided by the embodiment of the present application receives an update package and a distribution rule of the update package in the cloud; configures the update package to the program container of the target controller in the cloud according to the distribution rule, wherein the digital base in the cloud stores multiple controllers including the target controller; before the target controller is upgraded using the update package, the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller are copied to the program state container in the memory; the target controller is controlled to perform the upgrade action using the update package; after the target controller is upgraded using the update package, the running state variables and data structures stored in the program state container in the memory are configured to the upgraded target controller, so that when upgrading the target controller in the digital base in the cloud, the update package can be configured to the program container of the target controller, and the running state variables and data structures can be stored through the program state container, so that the target controller can be upgraded without interrupting the target controller. The upgrade efficiency of the digital base is improved.

[0041] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, according to the delivery rules, an optional method for configuring the update package to the program container of the target controller in the cloud is:

[0042] S202, the cloud-based program transfer warehouse parses and updates the logical structure and dependency relationship in the program package;

[0043] S204, cutting the update program package into bytecode files and static resource files with a hierarchical relationship according to the logical structure and dependency relationship;

[0044] S206, comparing the bytecode file and the static resource file with the original file of the target controller to identify the files in the update package that have changed compared to the original files;

[0045] S208, configuring the changed files into the program container of the target controller in the cloud.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cloud is configured with a program transit warehouse, which can store the update packages uploaded by users. If the user uploads different update packages for different controllers, the update packages can be stored in the transit warehouse for sequential parsing. The program transit warehouse can parse each update package, parsing the logical structure and dependencies therein. The purpose of parsing the logical structure and dependencies is to obtain the relationship between the codes in the update package. Based on the relationship, a bytecode file and a static resource file with a hierarchical relationship can be obtained. The update package is thus parsed into an executable bytecode file. The resources required by the bytecode file when it is executed call the static resource file.

[0047] The purpose of parsing the update package in this embodiment is to parse the update package in other formats into an executable bytecode file. Since the update package is configured in the program container of the target controller, the bytecode file can be run in the program container to control the target controller.

[0048] In addition, the program transit warehouse can also record historical bytecode files, complete the comparison of bytecode files, and thus determine the bytecode files that have changed. For bytecode files that have not changed, they may not be configured into the program container of the target controller.

[0049] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, before the target controller is upgraded using the update package, one implementation method of copying the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller to the program state container in the memory is:

[0050] S302, creating a program state container for the target controller in the memory, wherein the program state container is created before the target controller is upgraded and deleted after the target controller is upgraded. When each controller is upgraded, a program state container corresponding to the controller is created in the memory;

[0051] S304, copying the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller to the program state container of the target controller in the memory.

[0052] In this embodiment, since the update program package is to be configured in the program container of the target controller in the cloud, and the program container of the target controller in the cloud stores the old version of the control program package, in order to ensure that the control program can continue to control instead of re-recording parameters after the new update program package is configured in the program container, the running state variables and data structures of each program of the old version of the control program package are copied to the program state container in the memory. For example, the control logic of the old version of the controller is to control the elevator, and the elevator will be moved back to the first floor after no one uses it for more than 1 minute. If the elevator waits for 30 seconds without anyone using it, the update program package is configured in the program container at this time, and the new control logic is that the elevator will be moved back to the first floor after no one uses it for more than 2 minutes, then the count will be restarted at this time, and the elevator will not be moved back until 2 minutes. In fact, the elevator has been waiting for 30 seconds without anyone using it. Therefore, if the above 30 seconds are stored in the program state container, when running the upgraded target controller, the duration can be continued from 30 seconds instead of recording the duration from the beginning.

[0053] It should be noted that the above examples are only for illustrating that the program state container can be used to record the program's running state variables and data structures, so that the programs before and after the controller upgrade can be perfectly connected. The above elevators and data are for explanation and do not constitute a limitation.

[0054] In this embodiment, each time an update program package of a controller is received, a program state container can be created in the memory for the controller to store the running state variables and data structures of the program of the controller. After the controller upgrade is completed, the corresponding program state container in the memory can be deleted.

[0055] In this embodiment, an implementation method of copying the running status variables and data structures of each program of the target controller to the program status container of the target controller in the memory is: each time a program of the target controller is traversed, the running status variables and data structures of the program are copied to the program status container of the target controller; the running status variables and data structures of each program are stored in the program status container in the structural order of the data stack; the running status variables and data structures of each program are marked and classified according to the status of the running status variables and data structures of each program.

[0056] In this embodiment, the structure for storing data in the program state container can use a data stack. A data stack is a linear table that allows insertion or deletion operations at one end, which is called the top of the stack and the other end is called the bottom of the stack. The data stack is used to record the running state variables and data structures, so that the order of the running state variables and data structures can be recorded.

[0057] In addition to storing the running state variables and data structures in the data stack structure of the program state container, the running state variables and data structures can also be classified. The purpose of classification is to facilitate the subsequent search by type. In addition, the running state variables and data structures can also be marked. The purpose of marking the running state variables and data structures is to mark the data with abnormal status so as to process them.

[0058] In this embodiment, one implementation method of controlling the target controller to use the update program package to perform the upgrade action is: the program container of the target controller reloads the updated bytecode file in the program container.

[0059] In this embodiment, the program container of the target controller stores the bytecode file of the controller, and the bytecode file can be executed to control the target controller. After parsing the update package to obtain a new bytecode file and configuring the new bytecode file into the program container, the bytecode file of the previous version can be deleted, or a special mark can be added, and the previous bytecode file with the special mark can not be run. The new bytecode file can be overloaded, and after overloading, it can be directly executed to control the target controller. For the overloaded bytecode file, it is necessary to use the running state variables and data structures of the program stored in the program state container to update, so as to complete the old and new alternation of the bytecode file of the previous version and the bytecode file of the new version.

[0060] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, according to the delivery rule, an implementation method of configuring the update program package to the program container of the target controller in the cloud is:

[0061] S402, parsing the delivery time and delivery object in the delivery rule through the cloud program transfer warehouse;

[0062] S404, determining the target controller according to the issued object;

[0063] S406: Configure the update program package to the target controller according to the delivery time.

[0064] In this embodiment, after obtaining the update package and the issuing rules, the program transit warehouse in the cloud can parse the issuing rules. Parsing the issuing rules can determine the issuing time and issuing object in the issuing rules. The issuing object is the controller or controllers to which the update package is issued. The issuing time can be the time point when the update package is issued. After determining the issuing time and issuing object, the update package can be issued to the issuing object, which is the target controller. After parsing the update package, a bytecode file is obtained, and the bytecode file is configured in the program container of the target controller.

[0065] In this embodiment, the sending rules also include selection rules. One implementation method for determining the target controller according to the sending object is: determining each type of controller included in the scenario to be controlled by the digital base, and the position and status of each controller in each type of controller; and determining the controller of the corresponding type indicated by the sending object, whose status and position meet the selection rules as the target controller.

[0066] In this embodiment, the selection rule can be used to determine the scope of the objects to be sent. For example, if the controllers in a building include lights and elevators, the environments of the lights are different, such as corridor lights, elevator lights, and basement lights. Therefore, when upgrading the controller, the scope of the controller to be upgraded can be selected according to the differences among corridor lights, elevator lights, and basement lights. For example, if you want to upgrade the controller of the corridor lights, you can select a range and upgrade the controller of the corridor lights.

[0067] In this embodiment, if the controller of some smart devices fails and there is no time to upgrade, the same type or version of controller can be used for horizontal control. For example, if the controller of the lights in the corridor fails, the controller of the lights in the basement can be used for horizontal control. Although the control logic of the two may be different, the controller of the lights in the corridor fails and cannot complete the control. Therefore, the controller of the lights in the basement can be used to temporarily control the lights in the corridor.

[0068] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of updating the digital base of this embodiment. When the control program in the digital base needs to be updated, it is only necessary to update the program of the cloud controller. This embodiment can be applied to the logical program update of the cloud controller based on the digital base. For example, in an actual scenario, a factory area needs to update the control logic program of the controller of the plant equipment in area A. According to the functional classification, the control logic of some controllers is the same, so the control program uploaded during the update is also the same. For the same control program package, the operation and maintenance personnel only need to upload it once, and the distribution of the program package will be solved by the program transit warehouse. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of controller update in this embodiment. After the operation and maintenance personnel upload the latest program package to the program transfer warehouse, the system will cut the program package and identify the bytecode file, and dynamically update it to the control logic of the corresponding cloud controller according to the program distribution rules. During the update, the system will open a program state container for the cloud controller to store temporary program state data. The update will not affect the normal operation of the cloud controller. After the update is completed, the system will synchronize the state data in the program state container to the cloud controller, so that the cloud controller memory data is synchronized to the latest state data. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of program package cutting in this embodiment. The program package is cut and the bytecode file is identified, and then sent to the controller.

[0069] The specific process of upgrading the controller may include:

[0070] 1. Upload and update the program package. The program transfer warehouse has the functions of storing programs, cutting program packages, dynamically identifying code updates, and issuing codes. When the operation and maintenance personnel update the cloud controller program, they first upload the latest program package to the program transfer warehouse, configure the program issuance rules, and the program transfer warehouse distributes it to the cloud controller program container. The issuance rules specify which cloud controllers the program package will be issued to. The subsequent program transfer warehouse distributes the code update identification results to each program container according to the issuance rules, achieving the effect of "one deployment, multi-terminal update".

[0071] 2. Program package cutting, dynamic identification of updated code files and static resource files. After the operation and maintenance personnel upload the program package, the program transit warehouse analyzes the logical structure and dependency relationship of the program package, and cuts the program package into bytecode files and static resource files with multiple hierarchical relationships, that is, the code structure relationship when the program is running. The program transit warehouse can identify the bytecode files that are added, updated, and deleted in the program package, and the file identification results will be summarized after the identification process is completed.

[0072] 3. Freeze the running status and data of the program container. After the update identification process of the program transit warehouse is completed, according to the issuance rules, the program transit warehouse sends the update identification results to each controller container, and the controller program container is set to the update state. The system will open up a memory space for the controller program container to generate a program state container for saving the temporary state data of the program. Specifically, the system will traverse each running state variable and data structure of the current program, and copy them one by one to a specially designed program state container. The program state preservation container uses a data stack with a specific structure to record the order of program state parameters so that there is a correct recovery order when the data is subsequently restored. At the same time, the program state preservation container marks and classifies the saved state to facilitate subsequent rapid retrieval and identification of different save points.

[0073] 4. Dynamically update the bytecode file. After temporarily saving the program status, the system will send a signal to the bytecode file listener. After receiving the signal, the bytecode file listener triggers the reload mechanism according to the bytecode binary stream of the file comparison result, allowing the program container to reload the bytecode file with the update operation.

[0074] 5. Restore the running status and data to the program container. After the bytecode file is reloaded, the program on the cloud system has been updated to the latest code. At this time, the state in the program is in the initialization data, and the state of the program needs to be restored to the state before being blocked. The cloud system will take out the program state data from the program state container. The data stack in the container stores the state data and order before the program is updated. The system restores the program state according to the order of the data stack.

[0075] This embodiment also provides an upgrade device for a cloud digital base, such as Figure 8 As shown, including:

[0076] A receiving module 802, configured to receive an update package and a distribution rule of the update package in the cloud;

[0077] A configuration module 804, configured to configure the update program package to a program container of a target controller in the cloud according to the issuing rule, wherein the digital base in the cloud stores a plurality of controllers including the target controller;

[0078] The processing module 806 is used to copy the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller to the program state container in the memory before the target controller is upgraded using the update program package;

[0079] A control module 808, used to control the target controller to perform an upgrade action using the update program package;

[0080] The updating module 810 is used to configure the running state variables and data structures stored in the program state container in the memory into the upgraded target controller after the target controller is upgraded using the update program package.

[0081] The digital base in this embodiment refers to an information-based general infrastructure. The digital base may be a combination of multiple controllers, but is not limited thereto. For example, a building or a complex of buildings may be controlled by a digital base, and each controller in the digital base is used to control various intelligent devices in the building or complex of buildings, thereby achieving complete monitoring / management of the building's intelligent devices through the digital base.

[0082] The digital base in this embodiment can be deployed in the cloud. That is, the smart device is controlled by the virtual controller in the cloud, and there is no need to deploy a chip controller for the smart device. The chip controller is not easy to adjust, the upgrade process is complicated, and the cost is high. The virtual controller in the cloud of this embodiment is flexible to deploy, and the upgrade does not affect the control process, and the cost is low.

[0083] In this embodiment, the digital base is deployed in the cloud, and the update package and the rules for issuing the update package are obtained from the user side through the cloud. The user side can configure the update package and the rules for issuing the update package through the client. For example, the client can modify the lighting time period of the lights in the building system, or the lighting brightness, lighting mode, etc., package the configured program into an update package, and configure the issuing rules, such as the control rules issued to the lights, to update the controller of the lights in the digital base, so that the controller of the lights can use the new control logic to control the lights in the building after the configuration is updated.

[0084] In this embodiment, a program container can be configured for each controller in the cloud, and the program container is used to run the program of the controller. A program container can be configured for a controller, or a program container can be configured for each program of a controller, so that the various programs of a controller can be run separately. When the update program package is configured in the program container, the program container can be directly run to run the content of the new update program package, thereby directly starting a new control method to control the target controller.

[0085] In this embodiment, the digital base can be a system set up for a building. The building can be a building, a group of buildings, or even a wider range, such as a group of buildings in a city, or a smaller range, such as a floor, a room, etc. The system includes all the smart devices that are allowed to be controlled within the range to be controlled. If the digital base is a system set up for a building, all the smart devices that are allowed to be controlled in the building can be controlled by the digital base. The digital base includes the controllers of the smart devices that are allowed to be controlled in the building (because the digital base is deployed in the cloud, the controller is a virtual controller in the cloud. The virtual controller in the cloud implements the control function of the controller by running the program in the program container).

[0086] In this embodiment, each smart device may correspond to one controller, or one controller may correspond to multiple smart devices. For the same smart devices in a building, for example, all lights with the same model, the same controller may be used for batch control.

[0087] In this embodiment, before configuring the update program package into the program container of the target controller and upgrading the target controller, the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller can be copied to the program state container in the memory. The program state container is used to save the running state variables and data structure states of each program of the target controller. For example, the current data is saved in the program state container. After the upgrade of the target controller is completed, the values ​​of various parameters are initialized, and the initialized parameters can be restored using the values ​​recorded in the program state container.

[0088] The method provided by the embodiment of the present application receives an update package and a distribution rule of the update package in the cloud; configures the update package to the program container of the target controller in the cloud according to the distribution rule, wherein the digital base in the cloud stores multiple controllers including the target controller; before the target controller is upgraded using the update package, the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller are copied to the program state container in the memory; the target controller is controlled to perform the upgrade action using the update package; after the target controller is upgraded using the update package, the running state variables and data structures stored in the program state container in the memory are configured to the upgraded target controller, so that when upgrading the target controller in the digital base in the cloud, the update package can be configured to the program container of the target controller, and the running state variables and data structures can be stored through the program state container, so that the target controller can be upgraded without interrupting the target controller. The upgrade efficiency of the digital base is improved.

[0089] This embodiment also provides an upgrade system for a cloud digital base, such as Fig. 9 As shown, including:

[0090] The cloud is used to receive an update package and a distribution rule of the update package in the cloud; configure the update package to a program container of a target controller in the cloud according to the distribution rule, wherein the digital base in the cloud stores multiple controllers including the target controller; before the target controller is upgraded using the update package, copy the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller to the program state container in the memory; control the target controller to perform an upgrade action using the update package; after the target controller is upgraded using the update package, configure the running state variables and data structures stored in the program state container in the memory to the upgraded target controller;

[0091] Client, used to provide update packages and distribution rules;

[0092] Target controller, used to control the operation of smart devices.

[0093] The digital base in this embodiment refers to an information-based general infrastructure. The digital base may be a combination of multiple controllers, but is not limited thereto. For example, a building or a complex of buildings may be controlled by a digital base, and each controller in the digital base is used to control various intelligent devices in the building or complex of buildings, thereby achieving complete monitoring / management of the building's intelligent devices through the digital base.

[0094] The digital base in this embodiment can be deployed in the cloud. That is, the smart device is controlled by the virtual controller in the cloud, and there is no need to deploy a chip controller for the smart device. The chip controller is not easy to adjust, the upgrade process is complicated, and the cost is high. The virtual controller in the cloud of this embodiment is flexible to deploy, and the upgrade does not affect the control process, and the cost is low.

[0095] In this embodiment, the digital base is deployed in the cloud, and the update package and the rules for issuing the update package are obtained from the user side through the cloud. The user side can configure the update package and the rules for issuing the update package through the client. For example, the client can modify the lighting time period of the lights in the building system, or the lighting brightness, lighting mode, etc., package the configured program into an update package, and configure the issuing rules, such as the control rules issued to the lights, to update the controller of the lights in the digital base, so that the controller of the lights can use the new control logic to control the lights in the building after the configuration is updated.

[0096] In this embodiment, a program container can be configured for each controller in the cloud, and the program container is used to run the program of the controller. A program container can be configured for a controller, or a program container can be configured for each program of a controller, so that the various programs of a controller can be run separately. When the update program package is configured in the program container, the program container can be directly run to run the content of the new update program package, thereby directly starting a new control method to control the target controller.

[0097] In this embodiment, the digital base can be a system set up for a building. The building can be a building, a group of buildings, or even a wider range, such as a group of buildings in a city, or a smaller range, such as a floor, a room, etc. The system includes all the smart devices that are allowed to be controlled within the range to be controlled. If the digital base is a system set up for a building, all the smart devices that are allowed to be controlled in the building can be controlled by the digital base. The digital base includes the controllers of the smart devices that are allowed to be controlled in the building (because the digital base is deployed in the cloud, the controller is a virtual controller in the cloud. The virtual controller in the cloud implements the control function of the controller by running the program in the program container).

[0098] In this embodiment, each smart device may correspond to one controller, or one controller may correspond to multiple smart devices. For the same smart devices in a building, for example, all lights with the same model, the same controller may be used for batch control.

[0099] In this embodiment, before configuring the update program package into the program container of the target controller and upgrading the target controller, the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller can be copied to the program state container in the memory. The program state container is used to save the running state variables and data structure states of each program of the target controller. For example, the current data is saved in the program state container. After the upgrade of the target controller is completed, the values ​​of various parameters are initialized, and the initialized parameters can be restored using the values ​​recorded in the program state container.

[0100] The method provided by the embodiment of the present application receives an update package and a distribution rule of the update package in the cloud; configures the update package to the program container of the target controller in the cloud according to the distribution rule, wherein the digital base in the cloud stores multiple controllers including the target controller; before the target controller is upgraded using the update package, the running state variables and data structures of each program of the target controller are copied to the program state container in the memory; the target controller is controlled to perform the upgrade action using the update package; after the target controller is upgraded using the update package, the running state variables and data structures stored in the program state container in the memory are configured to the upgraded target controller, so that when upgrading the target controller in the digital base in the cloud, the update package can be configured to the program container of the target controller, and the running state variables and data structures can be stored through the program state container, so that the target controller can be upgraded without interrupting the target controller. The upgrade efficiency of the digital base is improved.
