Abstract
An automation control module (ACM) includes an ACM central processing unit (CPU) and a file transfer system electrically connected to the ACM CPU. The file transfer system is embedded within the ACM, and is configured to receive at least one update for at least one module from a network and transfer the at least one update to the at least one module.
