Electronic operator interface based controller and device automatic downloads
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory storing computer-executable components; and
a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the computer-executable components, the computer-executable components comprising;
a monitoring component configured to determine whether there has been a modification of a version of control content maintained by an industrial controller to a modified version of the control content; and
a notification component configured to, in response to a determination that the modification of the version of the control content maintained by the industrial controller to the modified version of the control content has occurred, communicate a notification relating to the modification to an electronic operator interface to notify the electronic operator interface that the version of the control content has been modified to the modified version of the control content, and communicate the modified version of the control content to the electronic operator interface.

Abstract
The invention relates to systems and/or methodologies for electronic operator interface based controller and device automatic downloads. More particularly, an electronic operator interface can determine if control logic or content used by an industrial controller has been updated, changed, or otherwise modified. If the content has been modified, then the electronic operator interface can automatically obtain the content and store a back-up copy in memory. Additionally or alternatively, the electronic operator interface can periodically update a backup copy of the content. Furthermore, the electronic operator interface can determine if the controller has lost its content, and restore the content from the most recent version saved in memory.
