Generation and publication of shared tagsets
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a memory that stores computer-executable components;
a controller configured to publish process information associated with an industrial process to a plurality of terminals, the controller, operatively coupled to the memory, which executes computer-executable components, comprising;
a tagset generation component configured to;
receive, from each of a plurality of interfaces of the plurality of terminals, a request including a set of tags and an update rate for each of the tags in the set;
identify, amongst the requests received from the plurality of interfaces, a group of all the tags that share a particular update rate, wherein the group is identified for every update rate included in the requests; and
compile, for each of the identified groups, a tagset comprising the group of all the tags that share the particular update rate of the group; and
a tagset publication component configured to publish, for each of the tagsets compiled, an instance of the tagset at the particular update rate and to the plurality of interfaces that requested at least one tag at the particular update rate.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to facilitate receipt of tag requests from one or more interfaces, based upon which a single tagset is compiled at a controller comprising all the requested tags for a given update rate, whereupon the single compiled tagset is subsequently forwarded to the one or more interfaces. A controller generates a superset of tags associated with an industrial process. Each interface can request a copy of the superset, from which the required tags are selected. The controller receives the requested tags from all of the interfaces and combines the requested tags into a single tagset, for a given update rate, comprising the various parameters associated with the tags. At the selected update rate, the tagset is forwarded to the interfaces. A masterset can be utilized to identify the sequence of tags in a tagset and check code can ensure continuity of the tags in the tagset.
