1. A system comprising:
- an electronic device configured to operate in an industrial control system comprising;
a processor;
a memory; and
a backwards compatible memory map stored in the memory, wherein the electronic device is configured to provide for a backwards compatibility mode of operations by applying the backwards compatible memory map and at least one memory map setpoint, wherein the backwards compatibility mode of operations provides for communications with an external device, and wherein the at least one memory map setpoint is included in an older version of the electronic device.

13. A tangible, non-transitory machine-readable media, comprising executable code configured to:
-
receive a first instruction from an external system; determine a setpoint for a backwards compatible memory map based on the first instruction; execute a second instruction based on the backwards compatible memory map and the setpoint; determine if a desired response time has elapsed; delay until the desired response time has elapsed; and respond to the external system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
