Abstract

See full text

Multiple processing units connected along a communication link to form an industrial controller may arrange for efficient block transfer of data by isochronous methods by forwarding to a data producer a connection message including the desired data structure having the variables necessary to be transmitted in a predefined order. Upon receipt of the data structure, the data producer may program itself to collect the data into the structure and forward the data on a periodic basis dictated by the connection message to the data consumer. Changes in the data structure may thus be accommodated efficiently in a manner that is invisible to the user.
