The present disclosure relates to a method for establishing a network communication between network participant and a communication apparatus. The communication apparatus is configured to reset the operating system of the communication apparatus based on an image file located in the communication apparatus after turning on or restarting the communication apparatus, and start the operating system based on the image file, and execute a script. The script initiates or controls starting a first frame application, incorporating at least one communication application into the first frame application, and executing, using the communication application, a scan of a first communication network connected to the communication apparatus and ascertaining identification of all network participants deployed in the first communication network, as well as to a communication apparatus for performing the method of the present disclosure.
G06F 15/16 - Combinations of two or more digital computers each having at least an arithmetic unit, a program unit and a register, e.g. for a simultaneous processing of several programs
H04L 29/08 - Transmission control procedure, e.g. data link level control procedure
The present disclosure relates to a framework application for device access software. The framework application can be installed on a host. At least one driver can be integrated into the framework application, said driver being designed for access to an associated field bus component of a field bus network. For each integrated driver, the framework application has a standard interface, via which data can be exchanged between the driver and the framework application. For at least some of the integrated drivers, the framework application has one or more proprietary interfaces in addition to the standard interface, via which proprietary interfaces data can be exchanged between the respective drivers and the framework application. Information regarding additional functionalities that are supported by the driver or by an associated field bus component can be transferred from the driver to the framework application via at least one of the proprietary interfaces.
G06F 13/20 - Handling requests for interconnection or transfer for access to input/output bus
H04L 12/24 - Arrangements for maintenance or administration
H04L 29/08 - Transmission control procedure, e.g. data link level control procedure
G05B 19/05 - Programmable logic controllers, e.g. simulating logic interconnections of signals according to ladder diagrams or function charts
G05B 19/418 - Total factory control, i.e. centrally controlling a plurality of machines, e.g. direct or distributed numerical control (DNC), flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), integrated manufacturing systems (IMS), computer integrated manufacturing (CIM)
G05B 19/042 - Programme control other than numerical control, i.e. in sequence controllers or logic controllers using digital processors
G06F 40/40 - Processing or translation of natural language
