Abstract

See full text

A software architecture for an automation network is disclosed that implements a high level, protocol-independent interface for a network system. The software architecture includes a system layer interface to maintain a protocol-independent interface with a transport layer and an application layer of the automation network. The system layer interface includes command libraries to route data within the network system, a node map to store data related to locations of network nodes, and a bridge table to store data related to network bridges. Using the software architecture, a programmer may not need to understand the network protocols run by nodes within the network system.
