Module and controller operation for industrial control systems

Gavan W. Hood, +5 more
TLDR
In this article, a controller and a logical module for industrial automation systems are presented, where a controller is operable with the logical module to provide interactions with components that are at, above, or below a layer associated with the controller.
Abstract: 
A controller and module for an industrial automation system is provided. A logical module employs resources and logic to expose functionality of the module while providing generic interfaces to external components of the module. A controller is operable with the logical module to provide interactions with components that are at, above, or below a layer associated with the controller.
