Title: Controller architecture and systems and methods for implementing the same in a networked control system

Abstract

An architecture for a control system in a network, and devices and techniques for implementing the same. The architecture may comprise a logic controller isolated from the network by an interface controller and a bridge interface between the interface controller and the logic controller.
