A system and method includes partitioning a network into first and second sub-networks connected by a network connection. A first component with first configuration data and a first local server are located in the first sub-network; a second component with second configuration data and a second local server are located in the second sub-network. The first configuration data is stored on the first and second local servers. The network connection is interrupted and the first configuration data is updated on the first local server. The network connection is re-connected, and if the first configuration data on the second local server is unchanged, the first configuration data on the second local server is overwritten.

An information-linkage supporting apparatus includes: a schema-information acquiring unit acquiring schema information concerning the configuration of numerical control data stored by a numerical-control-data storing apparatus as a database, from the numerical-control-data storing apparatus; a memory-map-information acquiring unit acquiring memory map information concerning memory allocation in the data memory of the numerical control data stored by a numerical control apparatus in an inside thereof, from the numerical control apparatus; a mapping-table generating unit generating, on the basis of association instruction information inputted from the outside for instructing association between constituent elements of the schema information and constituent elements of the memory map information, a mapping table, which is information for information linkage obtained by associating and mapping the constituent elements of the schema information and the constituent elements of the memory map information; and a mapping-table transmitting unit transmitting the mapping table to the numerical control apparatus.

A method is provided for managing availability of runtime asset data used by client applications hosted on workstations of an industrial system, the method including distributing runtime asset data about assets of the industrial system received at the plurality of workstations among runtime asset data caches associated with the client applications. At least a portion of locally stored runtime asset data stored on a local runtime asset data cache is replicated and stored remotely on the runtime asset data cache associated with another client application. The locally stored runtime asset data is periodically evaluated to determine if it is up-to-date, and in response to determining it is not up-to-date, the locally stored runtime asset data is updated by requesting and retrieving a replicated and updated version of the locally stored runtime asset data from the runtime asset data cache remotely storing the replicated version.

In the disclosure, HMI data is mirrored under high robustness. An IPC operates in an OS and a real time OS. The IPC includes a first data managing part that sequentially performs acquisition processing of the HMI data by an HMI application of the OS, a buffer memorizing the HMI data by the first data managing part, a second data managing part that exchanges data with the first data managing part by a mirroring processing part of the real time OS, and a mirroring data holding part memorizing data by the second data managing part. The data managing part memorizes the HMI data in the buffer for each acquisition of the HMI data and transmits the HMI data to the second data managing part as mirroring data, the data managing part memorizes the mirroring data in the mirroring data holding part for each reception of the minoring data.

The present disclosure provides a system and a method for cash flow verification by a third-party payment platform. The system includes a server and a client device. The client device includes a network device, a storage device and a processor. The storage device is configured to store a plurality of programmed instructions and establish a client database. The processor is configured to execute the programmed instructions to generate execution history data, wherein the execution history data comprises cash flow history data, which can be produced by a third-party platform. While the network device is incapable of connecting the server through the Internet, the processor stores the execution history data in the client database; while the network device is capable of connecting the server through the Internet, the processor transmits the execution history data to the server through the network device for verification, and the verification comprises cash flow verification.

A data interface device for updating control programs of a control device of a numerically controlled machine tool, comprising a first interface module configured for data transmission with a control program database, and a second interface module configured for data transmission with one or more control devices. The data interface device is configured to receive an update data record from the control program database via the first interface module and to transmit a configuration data record to a control device via the second interface module, said configuration data record causing said control device to update a control program stored in a memory unit of the control device on the basis of the transmitted configuration data record. The data interface device is configured for updating control programs of at least two different control.
