INTERFACE ADAPTER

Abstract: an interface adapter includes a first interface for coupling to a native interface of a first device, a second interface for coupling to a standardized interface of a second device, which is different from the native interface, an adapter memory, and one or more processors coupled to the first interface, the second interface, and the adapter memory. the one or more processors store, at a specific memory location of the adapter memory, a configuration table associated with the first device indicative of: capabilities of, and data variables supported by, the first device, locations of the data variables within a device memory of the first device, sizes of the data variables, and types of the data variables. the one or more processors provide the second device, via the second interface, access to one or more data variables of the data variables based on the configuration table.
