Abstract
The present disclosure relates to control systems for controlling and dynamically configuring a production line. The production line includes one or multiple peripheral devices respectively located throughout the production line. A controller, or control unit, may, in one embodiment, extract binary instructions included in a file received from a source external to the controller, and the controller operates each of the devices on the production line based on the binary instructions embedded in the file.
