Abstract
A method of transferring process data from a secure network protected by a first firewall to an unsecure network protected by a second firewall using an existing interface is provided. The existing interface is configured to transfer the process data having a first format from the secure network to the unsecure network through the first and second firewalls. The process data further includes new data having a second format. The method includes: receiving the new data from a first application in the secure network; converting the new data from the second format to a binary format; writing the binary data to the existing interface as further process data having the first format; receiving the binary data from the existing interface; converting the binary data from the binary format to the new data having the second format; and making the new data available to a second application in the unsecure network.
