Abstract

A method of communicating with a microservice in an industrial facility. The method is implemented by a controller and includes obtaining one or more data structure types, wherein the data structure types are generated based on an API definition associated with the microservice, generating one or more variables based on the obtained data structure types, wherein the variables are associated with one or more function blocks of the controller, and transmitting data associated with the variables to the microservice via a proxy component. The controller transmits the data associated with the variables in a serialized binary format associated with the variables to the proxy component. The proxy component is configured to translate to translate the data from the serialized binary data to a first serialization format and transmit the data in the first serialization format to the microservice.
