Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or method that facilitates deploying data within an industrial environment. A controller can execute with a real-time operating system such that the controller can include two or more controller engine instances executing as processes on the controller. An update component that can dynamically deploy a portion of data to the industrial environment, the portion of data can be isolated within a controller engine instance for testing prior to exposing such portion of data outside the controller engine instance execution space.
