Abstract:
1. A device comprising: an interface configured to connect to a production control module of an end product without a computer connected between the interface and the production control module; a host control module that generates a first RCP model based on selected function blocks in a block library; a target language compiler that converts the first RCP model into source code; a cross-compiler that coverts the source code into object code for the end product, wherein the object code is executable by the production control module in the end product; and a download module that performs an on-target download of the object code directly from the device to the production control module without downloading the object code from the device to a computer, separate from the production control module, for integration of the object code with other code, wherein the production control module is separate from the device, wherein the download module stores the object code in a memory of the end product such that the object code is stored as a portion of an application code, wherein the object code is stored in the memory subsequent to the application code being stored in the memory, and wherein the application code includes production ready code executed via the production control module.
