Abstract:
To provide status information on devices in a device network, the devices are configured to broadcast status information, both own and received, and store in addition to own status information also received status information of other devices.
Abstract:
Remote live remote support tool providing information exchange between an apparatus at a site and another apparatus in a remote support site to facilitate remote support.
Abstract:
A method comprises a network apparatus (105, 109) requesting (202, 203) and receiving (205, 206), from an industrial automation device (101) via a communications network, identification information on the industrial automation device (101) regarding at least one characteristic of the industrial automation device (101). Based on the receiving, an interaction specification is retrieved (207) regarding the industrial automation device (101) from a database, the interaction specification indicating at least one protocol for interaction between the network apparatus (105, 109) and the industrial automation device (101). The at least one protocol is utilized (208, 209, 211, 212) for interacting between the network apparatus (105, 109) and the industrial automation device (101) via the communications network, to read and write (210) information supported by at least one of the industrial automation device (101) and a memory device connected to it.
Abstract:
To provide as data rate independent user experience as possible for remote service, function descriptions are associated with identifiers, and a function plan transmitted between a service center and a user apparatus comprises the identifiers but the function plan outputted in the user apparatus comprises the function descriptions.
Abstract:
A method comprises receiving, in a local terminal device of a communication system, a set of instructions related to a frequency converter, the set of instructions having been transmitted from a remote terminal device via at least one network node. The local terminal device displays information on the received set of instructions. The local terminal device may detect a predetermined user input, and in response to the detecting, the local terminal device causes transmission of control data to the frequency converter via a communications link established between the local terminal device and the frequency converter, if the user input indicates that the user of the local terminal device approves the execution of the set of instructions in the frequency converter, the control data commanding the frequency converter to execute the set of instructions in the frequency converter.

Abstract:
To automate establishment of an ad hoc connection (13-7, 13-7', 13-7") between a user apparatus and a device, username-password pairs and identifying information-code pairs are maintained in a database server, and the user apparatus sends an inquiry (13-3) comprising identifying information of the device and a username and a password of a user of the user apparatus, and receives in a response (13-5) a code for establishing the ad hoc connection.
Abstract:
There is provided displaying a user interface during a power outage. A touchscreen comprises a lower layer comprising an electronic paper display and an upper layer comprising a transparent display. The touch screen may be arranged in a frequency converter and a drive system.
Abstract:
A computerized method is disclosed for estimating operational life expectancy of an industrial device. The method comprises obtaining, in a user mobile device, sensor data on the operational environment of the industrial device, wherein the sensor data is measured by the user mobile device in the proximity of the industrial device. The user mobile device receives from the industrial device via a local communications connection, load data on the usage of the industrial device, the load data being recorded in the industrial device. The load data and sensor data is transmitted from the user mobile device via a communications network to a remote computing device which compares a theoretical operational life expectancy of the industrial device or industrial device component with the load data and sensor data, and calculates an instantaneous operational life expectancy of the industrial device or industrial device component, based on the comparison.
Abstract:
An automated power conversion device obtains information on an operational status of the automated power conversion device. Based on the obtaining, the automated power conversion device causes wireless transmission of advertising messages by using a non-connected signalling mode, such that the advertising messages comprise the information on the operational status of the automated power conversion device and are receivable by at least one terminal device of a communications system when the terminal device is located within the listening range of the connectionless signalling mode. The terminal device receives from the automated power conversion device, at least one of said advertising messages when the terminal device is located within the listening range of the connectionless signalling mode. Based on the receiving the terminal device informs the user of the terminal device on the operational status of the automated power conversion device.
