摘要:
A system 10 includes a safety controller 28 that, in operation, interrupts power to industrial automation devices 14, 16 or puts the system 10 into a safe state upon command of a human operator. The system 10 also includes an emergency stop switch circuit 32 actuatable by a human operator and a human machine interface 30 in data communication with the safety controller 28 and the emergency stop switch circuit 32. The human machine interface 30 includes integrated safety circuitry 46 that, in operation, detects a change of state of the emergency stop switch 32 circuit and provides a signal to the safety controller 28 to interrupt power to the industrial automation devices 14, 16 or put the system 10 into a safe state.

A teaching pendant is provided with a display on the central portion of the surface of a body (10). Deadman switches (DM10, DM20) are attached to the left- and right-hand front portions of the body 10, individually. Further, bulge portions are locally formed in those regions of the inside of the body (10) that face the deadman switches (DM10, DM20) across the body (10). An operator supports the teaching pendant with one of his hands on one of the bulge portions, and operates one of the deadman switches (DM10, DM20) with the fingers of the hand.
摘要:
An automation operating and management system consolidates and analyzes inputs from multiple machines within an automated enterprise to predict failures and provide instructions for counteractions to prevent failures during machine operation, and to identify opportunities for efficiency improvement, including actions for reduction in peak power consumption demand within a facility including multiple machines. A machine can include a machine controller and at least one base layer controller, where the base layer controller acts as a low level controller to directly control the motion of elements in communication with the base layer control, according to parameters set by the machine controller. The base layer controller collects timing data for the elements under its control, compares the timing data with the parameters and sets an alarm when the timing data is outside of tolerance limits defined by the parameters.

A system for controlling automation includes a machine which collects data generated by performance of an operation by the machine. A user device displays a machine control interface (MCI) corresponding to the machine. The MCI displays the collected data to a touch interface of the user device, and defines at least one touch activated user interface element (UIE) for manipulating the data. The user device can be enabled as an automation human machine interface (HMI) device for controlling an operation performed by the machine, such that a touch action applied to a UIE of the MCI controls the operation. A prerequisite condition to enabling the user device as an automation HMI device can include activation of an enabling switch selectively connected to the user device. The MCI can be stored in a memory of the enabling switch and retrieved from the enabling switch by the user device.

A system and method for controlling automation includes a machine performing at least one operation and including a sensor for generating data in response to a performance of the operation by the machine. Data generated by the sensor is stored for retrieval by a server in data memory storage. The server includes at least one display template for displaying the data, and the server generates a data display by populating the at least one display template with the data. The data template can be populated with data in real time, to display the data display immediate to the generation of the data. The display template includes a data feature which is differentiated for displaying the data feature in a mode determined by the data populating the data display. The data display can be displayed in real time by a user device in communication with the server.

It is also described an industrial installation (10) which comprises a control unit (12) and a portable computerized control device (13) connected through a wireless communication channel (14) to the control unit. The portable computerized device (14) showing different parts of the graphical user interface as a function of spatial coordinates of the device, detected by the spatial coordinates detector, in relation to parts (11) of the installation.
摘要:
Die elektronische Auswerteeinheit (8) für ein Sicherheitsschaltgerät (4) zum Freischalten einer vorbestimmten Maschinenoperation einer elektrisch gesteuerten Maschine (3) weist einen ersten Erfassungsbaustein (15) und einen zweiten Erfassungsbaustein (16) auf. Der erste Erfassungsbaustein (15) ist zum Erfassen einer ersten Betätigungsinformation (13), welche von einem von einem ersten Sensor (6) zum Detektieren eines Betätigungszustands des Sicherheitsschaltgeräts (4) bereitgestellten ersten Sensorsignals (9) abgeleitet wird, und zum Erfassen einer zweiten Betätigungsinformation (14), welche von einem von einem zweiten Sensor (7) zum Detektieren des Betätigungszustands des Sicherheitsschaltgeräts (4) bereitgestellten zweiten Sensorsignals (10) abgeleitet wird, eingerichtet. Der zweite Erfassungsbaustein (16) ist zum Erfassen der ersten Betätigungsinformation (13) und der zweiten Betätigungsinformation (14) eingerichtet. Dabei sind der erste Erfassungsbaustein (15) und der zweite Erfassungsbaustein (16) derart eingerichtet, dass der erste Erfassungsbaustein (15) und der zweite Erfassungsbaustein (16) eine jeweilige Freischaltinformation (17, 18) zum Ansteuern einer jeweiligen Ausgangsschaltstufe (19, 20) zumindest innerhalb eines definiert begrenzten zeitlichen Versatzes ausgeben, wenn der erste Erfassungsbaustein (15) und der zweite Erfassungsbaustein (16) eine bestimmte Änderung der ersten Betätigungsinformation (13) und die bestimmte Änderung der zweiten Betätigungsinformation (14) unmittelbar aufeinander folgend detektieren.
