Abstract: A system has a processor that may receive an order of an industrial device assembly having multiple industrial automation devices. The processor may also generate a first data file based on the order of the industrial device assembly. The first data file may have specification data associated with each industrial automation device and hierarchical information associated with each industrial automation device. Additionally, the processor may generate a second data file based on the first data file. The second data file has one or more control blocks of code associated with each industrial automation device. Further, the processor may transmit the second data file to a control system associated with the industrial device assembly. The control system is automatically programmed based on the second data file to control one or more operations of each industrial automation device in the industrial device assembly.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed herein for the integrated design and deployment of process control logic and power control logic in the context of industrial automation environments. In an implementation, a programmable logic controller executes power control logic to control a power control module on the network of the electrical subsystem of an industrial automation process. The power control module relays electrical device information to the programmable logic controller which issues power control commands according to the power control logic. The power and process control logic executed by the programmable logic controller are designed in an integrated design environment which includes representations of process control logic for controlling manufacturing devices of the industrial automation process and of power control logic for controlling electrical devices in the industrial automation process.

Abstract: Techniques to facilitate automatic discovery of industrial assets and associated data in an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a computing system iteratively scans a communication network to automatically detect at least one industrial device on the communication network. The computing system determines a unique identifier of a device type associated with the at least one industrial device detected on the communication network. The computing system determines an identity object for the industrial device and maps the identity object to the unique identifier of the device type associated with the industrial device. Based on the identity object for the industrial device, the computing system establishes communication with the industrial device on the communication network and receives operational data from the industrial device. The computing system processes the operational data received from the industrial device to generate a device profile for the industrial device.

Abstract: Techniques to facilitate synchronization of industrial assets in an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a computing system receives time-series industrial process data associated with a plurality of process subsystems of an industrial automation process. The time-series industrial process data is fed into a machine learning model associated with the industrial automation process to dynamically generate a process duration prediction for a first one of the process subsystems and responsively determine an updated set point for a second one of the process subsystems based on the process duration prediction for the first one of the process subsystems. The updated set point for the second one of the process subsystems is provided to an industrial controller associated with the second one of the process subsystems.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed herein for the integrated design and deployment of process control logic and power control logic in the context of industrial automation environments. In an implementation, a human-machine interface communicates with a programmable logic controller to effect control of both manufacturing and electrical devices of an industrial automation process in an integrated control environment displayed on a computing device. The human-machine interface displays objects representing the devices and receives user inputs controlling the operation of the devices including operations such as load-shedding and power transition operations. The human-machine interface also displays high-priority information about the devices. The integrated control is designed in an integrated design environment which includes representations of process control logic for controlling manufacturing devices and of power control logic for controlling electrical devices.
