Abstract: A control design and testing system simplifies the execution of parallelized control testing simulators using emulation techniques. The system is capable of emulating large and complex industrial systems using a combination of selective model partitioning, space parallel simulation, and co-simulation. According to this approach, a digital model of the industrial automation system is partitioned into sub-models such that inter-model logical relationships between the sub-models comprise only logical relationships that can tolerate a temporal error equal to or less than a duration, or timestep, of a co-simulation cycle. The sub-models are deployed to separate processing spaces, and the system uses co-simulation to execute a parallel emulation of the sub-models.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating add-on functions for employment with an industrial device. One system includes an electronic processor configured to detect an add-on function call from a user program executing within the industrial device. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a function name of an add-on function associated with the add-on function call. The electronic processor is also configured to provide a set of operations for executing the add-on function, based at least in part on the function name of the add-on function.

Abstract: An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) supports collaborative development of industrial projects, such as human-machine interface applications, industrial controller programs, device configurations, or other such projects. Rather than merging edits by comparing text representations of the edited projects on a line-by-line basis, the system expresses the edited and base versions of the system project as unified information models that represent the project versions as hierarchical organizations of nodes representing elements of the project, and compares corresponding nodes of the information models to obtain differential statuses for the nodes. The various versions of the nodes are then merged into a single consistent model based on the differential statuses of the nodes.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium includes computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a first electronic device to perform operations including sending a request for asset data associated with an asset and receiving a set of telemetry data, a set of operational data, a set of inventory data, and a set of customer data associated with the asset. In the embodiment, the method includes selecting an asset model from a set of asset models associated with the asset based on the set of telemetry data, the set of operational data, the set of inventory data, and the set of customer data, wherein each asset model of the set of asset models corresponds to a particular task performed by the asset and generating a mapping hierarchy based on the selected asset model, wherein the mapping hierarchy includes a representation of a plant layout associated with the asset.

Abstract: A non-transitory, computer-readable medium may include instructions executable by at least one processor in a computing device to cause the processor to perform operations that include transmitting, to a first power source, a command to provide power to a coil of a switching device with a fixed current profile. The operations also include receiving one or more voltage measurements associated with the coil during a period of time, determining whether the voltage measurements associated with the coil indicate that one or more movable contacts of the switching device are at least partially welded to one or more contacts of an electric circuit, and transmitting an additional command to a second power source to disconnect a current to the coil in response to determining that the voltage measurements indicate that the movable contacts of the switching device are at least partially welded to the contacts of the electric circuit.

Abstract: Industrial smart data tags conforming to structured data types serve as the basis for creating a digital twin of an industrial asset. The digital twin can comprise an automation model and a mechanical model or other type of non-automation model, both of which reference the smart tags in connection with digitally modeling the industrial asset. The structured data topology offered by the smart tags allows the digital twin to be readily interfaced with artificial intelligence (AI) systems. AI analysis can leverage the smart tags to discover new relationships between key performance indicators and other variables of the asset and encode these relationships in the smart tags themselves. These enhanced smart tags can also be leveraged to perform AI-based validation the digital twin. Additional contextualization provided by the enhanced smart tags can simplify AI analysis and assist in quickly converging on desired analytic results.

Abstract: Embodiments of this present disclosure may include a system with a first power converter and a control system. The first power converter may supply a first output power to a first backplane at least sometimes concurrent to a second power converter supplying a second output power to a second backplane. The control system may be electrically coupled to the first backplane and the second backplane. The control system may balance a first electrical property and a second electrical property provided to each of one or more load components electrically coupled to the first backplane and the second backplane.

Abstract: A multidrop system configured to be installed within a motor control center (MCC) of an industrial automation system includes a trunkline. The trunkline includes multiple multidrop make and break devices connected through a trunkline cable. Each of the multidrop make and break device includes a first network component, and a second network component. The first network component is configured to form a first subnet over the trunkline. The second network component is configured to couple a MCC withdrawable unit and form a second subnet over a branchline that connects one or more nodes within the MCC withdrawable unit. The multidrop make and break device is configured to couple the MCC withdrawable unit to, and decouple the MCC withdrawable unit from, the second network component without disrupting the first subnet.

Abstract: An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) provides a development framework for designing, programming, and configuring multiple aspects of an industrial automation system using a common design environment and data model. Projects creating using embodiments of the IDE system can be built on an object-based model rather than, or in addition to, a tag-based architecture. To this end, the IDE system can support the use of automation objects that serve as building blocks for this object-based development structure. These automation objects represent corresponding physical industrial assets and have associated programmatic attributes relating to those assets. Automation objects can be maintained in shared libraries that can be referenced by system projects. The IDE system can notify projects that reference these automation objects of updates to the object libraries, including edits to existing objects or addition of new objects.
