    Abstract: An industrial automation device includes first processing circuitry configured to perform a first set of operations associated with controlling the industrial automation device or one or more industrial automation devices communicatively coupled to the industrial automation device. The industrial automation device includes input/output circuitry communicatively couplable to an electronic device having second processing circuitry that is configured to execute computer-readable instructions to execute a software container and receive, in the software container, data from the industrial automation device, the one or more industrial automation devices, or both. The second processing circuitry executes the computer-readable instructions to perform, using the software container, a second set of operations associated with controlling the industrial automation device or the one or more industrial automation devices. The second processing circuitry is also executes the computer-readable instructions to adjust an operation of the industrial automation device based on the second set of operations.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving one or more data files that have one or more user-selected input parameters associated with one or more electrical devices in an industrial system, one or more output parameters associated with the electrical devices, one or more input/output parameter tags, a frequency or a condition associated with data transmission for each electrical device, or a combination thereof. The electrical devices may communicate via a first communication network based on the International Electrotechnical Commission 61850 standard, and the controller may communicate via a different communication network. The method also includes automatically programming the controller to control one or more operations of each electrical device based on the data files and transmitting the data files to a gateway device communicatively coupled to the controller along a backplane of a chassis system. The gateway device is automatically configured based on the one or more data files.

    Abstract: Embodiments of this present disclosure may include systems that perform operations including receiving a first symbol instance from an industrial automation device. The first template object instance may characterize a dataset accessible to the industrial automation device. Symbol object instances may inherit a categorization with respect to categories associated with the industrial automation device including an identity, a state, a runtime status, a maintenance status, sustainability information, or any combination thereof. The operations may include identifying a type of the industrial automation device based on the first symbol instance and generating template data based on the type of the industrial automation device and the first symbol instance. The template data may include values associated with the dataset and the categories associated with the first symbol instance. The operations may also include sending a control signal to the industrial automation device based on the template data.

    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.

    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: 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.
