Abstract: An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) includes a training component that improves the IDE's automated design tools over time based on analysis of aggregated project data submitted by developers over time. The industrial IDE can apply analytics (e.g., artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.) to project data submitted by developers across multiple industrial enterprises to identify commonly used control code, visualizations, device configurations, or control system architectures that are frequently used for a given industrial function, machine, or application. This learned information can be encoded in a training module, which can be leveraged by the IDE to generate programming, visualization, or configuration recommendations. The IDE can automatically add suitable control code, visualizations, or configuration data to new control projects being developed based on an inference of the developer's design goals and knowledge of how these goals have been implemented by other developers.

Abstract: A system may include a power supply that generates a first voltage. The power supply may couple upstream from an electrical load. The electrical load may operate based at least in part on the first voltage. In some cases, a solid-state circuit breaker may be coupled between the power supply and the electrical load. Furthermore, a control system may be communicatively coupled to the power supply, the electrical load, and the solid-state circuit breaker. The control system may receive an operational status from the solid-state circuit breaker and may update a visualization rendered on a graphical user interface based at least in part on the operational status. The operational status may indicate an operation of the solid-state circuit breaker coupling the power supply to the electrical load.

Abstract: Protective cover devices for associated electrical connectors include a one-piece molded polymeric body including at least one of: (i) at least one stud that is closely slidably received into a corresponding socket of the connector; (ii) a skirt that comprises a recess that receives at least part of the electrical connector therein. The protective cover device is adapted to be engaged with the associated electrical connector to inhibit contact between a surrounding corrosive atmosphere and at least one electrical contact of the associated electrical connector.

Abstract: A data pipeline configuration system allows industrial data pipelines to be configured using an intuitive visual interface. The pipeline configuration system allows graphical pipeline components representing data sources, data processing, analytic or machine learning models, and emitters to be selectively added to an industrial data pipeline application by selecting these components from a library. The pipeline configuration application is created by arranging and linking these selected pipeline components within a pipeline builder section of the configuration system's visual design interface. The design interface also allows analytic or machine learning models to be easily integrated into the pipeline application and mapped to incoming data items, such that the model is applied and scored against incoming data during pipeline operation. The configuration system also allows the user to configure destinations or data sinks for the pipeline data, including both the incoming industrial data and model scoring results.

Abstract: A safety system for autonomously mobile machinery (e.g., automated guided vehicles) achieves safety-rated collision avoidance functionality by detecting objects located in the field of view of a three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) vision system or camera. Incorporating a 3D TOF camera into a collision avoidance system allows a large volume to be monitored for object intrusion, improving reliability of object detection. To ensure reliability of the safety system's obstacle detection capabilities, the collision avoidance system also includes self-diagnostic capabilities that verify the accuracy of the TOF camera's distance measurements even in the absence of a test object within the camera's field of view. This is achieved by tilting the TOF camera downward to include the floor within the camera's field of view, allowing the floor to act as a test object that can be leveraged to verify accuracy of the camera's distance measurements.

Abstract: For automatic device addressing, a processor configures each node device on a serial network for an order measurement. The processor further measures an order parameter for each of the node devices. The processor determines an order number of each of the node devices based on the order parameter for the node device.

Abstract: An industrial simulation system exchanges data between a virtualized industrial system and an industrial controller at high frequencies and accuracies without the need for additional network emulation hardware. Rather than timing the sending of emulated device data packets from the simulation to the industrial controller using an operating system clock, the simulation system uses the arrival event of a data packet received from the industrial controller as the clock signal that drives the sending of data packets from the virtual system to the controller. Using the arrival time of data packets from the industrial controller as the clock signal rather than the system clock of the operating system can yield high accuracy, low jitter data exchanges during simulation.

Abstract: An industrial gateway device supports interactive feature engineering tools that guide a user through an intuitive process for configuring data analytics for key performance indicators (KPIs) of interest. A feature engineering interface renders an interactive model view that displays available data points such that the data points are organized hierarchically according to plant, machine, machine property, or other elements. The user can select, from this model view, data points having an impact on the KPI of interest. The interface also allows the user to define an executable script that defines a mathematical relationship between the selected data points and the KPI. This configuration yields an output model that defines a reduced set of data points to be collected and analyzed, as well as an executable script for assessing a state of the KPI as a function of the reduced data point values.

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. Project data models defining collections of automation objects and their functional relationships can be stored in a model library for selective inclusion in system projects.

Abstract: A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium includes instructions. The instructions, when executed by processing circuitry, are configured to cause the processing circuitry to receive a plurality of sensory datasets associated with an industrial automation system from a plurality of sensors, categorize each sensory dataset of the plurality of sensory datasets into one or more sensory dataset categories of a plurality of sensory dataset categories, determine context information associated with the plurality of sensory datasets, the context information being representative of an environmental condition associated with an extended reality device, the industrial automation system, or both, determine a priority of each sensor dataset category of the plurality of sensory dataset categories based on the context information, determine output representative data to be presented by the extended reality device based on the plurality of sensory datasets and the priority, and instruct the extended reality device to present the output representative data.
