Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations including receiving a first dataset from a first automation component, the first dataset corresponds to raw data acquired by a first sensor; receiving a second dataset from a second automation component, the second dataset corresponds to raw data acquired by a second sensor; receiving data indicating an expected operation related to operations of an industrial automation system including the first and second automation components; determining a signature based on the first and second datasets and the data indicating the expected operation, wherein the signature indicates an unexpected operation as compared to the expected operation; performing a root cause analysis using the signature to determine a relationship indicating a first set of changes of the first dataset corresponding to a second set of changes in the data indicating the expected operation.

Abstract: A modular analysis engine provided classification of variables and data in an industrial automation environment. The module may be instantiated upon receipt of an input data structure, such as containing annotated data for any desired variables related to the machine or process monitored and/or controlled. The data may be provided in a batch or the engine may operate on streaming data. The output of the module may be a data structure that can be used by other modules, such as for modeling, optimization, and control. The classification may allow for insightful analysis, such as for textual classification of alarms provided in the automation setting.

Abstract: An industrial automation system may include an automation device and a control system communicatively coupled to the automation device. The control system may include a first module of a number of modules, such that the first module may receive an indication of a target variable associated with the industrial automation device. The first module may then receive parameters associated with the target variable, identify a portion of data points associated with controlling the target variable with respect to the parameters, generate a model of each data point of the portion over time with respect to the parameters based on the data points, determine functions associated with the model. The functions represent one or more relationships between the each data point of the portion with respect to controlling the target variable. The first module may then adjust one or more operations of the automation device based on the functions.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a control/optimization system includes an instantiated model object stored in memory on a model server. The model object includes a model of a plant or process being controlled. The model object comprises an interface that precludes the transmission of proprietary information via the interface. The control/optimization system also includes a decision engine software module stored in memory on a decision support server. The decision engine software module is configured to request information from the model object through a communication network via a communication protocol that precludes the transmission of proprietary information, and to receive the requested information from the model object through the communication network via the communication protocol.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a model predictive control system for an industrial process includes a processor to execute an optimization module to determine manipulated variables for the process over a control horizon based on simulations performed using an objective function with an optimized process model and to control the process using the manipulated variables, to execute model modules including mathematical representations of a response or parameters of the process. The implementation details of the model modules are hidden from and inaccessible to the optimization module. The processor executes unified access modules (UAM). A first UAM interfaces between a first subset of the model modules and the optimization module and adapts output of the first subset for the optimization module, and a second UAM interfaces between a second subset of the model modules and the first subset and adapts output of the second subset for the first subset.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure describes an industrial system, which includes a control system that controls operation of an industrial process by instructing an automation component in the industrial system to implement a manipulated variable setpoint. The control system includes a process model that model operation of the industrial process, control optimization that determines the manipulated variable setpoint based at least in part on the process model, a control objective function, and constraints on the industrial process, in which the control objective function includes a tuning parameter that describes weighting between aspects of the industrial process affected by the manipulated variable setpoint; and tuning optimization circuitry that determines the tuning parameter based at least in part on a tuning objective function, in which the tuning objective function is determined based at least in part on a closed form solution to an augmented version of the control objective function, which includes the constraints as soft constraints.
