    Abstract: A security system for controlling access to motion control systems. The security system limits access to application programming interface (API) functions. The limitations on API functions can be implemented as a denial of access to certain restricted functions and/or as a limitation on certain controlled parameters employed by certain restricted functions. The security system may allow or disallow access based on users or accounts. The security system may also be programmed to prevent access to certain functions arbitrarily as determined by a system administrator or on criteria such as the status of the system.

    Abstract translation: 用于控制对运动控制系统的访问的安全系统。 安全系统限制了对应用程序编程接口(API)功能的访问。 API功能的限制可以被实现为拒绝访问某些受限功能和/或作为某些受限功能使用的某些受控参数的限制。 安全系统可以允许或不允许基于用户或帐户的访问。 安全系统还可以被编程为防止由系统管理员所确定的或者诸如系统状态的标准任意访问某些功能。

    Abstract: A method includes: receiving a mathematical model of a control system, with state variables and control parameters; discretizing at least a part of a space to obtain a set of tuples; determining for each tuple at least one successor state; obtaining an initial winning set of tuples; determining an updated winning set of tuples, including comparing the at least one successor state with the initial winning set of tuples, where the comparison is distributed over available processing elements by choosing one processing element from the available processing elements for each tuple to perform the comparison and where the available processing elements are used simultaneously at least in part; repeating the determination of the updated winning set of tuples to obtain a new updated winning set of tuples if a convergence measure does not meet a criterion, and constructing a controller for the control system from the new updated winning set.

    Abstract: Provided is a method and system for creating assembly instructions and using them on a computer system to direct assemblers working in a light-manufacturing environment. The assembly instructions break the assembly process into smaller elemental steps with specific instructions to be performed and verified in sequence during assembly. Each assembly instruction may identify a specific pocket in a matrix tray holding the material to be used in the assembly. Before the assembler begins assembling the manufactured product, in some embodiments, a training history is retrieved with the assembler's experience, If the assembler has fulfilled a prerequisite training sequence or equivalent from the training history, in some embodiments, assembly instructions are provided through the user interface coordinated with multimedia assembly data that guide the assembler to combine materials with the component and complete the assembly.

    Abstract: A system for communicating with a motion control system, comprising a set of motion operations, a set of functions, a set of security levels, and client software. The functions are capable of causing the motion control system to perform at least one motion operation. The client software is capable of calling at least one of the functions. The ability of the client software to call at least one of the functions is restricted based on at least one of the security levels.

    Abstract: At creation, a state machine of an industrial control configuration can be hard-coded with a number of states in a hierarchical manner. Once implemented into the configuration, it can be desirable for the states, interpretations of the states, and the like to be modified in accordance with particular desires and processes. Therefore, a user can select a change to a hierarchical rule set of the state machine while the state machine is part of the configuration and the change can be implemented.

    Abstract: The invention provides, in some aspects, a process, environmental, manufacturing, industrial or other such control system (hereinafter, “control system”) with enhanced, real-time change tracking. The system includes one or more configurable elements (e.g., field devices), a change tracking system that records of changes to those configurable elements (e.g., for compliance reporting, etc.) and a change detection system that responds to detected changes in configuration of those element(s) by inferring an identity of a person and/or device responsible for a change, the time of the change, and/or the reason for the change. This is unlike prior art systems, in which that such information must be specified, e.g., in a data entry form filled-in by the field engineer, operator or other who is making the change.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for ensuring assemblers are properly trained before performing assembly instructions in a computer directed assembly system. To ensure the requisite training, in some embodiments, the training history of each assembler is checked before authorizing performance of an assembly instruction. In one embodiment, a prerequisite training sequence required to be completed before performing an assembly instruction is specified to ensure proper training of the assembler. In some embodiments, a training history associated with the assembler is requested from a training database that includes a set of training sequences previously performed by the assembler. Based on the training history and other factors, a determination is made whether the assembler has the prerequisite training sequence necessary to perform the assembly instruction. As necessary, the assembler is required to perform the prerequisite training sequence before being authorized to perform the assembly instruction.

    Abstract: A method is provided for switching at least one electrical consumer (1, 1′ 1″) in a building comprising an elevator system. The switched electrical consumer (1″) is, for example, a camera. The camera is activated if when using the elevator system the user does not actuate a building door within an ascertained route time, i.e. the user does not arrive at his/her destination. It is possible using an image recorded by the camera to establish whether the user is possibly in a dangerous situation.
