Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables automation of component sourcing when designing a process system in an industrial environment. In a particular embodiment, a method includes receiving design specifications of a process system in an industrial environment via a system design application. The method further includes determining components to implement the process system from the design specifications and identifying a first subset of the components for sourcing from an external provider. The method also includes populating the first subset into a component sourcing application.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods and devices for facilitating object-based cross-domain industrial automation control. An object library comprising a plurality of objects may be maintained. One or more of the objects may represent physical counterparts for use in an industrial automation process. Each object of the plurality of objects in the object library may have at least one property that an automated control device operation can be programmed to act on. Each object of the plurality of objects may also have at least one property that a human machine interface component can utilize in generating display elements corresponding to the objects for display on the human machine interface. When modifications to objects in the object library are received, those modifications may be automatically deployed and incorporated in controller logic and HMI graphics and control.

Abstract: An illustrative method includes a batch analytic system receiving batch data of a batch generated in an industrial process, wherein the batch data includes K samples collected during the batch and each sample includes J values corresponding to J process variables of the industrial process, applying, for each process variable among the J process variables of the industrial process, a first function to K values of the process variable in the K samples of the batch to determine a first feature value of the process variable for the batch, aggregating first feature values corresponding to the J process variables that are determined for the batch using the first function to form a batch representation of the batch, and performing an operation using the batch representation of the batch.

Abstract: Motion is coordinated between a robot and a mover in an independent cart system. Positions for a mover along a track for the independent cart system and for each axis of motion of the robot mounted on the mover are received at the motion controller. The axis position corresponds to either an angular position of the motor or a mechanical position of a corresponding axis on which the motor is mounted. The motion controller receives a robot motion command corresponding to a desired operation of the robot and generates a mover motion command for the mover and an axis motion command for each axis of the robot. The mover motion command and the axis motion commands are generated as a function of the robot motion command, the position of the mover along the track, and the position of the motor or of the axis for each axis of the robot.

Abstract: A human-machine interface (HMI) development system supports a custom textual domain-specific language (DSL) for describing and developing HMI applications. The custom DSL comprises user domain elements corresponding to elements used within the context of a graphical HMI editor, and can be used to describe all aspects of an HMI application in terms of these user domains. Since the DSL is a textual syntax, this approach also allows HMI applications to be developed using any text editor. The DSL can be used to define, using text-based programming, such HMI properties as the graphical elements to be included in the HMI application, element layouts in reference to other graphical elements, element behaviors and actions, commands and custom executable code for specific interactions of the graphics.

Abstract: Systems and methods for software compatibility prediction and remediation for industrial systems. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive a software inventory for an industrial system and compatibility data associated with each piece of software included in the software inventory. The electronic processor is also configured to generate, via a compatibility engine, a compatibility mapping based on the software inventory and the compatibility data. The electronic processor is also configured to determine, based on the compatibility mapping, a set of compatibility statuses associated with the industrial system. The electronic processor is also configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) for display, the GUI including the software inventory, the set of compatibility statuses, and an interactive graphical representation of the compatibility mapping, and, in response to receiving a user interaction with the GUI, dynamically update the GUI based on the user interaction.

Abstract: A (GUI) for designing an industrial automation system includes a design window and a first accessory window. The GUI presents a library visualization representative of a plurality of objects within the first accessory window, each object is represented by an icon and corresponds to a respective industrial automation device. The GUI receives inputs indicative of a selection of one or more objects of the plurality of objects from the library, presents the one or more objects in the design window, determines that the one or more inputs do not comply with a set of industrial automation system rules comprising one or more relationships between a plurality of industrial automation devices, and displays a warning message that the one or more inputs do not comply with the set of industrial automation system rules.
