摘要:
A human machine interface (HMI) interface for an industrial automation system is provided. A module is provided that employs resources and logic to expose functionality of the module while providing generic interfaces to external components of the module. A human machine interface (HMI) component associated with the module adapts functionality of a display based at least in part on a type of user or application. In addition to the display, the HMI component adapts functionality of one or more interface inputs based in part on the type of user or application.

Systems and methods that displays available relationships between internal and external data streams. A coordination component can collect and analyze both the “internal” data stream(s) and the “external” data stream(s) simultaneously, and a visualization component can present a form of a visual cue, on a collection of history data and network data. Accordingly, instead of merely storing data values as function of time, other non-time series correlation states can be employed dynamically to represent data to the user.
摘要:
Systems and methods that correlate among disparate pieces of synchronized data, collected from an “internal” data stream (e.g., history data collected from an industrial unit) and an “external” data stream (e.g., traffic data on network services). A process trend component that determines/predicts an outcome of an industrial process and facilitates diagnostics/prognostics of an industrial system. Accordingly, relations among various parameters can be discovered (e.g., dynamically) and proper corrective adjustments supplied to the industrial process. Such enables a tight control and short reaction time to process parameters, and for a modification thereof.

Systems and methods that record information associated with proprietary processes in sufficient detail, to facilitate process optimization. A subscription and notification component enables tracking of various events, wherein each event can subscribe to a corresponding log (e.g., a diagnostic log, alarm log, and the like), and vice versa—to display desired items based on predetermined classifications. Moreover, access to both an internal data stream(s) and an external data stream(s) can be supplied via the subscription and notification component of the subject innovation.

An alarm generation system within an industrial automation environment comprises a packaging component that packages contextual data together with an alarm. A provision component relays the packaged contextual data and the alarm to an appropriate device. Thus, customized alarms can be provided for certain recipients given particular situations.

摘要:
A simulation environment for running a process simulation used to validate an industrial control program. The simulation environment exposes the I/O module configurations defined in the control program and retrieves module configuration information therefrom. This I/O module configuration information is combined with generic, module-specific I/O module profiles to create a pool of available controller I/O points, which can be selectively associated with I/O points in the simulation to create an I/O point mapping. During control program validation, simulated I/O data is exchanged between the process simulation and the I/O module instances in the controller in accordance with the I/O point mapping.
摘要:
Aspects describe creation of autonomous control for a composite curing process. Other aspects describe an intelligent industrial controller that can utilize a control model and a supervisory model to autonomously control the composite curing process. The control model can include intelligent agents corresponding to the physical elements of the composite curing process arranged in a hierarchical manner. For example, an autoclave agent can correspond to the autoclave, and the autoclave agent can be superior to a plurality of thermocouple agents corresponding to a plurality of thermocouples in a one-to-one fashion. The supervisory model can include diagnostic aspects for the composite curing process. For example, the supervisory model can be a finite element model of heat distribution on the surface of a composite material inside the autoclave. Based on a comparison between temperatures from the thermocouple agents and results of the supervisory mode, a malfunctioning thermocouple can be determined and eliminated.
摘要:
A system and method of interacting with a multi-agent distributed control system employing a plurality of controllers on which are programmed a plurality of agents in which the controllers are coupled by a network are disclosed. The method includes providing a computer program capable of operating a user interface, where the computer program is in communication with the agents via the network. The method further includes displaying agent-related information on the user interface by way of a plurality of windows, where within a first of the windows is further displayed a workflow among at least some of the agents, and within a second of the windows is further displayed at least one of a plurality of messages communicated among at least some of the agents, a work unit requested by at least one of the agents, and message content associated with at least one of the messages.
摘要:
A system and method for programming a plurality of agents onto a distributed control system are disclosed. The system includes a terminal that displays a graphical user interface having a plurality of images. The plurality of images includes a first image showing a plurality of selectable templates and at least a first mechanism by which first user input signals can be received concerning the templates, where the templates include agent-type programming, and a second image showing a representation of controllable devices and at least a second mechanism by which second user input signals can be received concerning associations between the templates and the representation. The system further includes a processing device that generates executable programming to be performed by the distributed control system based upon the templates and the associations, where the executable programming at least partly governs agent-type behavior of the distributed control system.
