    摘要: A model-based industrial security policy configuration system implements a plant-wide industrial asset security policy in accordance with security policy definitions provided by a user. The configuration system models the collection of industrial assets for which diverse security policies are to be implemented. An interface allows the user to define zone-specific security configuration and event management policies for a plant environment at a high-level based on a security model that groups the industrial assets into security zones. Based on the model and these policy definitions, the system generates asset-level security setting instructions configured to set appropriate device settings on one or more of the industrial assets to implement the security event management policies, and deploys these instructions to the appropriate assets in order to implement the defined policies.

    摘要: For secure and safe access control, a method authenticates a user of an equipment unit with a user credential. The method determines an equipment status for the equipment unit. The equipment status includes one of energized and un-energized and one of locked and unlocked. The method determines whether the user is authorized to access the equipment unit with an equipment authorization. The determination that the user is authorized is based on the equipment status. In response to the user being authenticated and authorized to access the equipment unit energized or the user being authorized to access the equipment unit un-energized and the equipment unit being un-energized, the method releases a unit lock for the equipment unit with a unit lock credential and the user credential.

    摘要: A lockout tagout auditing and guidance system provides a mobile device that can guide an individual to particular tags either to perform the operations required for lockout procedures or to perform an auditing activity. In both cases, images of the tags are obtained and imaged and tag locations compared to corresponding information in the database to assess the existence and clarity of the tags for auditing purposes.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to solutions for integrating machine learning models into industrial automation environments. More specifically, embodiments of the present technology include systems and methods for implementing machine learning models within industrial control code to improve performance, increase productivity, and add capability to existing control programs. In an embodiment, a system comprises an interface component configured to display a graphical representation of a machine learning asset in an industrial automation environment, wherein the graphical representation includes a visual indicator representative of an output from the machine learning asset. The interface component is further configured to adjust the visual indicator based on the output from the machine learning asset. In addition, a process control component is configured to control an industrial process in the industrial automation environment based at least in part on the output from the machine learning asset.

    摘要: A multidrop system configured to be installed within a motor control center (MCC) of an industrial automation system includes a trunkline. The trunkline includes multiple multidrop make and break devices connected through a trunkline cable. Each of the multidrop make and break device includes a first network component, and a second network component. The first network component is configured to form a first subnet over the trunkline. The second network component is configured to couple a MCC withdrawable unit and form a second subnet over a branchline that connects one or more nodes within the MCC withdrawable unit. The multidrop make and break device is configured to couple the MCC withdrawable unit to, and decouple the MCC withdrawable unit from, the second network component without disrupting the first subnet.
