Abstract: A connector for receiving a ribbon cable, to be assembled via a clamping tool, is provided. The connector includes a housing, a cover, and a protection cap. The housing includes an open top and a bottom. The cover is configured to selectively cover the open top of the housing to enclose the ribbon cable within an interior of the housing. The protection cap is configured to cover the bottom of the housing. The protection cap includes a nonplanar surface with a bump, where the clamping tool contacts the cover and the bump to force the cover toward the housing when the connector is assembled.

Abstract: A cloud-based simulation generation service collects industrial data from multiple industrial customers for storage and analysis on a cloud platform. The service employs a simulation generator component that analyzes data to facilitate generating a simulation model that simulates an industrial automation system, including simulating or emulating industrial devices, industrial processes, other industrial assets, or network-related assets or devices, and their respective interrelationships with each other. The simulation generator component also analyzes modification data to facilitate generating a modified simulation model that simulates the industrial automation system based on the modification. The simulation generator component performs operation simulations using the simulation model or modified simulation model to facilitate determining whether making the modification is appropriate, determining or predicting performance of a modified industrial automation system, determining compatibility of a modification with an industrial automation system, or determining or predicting performance of the industrial automation system when processing a work order.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to industrial automation environments. More specifically, embodiments include systems and methods to optimize a target variable in an industrial automation environment. In some examples, a design application generates a control program configured and selects a program tag that represents a target variable in an industrial process. A processing application identifies a set of available program tags that represent independent variables in the industrial process and determines correlations between ones of the independent variables and the target variable. The processing application selects available program tags that represent independent variables correlated with the target variable and generates a recommendation that indicates the selected available program tags. The design application modifies the control program using the selected available program tags to optimize the target variable. The design application transfers the control program for implementation by the programmable logic controller.

Abstract: An industrial technical support system acts as an interactive assistant that leverages generative artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to suggest solutions to industrial alarm conditions or other performance problems based on earlier documented solutions, thereby expediting the process of finding alarm resolutions. The system enhances a user's prompt with relevant contextual data retrieved from stored documentation as well as relevant past chat histories to assist the system's generative AI model in recommending accurate resolutions to alarm conditions or performance issues described by the user's prompt.

Abstract: The disclosure describes an industrial automation environment including an industrial device in communication with a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip. The automation device identifies a fault condition and loads a fault code associated with the fault in the NFC chip. When the device is powered off, a mobile device retrieves the fault code from the NFC chip to facilitate device-troubleshooting. In some implementations, the mobile device loads configuration parameters into the NFC chip when the automation device is powered off. Upon startup, the automation device retrieves the configuration parameters and configures itself accordingly.

Abstract: An integrated development environment (IDE) for uses a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model to generate industrial control code in accordance with functional requirements provided to the industrial IDE system as natural language prompts. The system's generative AI model leverages both a code repository storing sample control code and a document repository that stores device or software manuals, program instruction manuals, functional specification documents, or other technical documents. These repositories are synchronized by digitizing selected portions of document text from the document repository into control code for storage in the code repository, as well as contextualizing control code from the code repository into text-based documentation for storage in the document repository.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, via a processing system, a selection of a first dataset associated with one or more operations of one or more industrial automation components of an industrial system that may perform a batch operation. The method may involve generating an optimized dataset based on the dataset, receiving a second dataset associated with one or more additional operations of one or more additional industrial automation components of an additional industrial system that may perform an additional batch operation, and determining one or more deviations between the optimized dataset and the second dataset. The method may also involve determining a contribution of each of a set of parameters to the one or more deviations and generating a visualization representative of the contribution of each of a set of parameters to the deviation.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, via a processing system, a request for information associated with an industrial automation system from a user, identifying a prompt associated with the request, and identifying one or more datasets associated with the request based on the prompt and the information. The method may also involve receiving the one or more datasets from one or more data sources, formatting the request and the one or more datasets into a package, and sending the package to a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system. The method may then involve receiving a response from the generative AI system, such that the response may be presented via a display of a human machine interface (HMI) system.

Abstract: A system may include sensor device comprising a sensor configured to measure sensor data indicating an operational parameter of industrial automation equipment associated with an industrial automation process. The system may also include communication circuitry configured to transmit the sensor data. Additionally, the system includes a processor configured to receive the sensor data. Further, the system includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, are configured to cause the processor to perform operations including identifying an operational state of the industrial automation equipment based on the sensor data. The operations may also include determining a discrepancy between the sensor data and the operational state. Further, the operations may include modifying an operation of the processor from a first operational mode to a second operational mode of a plurality of operational based on the comparison.

Abstract: An independent cart system, including a track having multiple track segments and multiple movers operative to travel along the track, has a support system with a thermal transfer member and a support member for each track segment. The thermal transfer member transfers heat generated by switching devices mounted on a first surface to a second surface remote from the first surface. The switching devices selectively deliver current to coils spaced along each of the track segments. The support member has a base operative to engage a fixed location and a support extending away from the base. The support includes an inner surface, an outer surface, opposite the inner surface, and an upper surface proximate the second surface of the thermal transfer member. The upper surface is configured to engage a complementary surface, and the continuous surface and the complementary surface each have a smooth finish to provide contact therebetween.
