    Abstract: An industrial automation system comprises multiple process components, each categorizable into a cohort corresponding to a cohorting criterion. Some process components are configured to perform a machine learning (ML) process. A process component hosts at least a part of an ML model per cohort and communicates the ML model parameters among the multiple process components. The system assigns one or more of the process components to one of the cohorts according to the cohorting criterion; attributes the ML model parameters of a process component in a selected one of the cohorts to the ML model belonging to the selected cohort; determines a proximity value of each pair of cohorts; assigns a pair of cohorts to a respective neighboring cohort group when the proximity value meets a predetermined proximity criterion; and shares the ML model related data between process components belonging to the same neighboring cohort group.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for detecting anomalies in a robotic system in an industrial plant. The robotic system is associated with a computing system configured to detect an anomaly in the robotic system. The computer system monitors configuration parameters of the robotic system and process parameters associated with the robotic system. Further, the computing system detects an association between at least one configuration parameter and at least one process parameter for obtaining optimal configuration parameters and optimal process parameters. The optimal configuration parameters and optimal process parameters are analyzed for detecting an anomaly. At least one parameter among the configuration parameters and the process parameters is identified causing the anomaly. Thereafter, the detected anomaly is validated, valid setpoint is estimated and the estimated valid setpoint is updated in the analytics model. The updated analytics model is subsequently used to detect anomaly accurately.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system to generate control logic for performing industrial processes with a controller in a process plant. The method includes receiving a control narrative comprising one or more control requirements of the industrial process, and extracting a plurality of control entities and a plurality of set points, from the control narrative using one or more sets of predetermined regular expressions and one or more models. The method further includes identifying a set of inputs, outputs and control elements from the plurality of control entities using a domain dictionary, detecting a plurality of actions from the control narrative using an intent classifier, identifying a relationship between the set of inputs, outputs and control elements, the plurality of set points, and the plurality of actions, and generating based on the relationship identified the control logic for the controller to perform the process.

    Abstract: A user terminal for a process control system obtains a first curve of a detected physical quantity of a piece of process control equipment in the process control system, where the first curve includes points with values of the physical quantity at various time instances, provides at least one of the points in a section of the first curve as a manipulable point that a user can change, receives from the user a change of at least one of the manipulable points in the section, thereby changing the section of the first curve, and applies the changed section of the first curve as an input to an operation in the process control system.
