摘要:
Systems and methods that can enhance protection of alarms and events within an industrial control environment are provided. An alarm security component employs cryptographic mechanisms and techniques to encrypt alarms and/or events related to field devices of an industrial controller system. The specification also discloses two-way mutual authentication using cryptography, thereby ensuring that an alarm is a valid alarm and that the clients using the alarms are authorized alarm clients. Effectively, the innovation can regulate access to alarms and events by unauthorized external entities (e.g., monitors and/or users) by employing cryptographic mechanisms.

摘要:
A field device in an industrial environment comprises a clock that is synchronized with a clock of at least one other field device. A timestamp generator component creates a timestamp for at least one of an alarm and an event created within the field device, the timestamp accords to the synchronized time. An alarm generator component analyzes data produced and/or consumed by the field device and generates an alarm and/or event based at least in part upon the analysis.
摘要:
An industrial field device comprises an alarm generator component that creates an alarm relating to the industrial field device and a buffering component that selectively caches the alarm within a data repository. The field device can be an industrial controller or a network infrastructure device. The alarm created by the alarm generator component can be customized according to user information, including user preferences.

摘要:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or method that facilitates providing manageability within an industrial environment. A controller can execute with a real-time operating system such that the controller can include two or more controller engine instances executing as processes on the controller. A distribution component can divide a portion of the industrial environment into at least two or more units based at least in part upon scale data, the two or more units include respective dedicated execution space.
摘要:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or method that facilitates employing safety within an industrial environment. An enhancing component can implement at least one of a security level, authentication, authorization, or an access right to a validated action to at least one of the controller or the controller engine instance. The enhancing component can further separate two or more entities within the industrial environment, the first entity related to process control and the second entity related to process safety. Additionally, the enhancing component can employ at least one of a backup controller or a backup controller engine instance in the event of at least one of a software error or a hardware error within the industrial environment.
摘要:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or method that facilitates providing a service to an industrial environment. A selection component can identify a portion of data hosted by a remote server. A build component can construct at least one of a portion of a customized application or a portion of a customized service based at least in part upon the portion of data, wherein at least one of the portion of customized application or the portion of customized service is utilized within the industrial environment.
