Abstract: The present technology relates to health metrics corresponding to industrial automation devices and a user experience for connecting to devices in an industrial automation environment to configure and view health metrics. Health metrics of a device can be obtained from a server, an industrial device, a controller coupled to the industrial device, or another source, and provided to a user interface device. The user interface device can display indications of the health metrics on a user interface. The user interface device can also establish a connection with a user device and provide the indications of the health metrics to the user device for display on a user interface of the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing a local update from a global catalog of device and system attributes. In certain embodiments, a system may comprise an edge server of an industrial automation environment, configured to update a local catalog from a cloud-based global catalog. The edge server may perform a device discovery operation to identify an industrial device connected to a local network on premises with the edge server, access the global catalog to obtain data about the industrial device, store the data about the industrial device to the local catalog, and respond to a query about the industrial device based on the data about the industrial device from the local catalog.

Abstract: The present technology relates to artificial intelligence assisted device configuration. In an implementation, an interface service of a device design application receives an input comprising an association between a device and a controller of an automation system design. The interface service then generates a first prompt requesting an application type associated with the device. The interface service next transmits the first prompt to a large language model and receives a first response to the first prompt from the large language model, wherein the first response includes the application type. The interface service then generates a second prompt requesting configuration settings for the device based on the system information and the application type. The interface service next transmits the second prompt to the large language model and receives a second response to the second prompt that includes configuration settings for the device. The interface service then displays the second response.

Abstract: The present technology relates to health metrics corresponding to industrial automation devices and a user experience for configuring calculation devices to produce the health metrics. Health metrics of a device can be produced by obtaining performance metrics of the device and contextualizing the performance metrics based on contextualization information. The health metrics can be categorized based on applying rule sets to the health metrics. Contextualization and application of rule sets can be selectively performed by one or more calculation devices, such as one or more servers, industrial devices, user devices, or the like based on configuration settings. The calculation devices can obtain the performance metrics, operations, and rule sets to produce the health metrics for instantiation on a user interface.

Abstract: An industrial motor drive and associated human interface module (HIM) for interfacing with the industrial motor drive to control operation of a motor in an industrial operation. The human interface module receives inputs from a human related to control parameters associated with the industrial motor drive and presents progressively narrowing lists and suggestions to assist the user in accessing and modifying control parameters associated with the industrial motor drive. Based on a modification to a control parameter, the industrial motor drive controls the operation of the motor in the industrial operation accordingly.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may involve an industrial network device that performs an operation based on symbolic data received via an input terminal. The systems and methods may involve processing circuitry coupled via an output terminal to the input terminal. The processing circuitry may provide a virtualized control system communicatively coupled to the industrial network device via the output terminal, receive an event notification from a first container provided by one or more computing devices external to the industrial automation system, operate the virtualized control system to expose the event notification via a symbolic common industrial protocol (CIP) namespace to provide the symbolic data to the input terminal based on the event notification, and transmit the symbolic data corresponding to the virtualized control system via the one or more input terminals to the industrial network device.

Abstract: A computer readable medium stores instructions that cause a processor to receive an industry profile associated with an industrial automation system that includes a plurality of devices, each including a compute surface that performs software tasks. The instructions cause the processor to determine data processing tasks to perform based on the industry profile, identify a portion of the devices to perform the data processing tasks based on the compute surface available for each of the devices, deploy a container to each of the portion of the devices, wherein each container of each of the portion of the devices performs at least one of the data processing tasks, receive one or more properties associated with the container of each of the portion of the plurality of devices, and update a registry to indicate the one or more properties associated with the container of each of the portion of the devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may relate to a system including a plurality of industrial devices that each perform one or more operations within an industrial automation system having a plurality of hierarchical levels. Each of the plurality industrial devices may include a compute surface able to perform software tasks. The system may include a system of processors that receives trigger event data from a device corresponding to a first hierarchical level of the plurality of hierarchical levels. In addition, the system of processors is configured to identify a target device associated with additional data associated with the trigger event data, deploy a container to the target device, generate a data pattern based on the trigger event data and the acquired additional data, determine a remedial action associated with the trigger event data based on the data pattern, and instruct a device to implement the remedial action.
