Abstract: A design diagram representation for an industrial operator interface that combines configuration and presentation aspects is provided. The design diagram representation illustrates state transitions, interlocks, and/or permissives for an industrial process or device as a dataflow diagram, a state diagram, or other such diagrams, and renders live state information for the process or device as numeric indicators, string indicators, color-animated state icons, and the like. Flow lines of the diagram are highlighted based on the displayed state information to convey an overall status of the process. In addition, the design diagram representation includes one or more data fields that allow an operator to modify or set a numeric variable for the industrial process (e.g. a timer, a setpoint, etc.), thereby allowing the industrial process to be viewed and configured using a single interface.

Abstract: A state machine configurator for creating controller-executable state machines is provided. The state machine configurator provides a development environment that allows a user to define a customized state machine for control of a particular industrial process. Once the states and state transitions are defined, the configurator compiles the state machine configuration information to generate a state machine instruction that can be imported into an industrial control program to facilitate control of the industrial process in accordance with the defined state machine. The state machine configurator supports creation of role-specific state machines and embedded state machines.

Abstract: Aspects describe multiple interface support that provides dynamic switching between new and old interface revisions. A first interface application is selected from a set of alternative interface applications for an industrial automation system. Support for each interface application included in the set of alternative interface applications is provided. A second interface application is downloaded and associated with the first interface application. The second interface application is enabled during runtime. If needed, the second interface application can be selectively disabled and an operation resumed with the first interface application.

Abstract: An advisable state notification framework for an operator interface system is provided. Advisable states represent events detected within an industrial system that are less critical than alarm events but that nevertheless warrant notification. The framework supports multiple classes of advisable states, which are configured and handled separately from alarm states. Each class of advisable state is notified using a unique graphical icon. Moreover, the framework distributes advisable state icons on selected screens throughout the display screen navigational hierarchy to guide the operator to screens that identify the source of the advisable state. The notification and guidance features are inherent to the operator interface development environment, accelerating development time and reducing the need to create a custom notification framework.
