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: A method may include receiving, via a secure deployment management (SDM) system, configuration data associated with an industrial device, identifying, via the SDM system, a presence of a secure deployment management (SDM) node associated with the industrial device, and establishing, via the SDM system, a secure communication channel between the SDM system and the SDM node using one or more security protocols. The method may also involve sending, via the SDM system, the configuration data to the industrial device via the secure communication channel. The industrial device may receive the configuration data without performing one or more security operations on the configuration data.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, via a secure deployment management (SDM) system, data associated with operations of an industrial device from a SDM node associated with the industrial device. The data is received via a secure communication channel established by the SDM system with the SDM node and security protocols. The SDM node is communicatively coupled with a machine learning system for sending and receiving data. The machine learning system may generate an updated machine learning model based on the data and a machine learning model representative of expected outputs associated with the operations of the industrial device and generate updated configuration data based on the updated machine learning model. The method may then include receiving the updated configuration data from the SDM node via the secure communication channel and sending the updated configuration data to the industrial device without performing security operations on the updated configuration data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed herein for the integrated design and deployment of process control logic and power control logic in the context of industrial automation environments. In an implementation a computer displays, in an integrated design environment, representations of process control logic for controlling manufacturing devices an industrial automation process and of power control logic for controlling electrical devices in the industrial automation process. The computer further deploys the process control logic and the power control logic to a programmable logic controller (PLC) that controls the industrial automation process.

Abstract: A system may include a power supply that generates a first voltage. The power supply may couple upstream from an electrical load. The electrical load may operate based at least in part on the first voltage. In some cases, a solid-state circuit breaker may be coupled between the power supply and the electrical load. Furthermore, a control system may be communicatively coupled to the power supply, the electrical load, and the solid-state circuit breaker. The control system may receive an operational status from the solid-state circuit breaker and may update a visualization rendered on a graphical user interface based at least in part on the operational status. The operational status may indicate an operation of the solid-state circuit breaker coupling the power supply to the electrical load.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed herein for the integrated design and deployment of process control logic and power control logic in the context of industrial automation environments. In an implementation, a programmable logic controller executes power control logic to control a power control module on the network of the electrical subsystem of an industrial automation process. The power control module relays electrical device information to the programmable logic controller which issues power control commands according to the power control logic. The power and process control logic executed by the programmable logic controller are designed in an integrated design environment which includes representations of process control logic for controlling manufacturing devices of the industrial automation process and of power control logic for controlling electrical devices in the industrial automation process.
