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: 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.

Abstract: Technology disclosed herein includes a prompt engineering service that integrates artificial intelligence with the programming systems of an industrial automation environment to design a system of the industrial automation environment. The interface service leverages the capabilities of a large language model (LLM) trained on industrial automation workflows to provide accurate and relevant system design information. For example, the interface service receives system configuration data and generates a first prompt requesting a category associated with the system configuration data. The interface service uses the first prompt to generate a response from the LLM. The interface service generates a second prompt requesting a user interface message for offering assistance to configure the system based on the category. The interface service uses the second prompt to generate the user interface message and displays the message in a user interface.

Abstract: The present technology relates to artificial intelligence assisted device troubleshooting. In an implementation, an interface service of a human machine interface application trains a machine learning model on the content of an embeddings database. The interface service then receives an input comprising a context of an automation system design. The interface service generates a prompt that includes an instruction for the ML model to identify an anomaly type associated with the context of the automation system design and to generate a solution that addresses the anomaly type. The interface service transmits the prompt to the ML model and receives a response from the ML model that includes the anomaly type and the requested solution. After receiving a response, the interface service may modify the automation system design based on the content of the response and surface a graphical user interface that includes the modified design.

Abstract: An industrial automation system is described including multiple devices, a master container node, a container node, and a control system. The devices may connect to an external application programming interface (API) of an external device (e.g., an electric power utility company), receive an API call from the external API indicative of a time window for monitoring electrical power consumption of the devices by the external API, and output one or more information technology (IT) commands in response to receiving the API call. The container node may be coupled to the master container node, wherein the container node may map the IT commands to operation technology (OT) commands. The control system may be coupled to the container node and the plurality of devices. The control system may implement the OT commands on the devices to perform one or more operations.

Abstract: A secure certificate is provided to enable features within a motor drive. The certificate enables secure delivery of features for execution on the motor drive. A private key is stored in the motor drive, and the secure certificate is encrypted by the supplier with a corresponding public key. The encrypted certificate is delivered via a secure channel to the motor drive. The motor drive decrypts the certificate and reads the desired features for inclusion in the motor drive from extensions defined within the certificate. The motor drive downloads instructions for execution on the motor drive as well as configuration parameters required to execute the desired features. The instructions and parameters are stored in the memory of the motor drive for subsequent execution. Identification of features by secure certificate allows for feature and time-based licensing of functions for execution by the motor drive.
