    摘要: A flash-on reduction circuit for use in the binary state output circuitry of an industrial controller employs a current conductor to charge parasitic capacitances of the output circuitry when the industrial controller is first turned on and a current limiter for preventing high current flows through the output power stages of the output circuit when the industrial controller is first turned on. The current limiter is deactivated by a timing means after the parasitic capacitances have been charged by the current conductor. In a first embodiment, the current conductor and current limiting means are provided by a current source applying increasing power to the output circuit.

    摘要: An input/output (I/O) module has a programmable memory having a first memory address for receiving a module number and a second memory address for receiving a signal direction indicator. The I/O module is for use with a programmable controller system having a master controller serially connected to a plurality of I/O modules. The I/O module has a signal line operatively coupled with the memory. The signal line has a pair of inputs. Both inputs are configured and adapted for receiving a module number signal across a line connected therewith. The other one of the inputs will then propagate the module number signal downstream. A logic circuit sets the second memory address with the signal direction indicator corresponding to the module number signal being received by a particular one of the inputs.

    摘要: The subject matter disclosed herein describes a method to allocate and prioritize data communications on an industrial control network. A transmission schedule including multiple priority windows and multiple queues is established. Each queue is assigned to at least one priority window, and each priority window may have multiple queues assigned thereto. A control device communicating on the control network transmits data packets according to the transmission schedule. Within each priority window, data packets corresponding to one of the queues assigned to the priority window may be transmitted. The data packets may be transmitted at any point during the priority window, but will only be transmitted if no data packet from a higher queue is waiting to be transmitted.

    摘要: System(s) and method(s) that facilitate utilizing biometric sensors (e.g., fingerprint, hand scan, voice recognition . . . ) in manufacturing systems in order to maintain accurate safety audit trails. A safety audit system, utilizing a biometric sensing device, facilitates determining if a user is allowed to access and change the configuration of the manufacturing system. Once a user is allowed to change the configuration (e.g., programmable electronics, tooling changes, software updates, etc.) the changes are automatically recorded in a safety audit database. Automatic storage of configuration changes mitigates manual recording of changes thereby enhancing the safety audit data often necessary to meet safety standards for manufacturing systems.

    摘要: A system serializes control signals within a safety control architecture wherein a safety serial interface at least one of receives and transmits signals from one or more processing components. A serialization component receives and serializes at least one data packet from the safety serial interface to control at least one of an input and an output associated with the safety control architecture. A safety related test circuit verifies input signals associated with the serialization component are not internally falsifying the state of the input signals. A heartbeat watchdog component verifies a true heartbeat bit in the at least one data packet is opposite a complement heartbeat bit in the at least one data packet within a predetermined time interval and shuts off power to at least one of an output and an input if such a condition is not met.

    摘要: A programmable controller includes a number of equipment racks having slots which receive a processor module and a plurality of input/output modules. Each rack has a backplane which includes a number of buses for electrically interconnecting the modules therein, one of these buses carries slot address signals identifying the slot containing an input/output module which the processor module seeks to access. The backplanes of the racks are connected together in a daisy chain. Each backplane has a circuit which responds to the addresses of that rack's slots by producing enable signals for the module in the corresponding slot. This backplane circuit also subtracts the number of slots in its rack from the slot address and passes the result to the next rack in the daisy chain. By this justification of the slot address as it is passed down the daisy chain, each rack address decoder circuit can be hard wired to respond to slot addresses between zero and X, where X is the number of slots in that rack; regardless of the rack's relative position within the daisy chain and the range of virtual addresses for its slots.
