Abstract:
An industrial automation system may include a first computing device that may receive operational technology (OT) data from industrial automation devices of an industrial automation system, determine identities of the industrial automation devices based on the OT data, determine that the OT data includes data attributes having variations as compared to additional OT data, transmit the identifiers and the data attributes to a second computing device in response to determining that the data attributions have the variations, receive containers including updated digital representations of the industrial automation devices from the second computing device, execute the containers to output additional data attributes, and send commands to the industrial automation devices to modify processes based the additional data attributes.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided. The apparatus including a plurality of network interfaces, including a first network interface and a second network interface. The apparatus also includes a processor with two or more independent processing units, including a first independent processing unit and a second independent processing unit. The apparatus further includes a memory having first instructions and second instructions stored thereon. Execution of the first instructions, cause the first independent processing unit to execute operations associated with a first operating system and communicate, via the first network interface, over a bi-direction communication, with one or more platform computing devices. Execution of the second instructions, cause the second independent processing unit to execute real-time operations associated with a second operating system and communicate, via the second network interface, with one or more computing devices each having one or more sensors thereon.
Abstract:
A method for integrating at least one field device into a network of automation technology, wherein a plurality of field devices are arranged distributed in an automated plant, wherein accessing of the field devices occurs via a field access unit, which communicates with at least one automation/integration platform and at least one web server of a service provider, wherein the service provider provides for each field device a virtual image of the field device in a database, wherein the service provider transmits to the operator of the automated plant via cloud-computing web services, or Internet based services, automatically or on query, the virtual image of the field device with concrete field device- and application-specific properties at run time (the virtual image is preferably transmitted directly into the field device, and wherein the field device performs its function in the automated plant, as soon as it is integrated into the network.

Abstract:
A method for optimizing the parameter setting of at least one energy supply parameter of a field device power supply module. The field device power supply module is, in such case, connected exclusively to one field device. The connected field device is supplied with electrical energy by the field device power supply module. In the method, the system composed of field device and field device power supply module is operated and a parameter setting of at least one energy supply parameter varied. In such case, the operation of the field device is monitored. Parameter settings are ascertained, in the case of which a relatively low energy consumption of the field device and simultaneously a safe operation of the field device can be realized in the relevant operational phase.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided and include a formula server having formulas and conversion modules that are separate from a diagnostic application of a diagnostic tool. The diagnostic tool receives the diagnostic data and transmits it to a remote computer, where the data is converted using a formula. The resulting data is then transmitted back to the diagnostic tool for display.

Abstract:
Sensors on the integrated circuit are used to detect the current operating state of the chip, such as frequency, voltage, temperature characteristics, or variation in the integrated circuit manufacturing process. In response, the integrated circuit may choose to modify operational parameters (such as frequency, voltage, or power-down states) in order to dynamically and autonomously maintain an optimal performance and/or power-efficiency operational point.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method (200) of updating safety-related software in a people conveyor system, particularly in an elevator system (10), the method comprising: the steps of providing an updated version of the safety-related software (210); storing (230) the updated version of the safety-related software in a safety unit (60) of the people conveyor system; activating (240) the updated version of the safety-related software, the step of activating including operating a software update activation switch permanently associated with the people conveyor system; and in case of successful activation of the updated version of the safety-related software, controlling the operation of the people conveyor system based on the updated version of the safety-related software (290).
Abstract:
Provided is a robot apparatus and a method of reconfiguring a software component and an internal environment that may autonomously optimize and reconfigure a component execution program, execution environment settings, and the like, dynamically reconfigure components using a component included in the robot or a component downloaded from a server, or optimally configure an internal configuration of the robot, in response to the provided command so that the robot apparatus may perform a provided command in response to a change in an environment by dynamically recognizing the change in the environment when an environment in which the robot is used, although the external environment or the internal environment is changed while the robot is operated.
