Abstract: The subject invention relates to systems and methods that generate modules profiles for industrial control modules (e.g., I/O, scanners, adapters . . . ). A module profile generally includes a set of components, interfaces and/or plug-ins that determine possible configurations for a module. Such entities are packaged in an XML based format to provide a dynamic module profile, wherein a definition type can be dynamically changed. Development and/or configuration of a module can be achieved through an industrial software development environment via a graphical hierarchical representation of configuration options defined in the module profile. In addition, the module profile provides for separately installable/release independent utilization via XML and COM based interfaces, wherein an end-user does not have to wait for a new software release in order to add a new module.

Abstract: A transactional data communications system and method communicates information within an enterprise having a process control system and a plurality of information technology systems that are communicatively coupled to the process control system via a web services interface and a transactional information server. The system and method generates transactional process control information and formats the transactional process control information based on an extensible markup language input schema to form formatted transactional process control information. The system and method sends the formatted transactional process control information to the transactional information server via the web services interface and maps the formatted transactional process control information to an extensible markup language output schema associated with one of the plurality of information technology systems to form mapped transactional process control information. The system and method then sends the mapped transactional process control information to the one of the plurality of information technology systems.

Abstract: A power management architecture for an electrical power distribution system, or portion thereof, is disclosed. The architecture includes multiple intelligent electronic devices (“IED's”) distributed throughout the power distribution system to manage the flow and consumption of power from the system. The IED's are linked via a network to back-end servers. Power management application components operate on the IED's, the back-end servers and inter-operate via the network to implement a power management application. The architecture provides a scalable and cost effective framework of hardware and software upon which such power management applications can operate to manage the distribution and consumption of electrical power by one or more utilities/suppliers and/or customers which provide and utilize the power distribution system. In particular, each IED is capable of incrementally generated or consuming communicated XML documents containing power management data without having to buffer the complete XML document is memory before, during or after processing.
