Methods and apparatus to upgrade and control information presented to process plant operators are disclosed. A disclosed example method to control information presented to a process plant operator comprises presenting a first version of a process plant display, presenting a dynamic attention user interface when a selectable element of the first version of the process plant operator display is activated, wherein the dynamic attention user interface is to be used to adjust an importance of information presented in the first version of the process plant display, and presenting a second version of the process plant display based on a variable adjusted via the dynamic attention user interface.
摘要:
In a system that connects a numerical controller (NC) unit to an operation board and to a plurality of remote I/Os with serial communication lines, the control method of the serial communication line between the NC unit and the operation board is similar to the control method of the serial communication line between the NC unit and the remote I/Os, so that the operation board can at times use the same communication lines as the remote I/Os to improve the flexibility of the system. The frame length and communication interval of data transmitted/received between the NC unit and the operation board are the same as those of data transmitted/received between the NC unit and the remote I/O. The operation board and the remote I/O can thus be connected to a common communication controlling portion of the NC unit.

A board work system operable by a plurality of operators assigned in turn to operate. The system includes (a) at least one device changeable to each one of a plurality of different modes; (b) a control device which controls the changeable device, and receives operator ID data identifying each operator, so as to recognize which one of the operators is currently assigned to operate the system; and (c) an ID-data input device operable to input the operator ID data to the control device. The control device includes: (b-1) a suitable-mode-establishing-data storing portion which stores suitable-mode-establishing data representative of one of the different modes which is to be established during operation of the system by each operator; and (b-2) a suitable-mode establishing portion which establishes one of the different modes on the basis of the suitable-mode establishing data and according to the operator ID data inputted to the control device.
摘要:
In order to simplify the HMI design of HMI surfaces for operating and observing automation components with the aid of an HMI unit, HMI data are derived directly from the engineering process. The generation of relevant HMI data is therefore integrated in the operation for commissioning, designing and programming an automation component such that HMI information is also generated by simple operating actions or in an automated fashion in normal engineering.

The invention relates to a method of connecting a mobile, electronic control and/or monitoring unit (9) to at least one machine or at least one machine component in a group or a plurality of machines (2) or machine components to be controlled and/or monitored. During a connection or log-on procedure between the control and/or monitoring unit (9) and a co-operating distant point on the respective machine (2), a clear link or log-on connection is set up either by means of interfaces (14, 15) to the selected, wireless direction-finder of the co-operating distant point or alternatively by means of transmitters and/or receivers (16, 17) tuned to a restricted, localized functional or operating range (21). Once the connection has been acknowledged and established, the programmed control and/or monitoring of the machine (2) or the machine component is managed via another, standard data transmission means (22), for example a hard-wired network and/or via a wireless link between the control and/or monitoring unit (9) and the selected machine (2). Also proposed is a control and/or monitoring unit (9) for implementing this method.
