Abstract:
According to embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a method and system for managing compatibility of a plurality of devices within a work cell. A method for managing a compatibility of a plurality of devices within a work cell in a molding site, the plurality of devices including a first device and a second device, is provided. The method comprises receiving an indication of a first unique parameter from the first device and a second unique parameter from the second device; based upon the first unique parameter and the second unique parameter, determining a compatibility indicator, which is indicative of compatibility between the first device and the second device; and responsive to the compatibility indicator being indicative of incompatibility between the first device and the second device, generating a conflict resolution parameter for rendering the first device and the second device compatible.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises an electronic device configured to be used in an industrial control system. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory. The electronic device additionally includes a backwards compatible memory map stored in the memory, wherein the electronic device is configured to provide for a backwards compatibility mode of operations by applying the backwards compatible memory map and at least one memory map setpoint, wherein the backwards compatibility mode of operations provides for communications with an external device, and wherein the at least one memory map setpoint is included in an older version of the electronic device.
Abstract:
System and methods for configuring a technical system based on generated rules and building the technical system. The technical system and the generated rules are given in graph representations including the following steps: defining rules by a user and representing the rules in a graphical interface, converting the rules from the graphical interface into a programming language and/or a natural language, validating the rules for the technical system, checking the compatibility of the rules, serializing the rules for storage in a file system or a database, using the serialized rules to configure the technical system, and building the configured technical system.
