Abstract:
Systems and methods of a Hierarchical Smart Asset Control Application development and Integrated Smart Asset Control System optimization are disclosed. In various embodiments, the system may develop a Hierarchical Asset Control Application and corresponding control hardware requirements. This can be used to create an Integrated Smart Asset Control System in order execute various processes for a set of equipment elements.

Abstract:
Simulationsverfahren zur Simulation einer realen Steuerung für einen industriellen Prozess, eine Anlage oder eine Maschine sowie Simulationssystem zur Ausführung eines derartigen Simulationsverfahrens Simulationsverfahren zur Simulation einer realen Steuerung (2) für einen industriellen Prozess, eine Anlage oder eine Maschine sollen im Simulationsverlauf auftretende Fehler leichter ermittelt werden können. Hierzu schlägt die Erfindung vor, dass ein Simulationssystem (7) Zwischenzustände bei der Simulation speichert und mit einem Zeitstempel versieht, wobei ein gespeicherter Zwischenzustand zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt erneut in das Simulationssystem (7) geladen und darauf basierend eine Simulation ausgeführt werden kann. Dadurch müssen Simulationen nicht stets mit dem Beginn des zu simulierenden Steuerungsprogramms starten.
Abstract:
Système d'usinage (10) comportant une machine comportant : - un outil réel (12); - des actionneurs (14) pour déplacer l'outil réel (12); - des capteurs (15) pour générer des données de positionnement (16) de l'outil réel (12); - une mémoire (17) pour stocker des données de correction de la géométrie (20) de l'outil réel (12); - un contrôleur physique (18) pour exécuter un programme d'usinage (19) et commander aux actionneurs (14), en fonction des données de correction de géométrie (20), de déplacer l'outil réel (12) par rapport au brut réel (13). A partir desdites données (22) représentatives des positions de l'outil réel (12) et du brut réel (13), des moyens d'affichage d'images (24) génèrent une image reconstituée (25) représentative : de la forme du brut réel (13); et de la position de l'outil réel (12) à un instant donné.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for controlling the production process of a product (650) by a system (600), the system being linked to a process control system (10) controlling the system (600), the method comprising the steps of determining a first n-tuple representative of current 5 parameters of the product (650) by at least one input means (670) of the process control system (10), retaining the first n-tuple in a memory of the process control system (10), displaying (130) the product (650) having the current parameters on a display device (100) of the process control system (10), displaying on the display device (100) control elements (151, 152) for selecting from one or more pre-defined process actions that are compatible to be performed on the product 10 (650) having the current parameters as retained in the first n-tuple, each process action being representative of a first transformation matrix of a dimension that is compatible with the first n-tuple, the one or more pre-defined process actions and their corresponding first transformation matrices being retained in the memory of the process control system (10), selecting one of the one or more pre-defined process actions, applying the first transformation matrix corresponding 15 to the selected process action to the first n-tuple to produce a second n-tuple of future parame-ters of the product (650) and displaying (130) the product (650) having the future parameters of the second n-tuple on the display device (100) of the process control system (10), providing in-structions (310) representative of the matrix elements in the first transformation matrix of the selected process action to the system (600) for performing a process step on the product (650) 20 corresponding to the process action.
