Abstract: There is described a system (100) and method for managing control performance of a field device (120-126) receiving variable data (406). Variable and setpoint references (406, 408) corresponding to a control loop of the field device (120-126) are identified. A time delay normal period (410) based on expected oscillations of the variable reference (406) and settling limits (412, 414) associated with the setpoint reference (408) are also identified. An offnormal timestamp (420) is generated based on the variable reference (406) relative to one or more second pre- settling limits (416, 418) associated with the setpoint reference (408). A normal timestamp (422) is generated based on the variable reference (406) relative to the settling limits (412, 414). A settling time (424) of the control performance is determined based on the normal timestamp (422), the offnormal timestamp (420), and the time delay normal period (410). One or more performance features of the field device (120-126) are modified based on the determined settling time (424).

Abstract: There is described a system and method for high ventilation using outdoor air in an indoor area comprising an HVAC unit (101) and a controller (124). The HVAC unit (101) includes at least one damper (110) and a fan (130). The controller (124) detects an activation of an emergency purge mode, adjusts the at least one air damper (110) to allow a maximum of outside air to flow through the HVAC unit (101) without circulating return air, and establishes a fan speed of the fan (130) for maximum outside airflow through the HVAC unit (101). The controller (124) also modifies the fan speed of the fan (130) based on an occupant comfort criteria without regard to energy efficiency of the HVAC unit (101). The fan speed is modified based on a delta enthalpy of the HVAC unit (101) and a nominal capacity of the HVAC unit (101).

Abstract: An edge device can be configured to perform industrial control operations within a production environment that defines a physical location. The edge device can include a plurality of neural network layers that define a deep neural network. The edge device be configured to obtain data from one or more sensors at the physical location defined by the production environment. The edge device can be further configured to perform one or more matrix operations on the data using the plurality of neural network layers so as to generate a large scale matrix computation at the physical location defined by the production environment. In some examples, the edge device can send the large scale matrix computation to a digital twin simulation model associated with the production environment, so as to update the digital twin simulation model in real time.

Abstract: A Skill Logic Controller (SLC) is provided for controlling an automation process of an industrial control system involving edge devices. The SLC comprises a Central Processor Unit (CPU) module including a processor and an accessible memory storing an automation main component as a programmed skill. The programmed skill is a self-contained algorithm that takes inputs from an environment such as smart sensors and give commands in sequence to smart machines to accomplish a task such that the programmed skill is configured to interact with its environment such as the smart sensors and the smart machines or other programmed skills by asking questions and seeking clarifications. The accessible memory further stores a SLC program comprising software instructions that when executed by the processor are configured to provide combinatorial logic and sequential control for the automation process.

Abstract: There is described a zone controller and method for identifying a root cause failure at a zone. The zone controller determines whether a temperature measurement deviates from a temperature setpoint of the temperature sensor (316), and generates a first repair code, a second repair code, and/or a third repair code. The first repair code replaces a temperature sensor (316) in response to detecting that a reading of the temperature sensor (316) has failed. The second repair code releases an operator override on the reading of the temperature sensor (316) in response to detecting that the reading of the temperature sensor (316) has been overridden. The third repair code releases an operator override on a setpoint of the temperature sensor (316) in response to detecting that the setpoint of the temperature sensor (316) is outside the predetermined setpoint range. One or more of these repair codes are provided to a remote device.

Abstract: There is described a building automation system (306) for controlling conditions of a room (310). The building automation system (306) comprises a room device (328-332), a first interface (322), a second interface (324), and a managing device (for example, 404-408). The first interface (322) receives a voice command based on a voice utterance detected in the room (310) by the voice enabled system (302, 304). The second interface (324) receives a hospitality user profile from a hospitality information system (308). The hospitality user profile identifies one or more user parameters associated with the room (310). The managing device of the building automation system (306) includes a guest room profile that identifies one or more room parameters associated with the room (310). The managing device controls the room device (328-332) based on the voice command, the hospitality user profile, and the guest room profile.
