20100241244 | NATIVELY RETAINING PROJECT DOCUMENTATION IN A CONTROLLER - An industrial controller comprises a processing component and a memory that comprises logic code that is executable by the processing component. The memory further comprises documentation associated with the logic code and other control components, wherein the documentation is stored in a native form to enable individualized access to a portion of the documentation to an accessing entity. For example, the documentation can comprise one or more of descriptive text relating to a rung of ladder logic, a text box associated with a portion of the sequential function chart, a text box associated with a function block diagram, and embedded descriptive text within structured text. | 09-23-2010 |
20130123944 | Data Resource Identity - An automation control and monitoring system includes an operating system and a data model. The operating system is configured to receive a request for instantiation of an object representing an attribute of the automation control and monitoring system. The operating system is also configured to generate an object identifier when the request for instantiation is received, wherein the object identifier is unique from any other object identifiers employed by the operating system. The data model is configured to store and associate the object with the generated object identifier such that any component of the automation control and monitoring system may access the object by referencing the object identifier. | 05-16-2013 |
20130123946 | AGILE CONTROL MODEL SYSTEM AND METHOD - A control and monitoring system is provided that includes an automation controller. The system includes a distributed model stored on the automation controller. Changes to the distributed model are provided via delta scripts that define only the changes to the model. Further, the control and monitoring system | 05-16-2013 |
20130123948 | CONTROL ENVIRONMENT CHANGE COMMUNICATION - An automation control system is provided that includes a first component that stores state information of an object of the automation control system. Additionally, the first component generates one or more delta scripts that describe one or more changes of the stored state information. Further, the first component transmits the one or more delta scripts to one or more other components of the control system and the one or more other components apply the one or more delta scripts to update state information stored on the one or more other components based upon the one or more changes. | 05-16-2013 |
20130123952 | CONTROL ENVIRONMENT CHANGE COMMUNICATION - An automation control system is provided that includes delta scripts that describe one or more changes of the stored state information. The delta scripts may be useful to enable one or more other components of the control system and the one or more other components apply the one or more delta scripts to update state information stored on the one or more other components based upon the one or more changes. | 05-16-2013 |
20130123953 | CONTROL ENVIRONMENT COMMAND EXECUTION - An automation control system is provided that includes one or more components. The components include an embedded execution engine that is configured to execute one or more commands based upon data communicated to the one or more components from another component of the automation control system. The data is representative of a change to an object in the control system. | 05-16-2013 |
20130123954 | CHAINABLE PLUG-INS - An automation control and monitoring system is provided that includes chainable plug-ins that may work in combination with one another to transform data or generate events. Resources of the automation control and monitoring system may be polymorphically defined based upon a generalized object model. The chainable plug-ins may be chained to make use of and/or affect a resource of any type. | 05-16-2013 |
20130131840 | SCALABLE AUTOMATION SYSTEM - An automation control and monitoring system is provided that includes a common framework for components of the control and monitoring system through a resource oriented architecture (ROA). The ROA may enable enhanced scalability and distribution within the control and monitoring system. Further, the framework may provide a base set of functionalities to be implemented across components of the control and monitoring system, creating vertical scalability. | 05-23-2013 |
