20090089226 | VISUALIZATION OF NON-TIME SERIES EVENTS - Systems and methods that displays available relationships between internal and external data streams. A coordination component can collect and analyze both the “internal” data stream(s) and the “external” data stream(s) simultaneously, and a visualization component can present a form of a visual cue, on a collection of history data and network data. Accordingly, instead of merely storing data values as function of time, other non-time series correlation states can be employed dynamically to represent data to the user. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089233 | CORRELATION OF NON-TIMES SERIES EVENTS IN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS - Systems and methods that correlate among disparate pieces of synchronized data, collected from an “internal” data stream (e.g., history data collected from an industrial unit) and an “external” data stream (e.g., traffic data on network services). A process trend component that determines/predicts an outcome of an industrial process and facilitates diagnostics/prognostics of an industrial system. Accordingly, relations among various parameters can be discovered (e.g., dynamically) and proper corrective adjustments supplied to the industrial process. Such enables a tight control and short reaction time to process parameters, and for a modification thereof. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089325 | TARGETED RESOURCE ALLOCATION - Systems and methods that manage resources and distribution thereof within an industrial system. Such an automated and dynamic allocation service can allocate resources from pools of resources available to the industrial system, and hence supply an efficient operation (e.g., adding/subtracting resources dynamically based on usage). A plurality of allocation rules and/or algorithms for resource types can be predetermined, and/or dynamically trained by the allocation service. The data employed for the industrial system includes sets of data from the “internal” data stream(s) (e.g., history data collected from an industrial unit) and sets of data from an “external” (e.g., traffic data on network services) data stream(s), based in part on the criticality/importance criteria assigned to each collection stage. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089359 | SUBSCRIPTION AND NOTIFICATION IN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS - Systems and methods that record information associated with proprietary processes in sufficient detail, to facilitate process optimization. A subscription and notification component enables tracking of various events, wherein each event can subscribe to a corresponding log (e.g., a diagnostic log, alarm log, and the like), and vice versa—to display desired items based on predetermined classifications. Moreover, access to both an internal data stream(s) and an external data stream(s) can be supplied via the subscription and notification component of the subject innovation. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089558 | ADJUSTMENT OF DATA COLLECTION RATE BASED ON ANOMALY DETECTION - Systems and methods that vary multiple data sampling rates, to collect sets of data with different levels of granularity for an industrial system. The data for such industrial system includes sets of data from the “internal” data stream(s) (e.g., history data collected from an industrial unit) and sets of data from an “external” (e.g., traffic data on network services) data stream(s), based in part on the criticality/importance criteria assigned to each collection stage. Each set of data can be assigned its own unique data collection rate. For example, a higher sample rate can be employed when collecting data from the network during an operation stage that is deemed more critical (e.g., dynamic attribution of predetermined importance factors) than the rest of the operation. | 04-02-2009 |
20090192645 | AUTOMATIC CONTROLLER RELATIONSHIP RESOLUTION - In an industrial control system, a relatively large number of bindings can permeate between different controllers. As a modification is made in a primary binding, supplemental bindings can be impacted and can become erroneous. The supplemental bindings can be automatically resolved such that they are no longer erroneous. Resolution can take place through access of a distributed directory that holds information related to the different controllers. To lower a likelihood of control system error or failure, the primary binding and supplemental binding can be placed online in synchronization. | 07-30-2009 |
20090193029 | SELF-ORGANIZED DISTRIBUTED DIRECTORY - Various amounts of information can be beneficial to different controllers configured upon an industrial control system. Information can be retained in a distributed directory such that controllers quickly learn information concerning other controllers. The distributed directory can be automatically constructed and populated with information from different controllers. When a module enters an industrial control system, information can automatically advertise to other units through use of the distributed directory. | 07-30-2009 |
20090300021 | INDUSTRIAL CONTROL METADATA ENGINE - In an industrial control setting, different components can have information that can be valuable to various entities, such as other components, technicians, and the like. A decision can be made as to what information should be available to entities and a determination can be made if the information should be published in a directory or be discoverable. Security can be taken into account in determining if information should be published and decision making can employ adaptive learning, such that a publish and/or discovery decision criterion can be modified based on the learning. | 12-03-2009 |
20100042586 | DIRECTORY CONTENT RESOLUTION - In a distributed directory configuration, different nodes can retain information pertinent an industrial control configuration. As information changes in one node, replicas of the information in other nodes can be updated. However, updating can take time and a query can be run upon the directory while nodes have conflicting information. Conflicting information can be identified and resolved such that a query obtains a correct answer. | 02-18-2010 |
20100076575 | AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTABLE INDUSTRIAL CONTROL CONFIGURATION - An industrial control configuration can be a dynamic entity where different controllers are added, are subtracted, fail, etc. When dynamic functions occur, bindings of the configuration can benefit from a modification. Therefore, automatic adjustment of bindings can occur to facilitate improved operation. Automatic adjustment can be practiced when the industrial control configuration is a distributed control configuration without reliance upon a central database. | 03-25-2010 |
20100121799 | DIVERSE NETWORK RELATIVE ADDRESSING RESOLUTION - A requesting entity can submit a query to an industrial control configuration to determine a location for a module. A distributed directory can be employed to discover an absolute location of the module, which can be provided to the requesting entity. This discovery can occur in real-time such that an answer can be given with a relatively high degree of certainty. In addition to providing the absolute address in the answer, a path on how to reach the module can be provided. The path can be optimized in order to allow quicker response time and to manage system resources. | 05-13-2010 |
20110004589 | DIAGNOSTICS IN A DISTRIBUTED DIRECTORY SYSTEM - Providing diagnostic functions for a distributed directory employed in an industrial control environment is described herein. By way of example, status of directory entries can be monitored, updated based on activity within the control environment, and propagated to entities coupled with the environment by way of distributed directory nodes. Directory entries can be validated over time and optionally flagged as valid or deleted if invalid. In some aspects, validation can occur via direct communication with entities coupled to the control environment. Changes to directory entries can be tracked, and can be propagated through the distributed directory. Further, automatic reconfiguration of control entities can be implemented based on the changes, resulting in a dynamic and self-adapting control environment. | 01-06-2011 |
