20130282190 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT OF POWER PLANT ASSETS - Systems and methods for generating and maintaining configuration and management of power plant assets are described herein. A list of possible plant assets are received from a plant information model. One or more hardware assets describing a configuration of a particular power plant are selected, such as turbines, pumps, control interfaces, and so forth. Hierarchical relationships between at least a portion of the selected assets are defined. Asset configuration data is generated based at least in part on the selection and the defined relationships. | 10-24-2013 |
20140097952 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPREHENSIVE ALARM MANAGEMENT - Systems and methods for comprehensive alarm management can be provided. In one embodiment, a system for monitoring subsystems can be provided. The system can include at least one memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions. The instructions can be configured to receive alarm information or information suitable for use in generating alarms from one or more sensors, devices or computing devices associated with a respective subsystem within the system. The instructions can be further configured to determine one or more alarm events based at least in part upon the alarm information, and generate one or more alarm messages based at least in part on the alarm events. The instructions can further be configured to display a subset of the alarm messages based at least upon a selection of one or more classifying criteria. | 04-10-2014 |
20140324196 | REAL-TIME DEBUGGING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Embodiments of the disclosure relate to real-time debugging systems and methods. In one embodiment, a system that includes a server module and a client module can be provided. The server module can be executable on a first computer and can be adapted to use a native communications format for interactive transfer of industrial automation data between the first computer and at least one industrial automation element. The client module, which can be executable on the same computer as the server module or on a different computer, can include a debugging application configured to use a universal communications format for communicatively interacting with the server module for accessing the industrial automation data and debugging one or more programming portions associated with the industrial automation data. | 10-30-2014 |
20140358509 | Systems and Methods for Presenting Data Associated with a Power Plant Asset - Certain embodiments may include systems and methods for presenting data associated with a power plant configuration tool. In one embodiment, a method may include creating configurations of inter-object relationships among a plurality of asset objects of a massive object model, loading the object model, changing values of data member attributes of at least one of the asset objects with a plant configuration tool without changing software code of plant configuration tool, saving the configurations in a permanent storage location, and retrieving the configurations for display to a user. | 12-04-2014 |
