20090083204 | HISTORIANS EMBEDDED IN INDUSTRIAL UNITS - Systems and methods that provide a historian integrated as part of an industrial unit and/or product manufactured by the industrial process. A historian integrated as part of the industrial unit itself, can increase data resolution and supply immediate and real time data regarding the industrial unit's operation—while mitigating short comings of conventional PC historians. Moreover, a locator component can detect embedded historians that are distributed on the back plane of an industrial network, and integrated as part thereof. | 03-26-2009 |
20090083648 | DIRECT SUBSCRIPTION TO INELLIGENT I/O MODULE - Systems and methods that supply direct access (e.g., bypassing the controller) to embedded historian via a subscription and notification component. By modeling the notification related information (e.g., subscription queries, subscriber information, event information . . . ) as data and leveraging the power of database systems to perform set-oriented manipulations on this data efficiently, the subject innovation enables for a highly scalable and efficient subscription and notification system for direct access to the historians. | 03-26-2009 |
20090083649 | CONTEXTUALIZATION FOR HISTORIANS IN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS - Systems and methods that discover relations and correlates among disparate pieces of data, to infer possible relationships between the industrial process and historian data/events to improve industrial operations. A correlation component can employ heuristic models to capture process data/event data, and can further include an implicit correlation component and an explicit correlation component. Accordingly, relations among various parameters can be discovered (e.g., dynamically) and proper corrective adjustments supplied to the industrial process. | 03-26-2009 |
20090089029 | ENHANCED EXECUTION SPEED TO IMPROVE SIMULATION PERFORMANCE - Systems and methods are provided to facilitate simulation(s) of components of an industrial control system. Simulation(s) execution time can be decreased by conducting the simulation in a parallel computing platform, and coupling the simulation with an optimization component that restructures the simulation code. Such automated reconfiguration removes inhibitors for parallelism, resulting in optimized code to execute the simulation, with the ensuing reduction in execution time. Execution time can also be reduced by applying an adaptive time step during state propagations that are part of the simulation. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089030 | DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION - System(s) and method(s) facilitate a distributed simulation of an industrial control system. A model of the industrial control system is generated and computing resources are scheduled for simulating portions of a simulation according to the model. Computing resources are scheduled to mitigate computational bottlenecks in the simulation and synchronize portions of the simulation deployed in disparate computing resources. Sub-processes of a control process can be simulated in dedicated computing resources as a part of a distributed simulation of the control process. Execution time of one or more portions of a distributed simulation can be increased or slowed down to synchronize said portions. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089031 | INTEGRATED SIMULATION OF CONTROLLERS AND DEVICES - A tool for simulating an industrial control system is provided. The tool includes a simulation component to emulate a controller according to a simulated execution environment and one or more simulation models for simulating devices associated with the controller, where the controller and the devices are integrated in a common simulation platform. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089032 | ENHANCED SIMULATION MODELS FOR AUTOMATION - A simulation tool for an industrial automation system is provided. The tool includes a simulation component that simulates one or more components of an industrial control system. At least one directed model provides one or more suggested parameters or profiles to the simulation component, where the suggested parameters or profiles are derived from data relating to an industry or controls application. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089227 | AUTOMATED RECOMMENDATIONS FROM SIMULATION - An industrial controller simulation system is provided. The system includes a simulation component that enables modeling of an industrial controller system. A suggestion component offers automated recommendations in accordance with the modeling of the industrial controller system. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089231 | ADAPTIVE INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS VIA EMBEDDED HISTORIAN DATA - Systems and methods that provide for adaptive processes in an industrial setting. Historian data, in conjunction with current collected data, can be converted into decision making information that is subsequently employed for modifying a process in real time. A process trend component, which is associated with a controller, can access historian data (e.g., trends collected via historians) to determine/predict an outcome of a current industrial process. Such enables a tight control and short reaction time to correcting process parameters. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089232 | MICROHISTORIANS AS PROXIES FOR DATA TRANSFER - Systems and methods that enable historians (e.g., micro-historians) to function as proxies, to supply plant level data, (e.g., history data) back to the controllers. Accordingly, typically such micro historians can function as clients/servers, to provide higher level data to the controllers (e.g., from third part databases). The historians can create a proxy that image an object on a server associated with controllers (e.g., programmable logic controller.) Such objects can contain data; pieces of code; attributes; operations or combinations thereof, for example. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089234 | AUTOMATED CODE GENERATION FOR SIMULATORS - A system that generates deployable runtime code modules is provided. The system includes an input component that accepts specifications in accordance with design preferences, a simulation component that creates and executes a simulation of the control program to be implemented, and a code generation component that creates the deployable runtime code. | 04-02-2009 |
20090089695 | PLATFORM INDEPENDENT HISTORIAN - Systems and methods that provide for historians communicating in a plurality of protocols/languages with various resources via employing an abstraction component that normalizes such communication. Accordingly, the historian can supply a common configuration for various data (e.g., events, command, event, alarm, scenarios, transactions, messages, and the like), and hence provide support for third party devices. The abstraction component can further facilitate: Filtering, Bridging, Routing, Propagation, Transformation and Monitoring of data exchange with third party devices. | 04-02-2009 |
