Patent number: 11256224Abstract: Systems, methods, and software to facilitate simulating machines used in industrial automation are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, motion of a solid model of a machine is analyzed to generate a motion profile of the solid model. An industrial controller system is then configured based on the motion profile of the solid model. A simulation of the machine controlled by the industrial controller system is executed, and motion of the simulation of the machine as controlled by the industrial controller system is analyzed. The motion of the simulation of the machine is then compared to the motion profile of the solid model to determine how closely the motion of the simulation of the machine as controlled by the industrial controller system matches the motion profile of the solid model.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2014Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Haithem Mansouri, Francisco Maturana, Leopoldo Paredes

Publication number: 20220027529Abstract: A track design and testing system is capable of modeling a linear synchronous motor (LSM) transport system in accordance with user design input that selects and assembles virtualized track components and stations. The system can simulate the resulting object-driven model to predict performance metrics or identify an optimal set of track design parameters that satisfy user-defined design criteria. The system can also translate the design parameters encoded in the model into an executable controller code that can be executed on an industrial controller to monitor and control the physical transport system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2020Publication date: January 27, 2022Inventors: Ashraf Zarur, Haithem Mansouri, Joachim Thomsen

Patent number: 10339164Abstract: An apparatus, system, method, and program product are disclosed for data exchange in a collaborative environment. A data module receives first data from a first application that corresponds to second data of a second application. The first data has a structured format readable by the first application, but not readable by the second application. The structured format includes a semantic language format. A conversion module converts the first data from the semantic language format to an intermediate data having a format readable by the second application. A synchronization module synchronizes the intermediate data with the second data such that changes made to the first data by the first application are replicated in the second data of the second application.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Marek Obitko, Robert Mavrov, Vaclav Jirkovsky, Danny L.
