  • Method and system for controlling an electric heater using control on energy
    Patent number: 11921526
    Abstract: A method for controlling a heated process of an electric heater includes obtaining a setpoint variable indicating a target temperature of the heater. The method includes identifying an energy profile for the heater based on the setpoint variable. The energy profile provides a defined magnitude of initial electrical energy to be applied to the heater to have a temperature of the heated process reach the target temperature. The method includes obtaining a process variable indicating a performance characteristic of the heated process. The method includes providing electrical energy to the heater based on at least one of the energy profile and the process variable.

  • Industrial control projective capacitive touch interface
    Patent number: 11388831
    Abstract: An industrial control device includes a display, a body, and a controller. The body includes a capacitive slider sensor, a graphic, and a window. The graphic overlaps the capacitive slider sensor. The window is transparent and aligned with the display to permit the display to be viewed through the window. The controller is coupled to an output of the capacitive slider sensor to receive signals from the capacitive slider sensor. The controller is coupled to the display and configured to control the display.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING INTERMEDIATE DATA TO IMPROVE SYSTEM CONTROL AND DIAGNOSTICS
    Publication number: 20220026881
    Abstract: A method of controlling a thermal system of an industrial process includes monitoring intermediate data, associating the intermediate data with correlation data, wherein the correlation data includes an internal process control input, an external heater control input, the output control, or a combination thereof. The method further includes generating a model that defines a relationship between the intermediate data and the correlation data, identifying a state of the heater system based on the model, and selectively performing a corrective action based on the identified state of the heater system.
