Patent number: 9995790Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying a health status of a contactor includes a processor coupled to a computer readable media. The processor is coupled to the contactor to instruct the contactor to open and close. A database stored in the computer readable media includes operation count variables for the contactor, closing time variables for the contactor, and health status rules for the contactor. The operation count variables and the closing time variables may be inputs to the health status rules to identify the health status of the contactor. A customization program may also be stored in the computer readable media. The customization program enables an operator to modify at least one of the operation count variables, the closing time variables, and the health status rules to affect the identified health status of the contactor.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2012Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Chao Chen, Qing Jia, Angelo R. Bortolus, F. Michael Frayne, Jeffrey David Gandier, Xiang Jing

Patent number: 9535413Abstract: The present invention provides techniques for automatically binding device parameters to an input and output interface. Doing so enables dynamic parameters to be available to the core firmware engine. More specifically, there is no input and output data in the configuration software domain required for mapping the parameters. Rather, the configuration software may directly access the device parameters during the logic execution. This is achieved in a library by representing the parameter repository and the EPATH pointing to each parameter from the configuration software domain.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Harsh Shah, David W. Siegler, James Edward Joe, Qing Jia, Tao Song, Zhen Wei

Patent number: 9134720Abstract: The present invention provides techniques for encapsulating device-level embedded logic into user-defined instructions using configuration software. More specifically, the disclosed embodiments enable add-on instructions for device configuration embedded logic. Programming interfaces specific to an application or device may be combined into a single instruction as a reusable Macro component that may be reused in the same or different applications or devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Harsh Shah, Gregory A. Majcher, Jian Feng, Qing Jia, Tao Song, Zhen Wei, James Edward Joe
