Patent number: 11740610Abstract: Embodiments of this present disclosure may include a handle disposed on an outer surface of a housing of electrical circuitry. The handle may provide access to at least a portion of the electrical circuitry. The handle may include a status indicator that emits light in response to a control signal from control circuitry. The status indicator may be disposed around the handle. The control circuitry may detect a state of the electrical protection circuitry. The control circuitry may also transmit the control signal to the status indicator based on the state. The control signal may control one or more properties of the light emitted by the status indicator, and thus indicate to an operator the state of the electrical circuitry.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Scott B. Lasko, Troy M. Bellows, Maciej Branicki, Claudio Di Stefano, Karen R. Hecht, Mayo D. Hemmingson, David Main-Reade, Ian Murgatroyd, Stephen Pethick, Austen K. Scudder

Patent number: 11423799Abstract: A method for generating assembly instructions may include receiving inputs from a user, such that the inputs may include an indication of components of a product package. The method may also include retrieving assembly attribute data for each component from a first storage component, such that the assembly attribute data includes information regarding compatibility properties between two or more of the plurality of components. The method may then involve retrieving model data for each component from a second storage component, such that the model data is representative of physical properties of a respective component. The method may also include generating the assembly instructions for assembling the components together based on the attribute data and the model data, such that the assembly instructions include visualizations representative of at least a portion of a process for assembling the plurality of components together. The assembly instructions are then presented via an electronic display.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Kocher, Kelly M. Kunowski, Mason Khan, James Furukawa, Troy M. Bellows, Scott B. Lasko, Mayo D. Hemmingson, Charles L. Quentin, Anthony M. Avila, Austen K. Scudder, Karen R.

Patent number: 9218920Abstract: A remote switching system for electrical switches in a cabinet provides an actuator frame and slider that may be assembled to the electrical switch to engage the switch actuator for remote control. The actuator frame includes an opening allowing insertion of a lock shank through the opening to block motion of the slider from an “off” state to an “on” state thereby allowing the actuator frame to also serve as a local lockout.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shawn D. Cloran, Edward Byaliy, Jerry M. Watkins, Scott B. Lasko, Christopher J Wieloch

Patent number: 9177732Abstract: A remote switching system for electrical switches in a cabinet provides simplified manufacture by attaching the flexible cable sheath and flexible cable to an actuator frame and slider, respectively, by means of flange elements attached to each of the sheath and cable that fit within corresponding receiving slots in the actuator frame and contained slider. A cover, which may be attached without fasteners, may then hold these flange elements within corresponding slots.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shawn D.

Patent number: 9177731Abstract: A remote switching system for electronic switches in a cabinet provides an actuator assembly communicating through a flexible cable with a door handle. The actuator assembly on the electronic switch provides a rotatably captive threaded fastener holding the sheath of the flexible cable to the actuator assembly allow ring a simple single-point tuning of the actuator operation. This tuning may be facilitated by a visual scale showing relative positions between the actuator assembly and an internal slider communicating with the operator of the electronic switch.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Shawn D.
