  • Publication number: 20130275856
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for providing data regarding the operation of a control system. A Web server module is provided that is electrically connected to a control system controller. The Web server module contains a memory operative to store a non-markup language Web site database that completely defines a Web site for providing information regarding control system. A Web server module configuration application is also provided that receives user input to create the Web site database. The Web site database is transmitted to the Web server module from the Web site configuration application. When a request is received at the Web server module for a Web page, the Web server module utilizes the Web site database to dynamically generate the requested Web page.

  • Patent number: 8290030
    Abstract: A micro-controller to perform the FSK (HART) modem functions as well as communications and control functions in an isolated channel implementation is described. In one embodiment, the micro-controller comprises: a processor, an analog-to-digital converter configured to transform received analog signals into digital values at a predetermined digital sample rate; and a memory unit containing a set of computer-executable instructions that, when executed on the processor, provide a built-in FSK bi-directional modem function that converts the received digital values into binary signals. The FSK (HART) demodulation function is performed by the micro-controller with the built-in FSK modem function in three sequential phases implemented in computer code: (1) zero crossing and amplitude detection; (2) bit stream and timing generation, and (3) character generation and bit synchronization.
