Publication number: 20240064218Abstract: Various systems and methods for implementing a software defined industrial system are described herein. For example, an orchestrated system of distributed nodes may run an application, including modules implemented on the distributed nodes. In response to a node failing, a module may be redeployed to a replacement node. In an example, self-descriptive control applications and software modules are provided in the context of orchestratable distributed systems. The self-descriptive control applications may be executed by an orchestrator or like control device and use a module manifest to generate a control system application. For example, an edge control node of the industrial system may include a system on a chip including a microcontroller (MCU) to convert IO data. The system on a chip includes a central processing unit (CPU) in an initial inactive state, which may be changed to an activated state in response an activation signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Rita H. Wouhaybi, John Vicente, Kirk Smith, Robert Chavez, Mark Yarvis, Steven M. Brown, Jeremy Ouillette, Roderick E. Kronschnabel, Matthew J. Schneider, Chris D. Lucero, Atul N. Hatalkar, Sharad K. Garg, Casey Rathbone, Aaron R. Berck, Xubo Zhang, Ron Kuruvilla Thomas, Mandeep Shetty, Ansuya Negi

Patent number: 11902112Abstract: Systems and methods may provide for confirming, by a loader module having administrative rights with respect to a computing device, the operability of an activator module on the computing device. Additionally, the activator module may be used to manage an installation status of one or more service agents or software components on the computing device and making them persistent. In one example, confirming the operability of the activator module includes conducting a presence verification and/or authentication of the activator module, wherein a replacement activator module may be downloaded to the computing device if the presence verification and/or authentication is unsuccessful.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jiphun C. Satapathy, Sharad K. Garg, Aakash Bhumbla, Aaron R. Berck, Neena Maldikar, James R. Quaranta, Jr.

Patent number: 11637918Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for implementing a software defined industrial system. In an example, self-descriptive control applications and software modules are provided in the context of orchestratable distributed systems. The self-descriptive control applications may be executed by an orchestrator or like control device, configured to: identify available software modules adapted to perform functional operations in a control system environment; identify operational characteristics that identify characteristics of execution of the available software modules that are available to implement a control system application; select a software module for execution based on the operational configuration and the operational characteristics identified in the manifest; and cause the execution of the selected software module in the control system environment based on an application specification for the control system application.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Mark Yarvis, Rita H. Wouhaybi, Ron Kuruvilla Thomas, Casey Rathbone, Aaron R. Berck, Sharad Garg, Robert Chavez, Kirk Smith, Mandeep Shetty, Xubo Zhang, Ansuya Negi
