Publication number: 20240103857Abstract: An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) supports collaborative tools that allow multiple designers and programmers to remotely submit design input to the same automation system project in parallel while maintaining project consistency. The industrial IDE also permits localized development of system projects, and provides an infrastructure for intelligently brokering between conflicting edits submitted to common portions of the system project. Project edits submitted to the IDE system, both applied and unapplied, are stored as edit records, allowing edits to be selectively undone or applied either manually or as part of a rollback to a milestone version.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Andrew R Stump, Anthony Carrara, Eashwer Srinivasan, Srdjan Josipovic, Adam J Gregory, Michael J Coan

Publication number: 20240086867Abstract: A method for managing device lifecycles within an industrial automation environment includes receiving a request for lifecycle management data including a scanning configuration, producing configuration data obtained by scanning industrial devices specified by the scanning configuration, receiving lifecycle management data including a lifecycle phase for the industrial devices, generating a graphical representation of the lifecycle phase of the industrial devices, determining an identity of a replacement device for a first industrial device of the industrial devices having a predetermined lifecycle phase, generating a graphical representation of replacement information including the identity of the replacement device, and managing migration to the replacement device by initiating replacement of the first industrial device with the replacement device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Scott A. Miller, Michael J. Anthony, Adam J. Gregory, Evan J. Kausalik, Robert J. Koba, Randy Scott Oakley, JR., Beniamin J. Skubis, Rudy Zhi Yang

Patent number: 11868970Abstract: A method for managing device lifecycles within an industrial automation environment. The method includes receiving a scanning configuration and a request for lifecycle management data through a user interface, and based on the scanning configuration, scanning a plurality of industrial devices within the industrial automation environment to produce configuration data for the industrial automation environment. The method also includes transferring the configuration data and the request for lifecycle management data to a product compatibility and download center through a communication interface, receiving lifecycle management data from the product compatibility and download center through the communication interface, and displaying the lifecycle management data to a user through the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies Inc.Inventors: Scott A. Miller, Michael J. Anthony, Adam J. Gregory, Evan J. Kausalik, Robert J. Koba, Randy Scott Oakley, Jr., Beniamin J. Skubis, Rudy Zhi Yang

Patent number: 11835941Abstract: An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) provides a development framework for designing, programming, and configuring multiple aspects of an industrial automation system using a common design environment and data model. Projects creating using embodiments of the IDE system can be built on an object-based model rather than, or in addition to, a tag-based architecture. To this end, the IDE system can support the use of automation objects that serve as building blocks for this object-based development structure. These automation objects represent corresponding physical industrial assets and have associated programmatic attributes relating to those assets, including data logging and device configuration parameters. Functional relationships between automation objects can be defined to yield object hierarchies, and object attributes can be propagated across objects up and down the hierarchy.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andrew R. Stump, Anthony Carrara, Adam J Gregory, Lorenzo Majewski, Fabio Malaspina, Eashwer Srinivasan, Srdjan Josipovic, Christopher Edward Stanek, Michael J Coan
