Abstract: An industrial visualization system generates and delivers virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) presentations of industrial facilities to wearable appliances to facilitate remote or enhanced interaction with automation systems within the facility. VR presentations can comprise three-dimensional (3D) holographic views of a plant facility or a location within a plant facility. The system can selectively render a scaled down view that renders the facility as a 3D scale model, or as a first-person view that renders the facility as a full-scale rendition that simulates the user's presence on the plant floor. Camera icons rendered in the VR presentation can be selected to switch to a live video stream generated by 360-degree cameras within the plant. The system can also render workflow presentations that guide users through the process of correcting detected maintenance issues.

Abstract: A power device discovery and visualization system identifies and categorizes smart power and energy devices deployed within an industrial enterprise, and generates interfaces that render customized presentations of a plant's power and energy usage based on data retrieved from the discovered devices. The system also facilitates remote configuration of the discovered smart devices via interaction with a single consolidated interface that affords access to all discovered power and energy devices. The system constructs a device profile for each discovered smart device based on information retrieved from the device, and categorizes each discovered device according to device type (e.g., power meter, IED, VFD, controller, etc.). The system retrieves available historical, real-time, and/or configuration data from each discovered smart device and makes this data available for viewing or modification via the system interface, thereby unifying plantwide power and energy data into a common presentation.

Abstract: An industrial device is configured to implement a lightweight file authentication sequence that rapidly verifies the integrity of mobile code supplied to the industrial device. The industrial device generates a file authentication code (FAC), which is stored on the industrial device and only made accessible to users via a local connection to the industrial device. The device-specific file FAC is installed on the program development application used to develop or edit the mobile code to be executed on the industrial device. The development application provides the mobile code to the industrial device together with a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) generated using a retrieved copy of the FAC. The industrial device only permits execution of the mobile code if the HMAC included with the mobile code matches a locally created HMAC generated by the industrial device based on the mobile code and the device's local copy of the FAC.

Abstract: For filtering display data, a method receives reference data for an equipment instance. The method converts the reference data to display data. The method determines a user action. The method filters the display data based on the user action. The method presents the display data.

Abstract: An industrial security policy configuration system generates and implements security policies for industrial automation systems based on design data for the industrial systems generated by device manufacturers, system integrators, original equipment manufacturers, or the owners of the industrial assets during the design of the industrial systems. the collected design data to a security rule set defining device-level communication privileges. The system translates the collected design data to a security rule set defining device-level communication privileges, which are then translated to a comprehensive set of security policies customized to the requirements of the industrial systems represented by the design data. By leveraging the rich set of available design data to identify or infer security requirements and generate suitable security configurations, the system can mitigate the need to manually configure security policies based on human judgments regarding normal and abnormal network traffic.

Abstract: For emphasizing equipment based on an equipment tag, a processor receives a given equipment reference code for a given equipment instance. The processor further identifies one or more equipment tags in the image. Each equipment tag corresponds to a unique equipment reference code. The processor identifies a given equipment tag corresponding to the given equipment reference code in the image. In addition, the processor emphasizes the given equipment instance in the image presented on the display.

Abstract: Techniques for employing augmented reality or virtual reality information are presented. An information management component (IMC) of an augmented reality device (ARD) can monitor and detect user activities and conditions in area in proximity to ARD. Based on user activities and conditions, IMC can determine augmented reality information that can enhance user experience, performance of user activities, or security and safety of user. IMC can present, via an interface component of ARD, the augmented reality information to the user. The augmented reality information can relate to user location; navigation by the user; tasks to be performed by the user; product assembly; maintenance work; system or product design or configuration; remote control of assembly, maintenance, design, or configuration; environmental and/or hazardous conditions; security, identification, and authentication of users; or training the user to perform tasks. IMC can translate information from a language to a different language of the user.
