  • Patent number: 10191477
    Abstract: A modification management system for a configuration system, includes, not limited to a comparator, a record generator and a link generator implemented in one or more processors. The comparator is configured to determine if a first modification item in a first instruction file is modified. The record generator is configured to create a first record and to store the first modification item in a first record when the first modification item is determined, by the comparator, to be modified. The link generator configured to generate a first link between the first record and the first instruction file, wherein the first instruction file is configured to define at least one modification item for the configuration system.

  • Publication number: 20160132037
    Abstract: The invention comprises a configuration system for a process control system that is configured for performing process control. The configuration system comprises a repository including at least one memory and one or more definition modules stored in the memory. Each definition module may comprise control logic for controlling an associated component. The configuration system also comprises a repository controller. The repository controller may be configured to receive user input identifying one or more properties of a specific component within the industrial system. The repository controller may additionally enable selection of a definition module from within the repository, wherein the selected definition module comprises control logic for controlling an associated component having the identified one more component properties. The invention additionally provides a method for configuring a process control system for performing process control.

  • Publication number: 20100306310
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for regulating bandwidth by regulating data transmission between a transmission station and a receiving station at an application level. By regulating bandwidth at the application level, there is no need for complicated network programming required at a low level, such as the device level, whenever changes to the bandwidth need to be made. As such, bandwidth can be easily regulated and customised without having to carry out complicated network programming.
