  • Publication number: 20230080182
    Abstract: A state information handling server, a process control system including such a state information handling server as well as to a method, computer program and computer program product for handling state information. The state information handling server obtains state information from user terminals of users in the process control system, where the state information of at least two users includes information about user operations in relation to objects in a process control screen, inspects the state information with regard to objects in the process control screen, which inspecting includes determining, for each user, if the corresponding user targets an object in the process control screen, and performs a user informing activity if objects in the process control screen that at least two users have targeted is the same or are linked.

  • Publication number: 20230074570
    Abstract: An industrial plant operator intervention system for use in an industrial plant includes a processing unit configured to monitor and analyze industrial plant operation data to detect an anomaly in the industrial plant operation data that warrants initiating an operator intervention, and in response to detecting the anomaly, automatically determine a user interface configuration of a user interface to be presented to a designated operator who is to perform the operator intervention. The user interface configuration is determined on the basis of technical context data, including industrial plant operation data associated with the anomaly, and on the basis of operator data pertaining to the designated operator, in such a manner that an anomaly-related and operator-specific user interface configuration is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20210406081
    Abstract: A method for detecting system problems in a distributed control system including a plurality of computational devices is suggested. The method includes:—deploying one or more software agents on one or more devices of the system;—monitoring, via the one or more software agents, a system configuration and/or a system functionality;—detecting a problem in the monitored system configuration and/or a system functionality;—adding one or more new software agents and deploying the one or more new software agents on one or more devices of the system associated with the problem;—collecting data associated with the problem, via the added software agents.

  • Patent number: 10498143
    Abstract: It is described a monitor and control system comprising: an input/output module structured to receive data/information associated with a power generation system; a human-machine interface device connected to the input/output module and configured to display a plurality of different view types representing different visualizations of the data/information and an operator interface application software module configured to run on said human-machine interface device and structured to: visualize a first view associated with a first view type by a first visualization process, and visualize a second view associated with a second view type different from the first view type by a second visualization process independent from the first process.
