Patent number: 11953890Abstract: Embodiments of system and methods for providing centralized management of a software defined automation (“SDA”) system are disclosed. The SDA system comprises of a collection of controller nodes and logically centralized and yet physically distributed collection of compute nodes by monitoring activities of the compute nodes. In accordance with some embodiments, one or more components of the system monitor execution, network and security environments of the system to detect an event in a first environment. In response to the detected event, at least one component in the first environment is remediated, the remediation of the first environment creating a trigger to cause remediation of at least one component in each of a second and third environments.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SASInventors: Antonio Chauvet, Philippe Wilhelm, Merrill Harriman, Eric Alfano, Alen Mehmedagic, Andrew Lee David Kling, David Doggett, Vijay Vallala

Patent number: 11579595Abstract: Embodiments of a software defined automation system that provides a reference architecture for designing, managing and maintaining a highly available, scalable and flexible automation system. In some embodiments, an SDA system can include a localized subsystem including a system controller node and multiple compute nodes. The multiple compute nodes can be communicatively coupled to the system controller node via a first communication network. The system controller node can manage the multiple compute nodes and virtualization of a control system on a compute node via the first communication network. The virtualized control system includes virtualized control system elements connected to a virtual network that is connected to a second communication network to enable the virtualized control system elements to control a physical control system element via the second communication network connected to the virtual network.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SASInventors: Antonio Chauvet, Philippe Wilhelm, Merrill Harriman, Eric Alfano, Alen Mehmedagic, Andrew Lee David Kling, David Doggett, Vijay Vallala, Philippe Nappey

Patent number: 11157434Abstract: A method for deploying a service in a cluster of Input/Output devices comprising several I/O devices comprising a container engine. The method can be performed via a container client. A stack file is obtained that identifies at least one service and specifies at least one device constraint. Then, a command is sent based on the stack file, to deploy a service on a container stack of at least one first I/O device among the IO devices of the cluster if the at least one first I/O device matches the device constraint.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SASInventors: Jean-Marie Stawikowski, Kévin Barbier, José Petit, Antonio Chauvet, Matthieu Colasante, Didier Ferry
