Patent number: 10360316Abstract: Methods and systems for creating and running and industrial control system simulation are described herein. The simulation may include animation of a complex machine linked with the industrial control device controlling the complex machine. The simulation may also include links to the physical I/O and other modules of the industrial controller to enhance the functionality of the simulation. This may increase the likelihood that the timing and functionality of the simulation may be more like real-time operation of the industrial control system. This may enhance the system design and save time of system design and start-up and troubleshooting of the operational industrial control system.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Francisco Maturana, Leopoldo Paredes, Axel Rodriguez

Publication number: 20180129191Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for generating one or more machine dashboards. In an implementation, a computing system is directed to receive a set of machine data from a gateway device, the machine data comprising operation data of an industrial automation machine controlled by a controller of an industrial automation environment. The set of machine data conforms to a predefined data format and comprises machine state information and ideal production information. The program instructions also direct the computing system to generate metrics data based on the machine data, store the metrics data in a computer readable storage medium, generate a data dashboard based on the stored metrics data, and deliver the data dashboard to a display device of a device configured to communicate with the computing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Inventors: Axel Rodriguez, Daniel B. Seger, Michael J. Pantaleano, Todd M. Smith

Patent number: 9760077Abstract: Content management includes populating a library with modular objects and metadata associated with the modular objects. In response to a query, the library can be searched based in part on the metadata. The query can relate to implementation of an industrial process. One or more modular objects in the library can be identified as satisfying the query. A result of the query can be output and the output can include the identified modular objects and the respective metadata associated with the identified modular objects. The metadata can be anything known about the object that might not be accessible at runtime control.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Norman Weatherhead, Andrew R. Stump, Haithem Mansouri, Axel Rodriguez, Joachim Thomsen

Patent number: 9311055Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods and apparatuses that can provide a holistic, bottom-up approach to facilitate the design of objects (e.g., modular objects that can facilitate industrial automation applications). The design approach includes selection of an object from a library of a plurality of objects; filtration of functionalities of the object based on a workflow of an application; and display of the object for customization of the object for the application with the filtered functionalities masked.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2014Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Norman Weatherhead, Andrew R.
