  • Keyboards having multiple groups of keys in the management of a process control plant
    Patent number: 7869890
    Abstract: A parallel operation keyboard (POK) which enables a user to provide multiple inputs simultaneously in managing a process control plant. A lock is provided to disable such simultaneous inputs. In an embodiment, multiple groups of keys are provided, with each group of keys being operable independently to modify the parameter value of a corresponding control loop. A network management station (NMS) and a server are designed to provide a suitable interface. In one implementation, each group of keys contains four keys respectively specifying increasing the parameter value, decreasing the parameter value, manual mode (in which the present level of the variable is controlled by the increase/decrease keys) and normal mode (in which the set point, i.e., the desired value, for the variable is controlled).

  • Simplifying connection establishment in systems accessing other systems via redundant addressable gateways
    Publication number: 20060015586
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, any of the redundant gateways selected to operate as an active gateway, is configured to be accessible by a pre-specified address. As a result, any systems communicating with other systems via a gateway may use the same pre-specified address to access the other system irrespective of which of the redundant gateways is operating as an active gateway. The implementation of systems is simplified as a result.
