  • Publication number: 20230259108
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving, by the computer, a request to display a process safety risk matrix associated with a process facility and displaying the process safety risk matrix. The process safety risk matrix includes a 2-dimensional representation of a plurality of risk matrix cells, each of the plurality of risk matrix cells associated with a combination of a likelihood level and a severity level. The computer implemented method includes displaying, by the computer, an indication of a hazardous process event scenario within a first cell within the process safety risk matrix, the cell location determined based on a Target Mitigated Event Likelihood (TMEL) and a Safety Severity. The computer implemented method includes displaying, by the computer, an indication of a second graphic indication on a second cell to identify a change in a hazardous scenario count associated with the second cell.

  • Patent number: 11658486
    Abstract: An energy control system (ECS) for controlling an energy storage system (ESS's) that includes energy storage devices(s) or an energy storage combination (ESDC's) including?1 of the energy storage devices and ?1 of the energy storage combinations. A power conversion system is coupled to an output of the ESDC, and a transformer is coupled to an output of the power conversion system. The ECS includes an ECS server and an ESS adapter configured for providing an interface between ECS server and the ESS. The ECS server is configured for reading status data from the ESS and submitting schedules including selected charging and discharging times to the ESS, monitoring or displaying a variance between an expected performance of the ESS based on the schedules and an actual ESS performance, and responsive to the variance being determined to be above a predetermined threshold, sending an update of the schedules to the ESS.

  • Patent number: 11044320
    Abstract: A distribution system that provides for multicast transmission of the most important data that is of highest interest and value to client applications including HMI stations, historians, trend views, alarm management functions, advanced process controls, peer-peer communications and supervisory control. A blast list containing the types of data that are to be collected is formulated and stored in a system server and sent to embedded controllers which then multicasts that data to the system server and all console stations in the system.

  • Patent number: 10878690
    Abstract: A method includes receiving information associated with one or more first alarms in a first control system and generating a graphical user interface containing information associated with a second control system. The method also includes presenting, in the graphical user interface, at least a portion of the information associated with the one or more first alarms. The method further includes receiving, from a user via the graphical user interface, an invocation of an alarm management function. In addition, the method includes performing the invoked alarm management function using at least one of the one or more first alarms. The alarm management function could include acknowledging, shelving, and/or filtering the at least one of the one or more first alarms. The first control system may not support acknowledging, shelving, and filtering of alarms, while the second control system may support acknowledging, shelving, and filtering of alarms.

  • Patent number: 10853482
    Abstract: A method includes creating, in a secure platform, multiple securely-partitioned system sandboxes under control of at least one user associated with an industrial process control and automation system. Different system sandboxes are associated with different third parties who are not owners or operators of the industrial process control and automation system. The method also includes receiving content from the third parties in the system sandboxes. The method further includes receiving from the at least one user a selective activation of at least some of the content in the system sandboxes in order to place the at least some of the content into use by the industrial process control and automation system. The content could include equipment configurations for equipment associated with the industrial process control and automation system, and the equipment configurations could include control strategies and visualizations for the equipment.

  • Patent number: 10175682
    Abstract: A method of configuring an automation control system using point configuration software. At least an extract from a control program file having program elements and program element attributes for executing in an automatic controller of the automation control system is translated into a common representation including common program element types and common attributes. Mapping template files are applied including mapping rules and mapping parameters defining how the program elements and program element attributes are mapped into at least one automation system point with point attributes, and values for each point attribute. Common program element types and/or common attributes are matched with the mapping template files according to the mapping rules to generate at least one matching program element. The matching program element is converted into an automation system point configuration (system point configuration) which is stored in persistent storage of or accessible by the automation control system.
