Patent number: 10747508Abstract: For function block framework generation, a method generates a function block framework for a hardware device. The function block framework includes function block framework source code and a function block framework description. The hardware device includes a logic engine and automation hardware. The function block framework presents a standard interface to a function block core executed by the logic engine. The method instantiates the function block framework and the function block core as an executable image for the hardware device. The method further configures the logic engine to execute the executable image using the function block framework description. The method executes the executable image with the logic engine.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Benfeng Tang, Tao Song, LingLai Li, Zhen Wei, Bingchao Tang, David W.

Patent number: 9535413Abstract: The present invention provides techniques for automatically binding device parameters to an input and output interface. Doing so enables dynamic parameters to be available to the core firmware engine. More specifically, there is no input and output data in the configuration software domain required for mapping the parameters. Rather, the configuration software may directly access the device parameters during the logic execution. This is achieved in a library by representing the parameter repository and the EPATH pointing to each parameter from the configuration software domain.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Harsh Shah, David W. Siegler, James Edward Joe, Qing Jia, Tao Song, Zhen Wei

Patent number: 5832195Abstract: A method and apparatus to be used with a peer-to-peer network including a plurality of separate controllers which can control each other, the method and apparatus to be used to determine when a fault conditions occurs when one controller which has controlled a different controller is rendered incapable of network communication. In the present invention, each individual controller includes a control list which tracks all of the other controllers that have controlled the individual controller. When one of the controllers on a control list is rendered incapable of communicating with the individual controller, the controller that is incapable of communicating is cleared from the control list associated with the individual controller and the tools associated with the individual controller are forced into safe fault operation until controlled by an other controller.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1996Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Allen-Bradley Company, LLCInventors: Scott D.
