  • Patent number: 11347211
    Abstract: An industrial controller within an industrial automation environment is provided. The industrial controller includes a programming logic controller, configured to control an industrial device, and a predictive module, coupled with the programming logic controller. The predictive module is configured to receive configuration data from the programming logic controller, create a user-defined controller tag, and transfer the user-defined controller tag to the programming logic controller. The predictive module is also configured to receive operational data from the programming logic controller, and calculate operation monitoring data and value estimation data based on the operational data. The predictive module is further configured to write the operation monitoring data and value estimation data to the user-defined controller tag.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10764063
    Abstract: Techniques to facilitate protecting control data used in an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, an encryption key pair is generated for an industrial controller, wherein the encryption key pair comprises a public key and a private key. The private key is stored within a secure storage system of the industrial controller. Controller program content is then encrypted using the public key to generate encrypted controller content. The encrypted controller content is then provided to the industrial controller, and the industrial controller is configured to decrypt the encrypted controller content using the private key and execute the controller program content.
