Abstract: A mechanisms for analyzing event based behavior of end-points of a network in an industrial system and a method performed by a control node, the method includes collecting, from the end-points, timestamped event log entries as created by the end-points within a time window. Each respective timestamped event log entry pertains to a respective event performed by one of the end-points. The method includes identifying tuples of correlated events by comparing the timestamped event log entries to each other, thereby providing a mapping between the events and those end-points where the events of each tuple of correlated events are performed.

Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for configuration of parameters for a networked device to be provisioned in a network. A method is performed by a device configuration node. The method includes obtaining a request for configuration of parameters for the networked device. The request indicates that the networked device is of a certain device type. The method includes selecting a template from a set of templates stored in a database. The template is selected based on the certain device type. The method includes providing configuration of at least a subset of the parameters for the networked device based on the template.

Abstract: A method of scheduling field devices in a wireless network of an industrial process system is provided. The method is performed in a scheduling device and includes scheduling one or more field devices on uplink resources and on downlink resources, such that, for at least one of the field devices, a periodicity of uplink resources is different than a periodicity of downlink resources.

Abstract: There is provided a method for determining passage of a portable wireless transceiver device along a constrained path. The method comprises acquiring at least one time of flight (ToF) measurement and auxiliary information, the at least one ToF measurement being measured between a portable wireless transceiver device and a single network node. The network node is mounted proximate a constrained path. The method comprises determining whether the portable wireless transceiver device has passed the network node along the constrained path or not based on the at least one ToF measurement and the auxiliary information.

Abstract: A system for setting up a wireless connection between two temporarily connected devices includes a device interconnector having a first end provided with a first wireless communication identifier and a second end provided with a second wireless communication identifier, a first device having a first interconnector mating unit, a first wireless communication unit and a first reading unit and a second device having a second interconnector mating unit, a second wireless communication unit and a second reading unit. The wireless communication units of each device is configured to receive an identifier being read by the corresponding reading unit as the device interconnector is attached to the corresponding mating unit and the wireless communication unit is configured to employ this identifier in setting up, together with the other wireless communication unit, a wireless connection between the two devices.
