  • Patent number: 11090809
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method, arrangement and computer program product for distributing processing for a first robot in a cell among more than one processing entities. The arrangement includes a processing entity determining unit that obtains data about current limitations in the processing environment of a prospective processing entity intended to perform a processing task for the first robot, determines, based on the processing environment limitations, whether a performance requirement will be fulfilled or not if the task is performed in the prospective processing entity, and assigns the processing task for processing in the prospective processing entity or in at least one other processing entity based on the determining of whether the performance requirement is fulfilled or not.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 23, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 17, 2021
    Assignee: ABB Schweiz AG
    Inventors: Hongyu Pei-Breivold, Kristian Sandström, Larisa Rizvanovic, Marko Lehtola, Roger Kulläng, Saad Azhar

  • Patent number: 9471052
    Abstract: A method and device of controlling an industrial process. The method includes the steps of monitoring a plurality of values of at least one physical property of the industrial process to be controlled and determining whether the respective value of the at least one physical parameter deviates from a nominal value. Further, the method includes the step of displaying on a display screen, in chronological order, current state of the at least one physical property over time, which current state reflects the deviation of the respective value from the nominal value. Finally, the method includes the steps of providing on the display screen, when a user selects one of the current states, detailed information pertaining to the selected state and controlling the industrial process on the basis of the detailed information.

  • Patent number: 9201419
    Abstract: A method of monitoring and controlling an industrial process associated with a plurality of process variables by a control system including displaying a set of process related images which are user-selected on a display device of the control system, each process related image of the set of process related images being associated with a process variable of the plurality of process variables; receiving process variable data of the plurality of process variables while the step of displaying is carried out, and when process variable data is received indicating that a process variable has a status value outside a predetermined accepted range; and displaying, on the display device, a process related image which is associated with the process variable with the status value outside the predetermined accepted range, receiving an input command for controlling the process variable, and controlling the process variable based on the input command.

  • Publication number: 20140180442
    Abstract: A method and control system for industrial systems having a display of process variables permitting prompt action if an alarm occurs. The method includes receiving status-related data pertaining to a plurality of process variables, adjusting the status data to a value outside the predefined range of values if the system state deviates from the normal; and displaying the adjusted status data as a function of time.
