Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a processor that: acquires, from a device for an operation of a plant, data that is related to the operation of the plant and to which one of pieces of attribute information indicating a state of the device has been assigned; classifies the acquired data into one of the pieces of attribute information based on the attribute information assigned to the acquired data; and operates the plant by using the data classified into one of the pieces of attribute information.

Abstract: A CI server 10 detects an event occurring in a device used for a plant operation, searches topology data for a device having a relationship with a device in which the event has been detected, and outputs a device obtained as a search result. The topology data includes a connection form between devices having a specific relationship.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a processor that: acquires, from a device for an operation of a plant, data related to the operation of the plant; assigns attribute information indicating a state of the device to the acquired data; and operates the plant by using the data to which the attribute information is assigned.

Abstract: A CI server 10 includes an acquisition unit that acquires first information from a plant 5 and acquires second information from a source other than the plant 5, a determination unit that determines a setting value of the plant 5 and a first condition for reflecting the setting value in the plant 5 based on the first information and the second information, and a transmission unit that transmits the setting value and the first condition to the plant 5. The plant 5 operates based on the setting value and the first condition.

Abstract: Method and system for engineering with sequence libraries are provided. A first set of engineering data is defined for a first engineering project to generate a first sequence library for the first engineering project, independently of one or more lower level engineering projects for configuring one or more field control systems. The sequence library assignment process is to assign the first sequence library to the one or more lower level engineering projects simultaneously to generate one or more first assigned sequence libraries for the one or more lower level engineering projects for configuring the one or more field control systems. The parallel configuration process is to perform a parallel configuration process which configures the first sequence library for the first engineering project, while assigning the first sequence library to another one or more lower level engineering projects.

Abstract: An engineering support system that supports engineering of a process control system, includes: a storage; and a processor connected to the storage and that: transforms design drawings into semantic models and outputs the semantic models to the storage; and generates a combined semantic model by combining the semantic models based on a degree of similarity among the semantic models and outputs the combined semantic model to the storage, wherein each of the semantic models is expressed by first information indicating elements included in the design drawings and second information indicating a relationship between the elements.

Abstract: An industrial plant module-based engineering system includes a group module library navigator that contains: a plurality of group class modules and a respective plurality of child class modules under an associated group class module of the plurality of group class modules. A group module instantiation engine is configured to instantiate the group class module with reflecting a hierarchy of the group class modules to generate, in an application structure navigator, a group application module (group APM) and a hierarchy of the group application module (group APM) from the group class module, and to instantiate the child class module to generate, in the application structure navigator, a child application module (child APM) from the child class module. The group module update engine is configured to update the allocation of each group class module and a respective topology of the complex loops of each group class module.
