  • Patent number: 9678628
    Abstract: A method for generating control-code, where at least one function-block and/or function-block-connection is specified.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2017
    Assignee: ABB Schweiz AG

  • Patent number: 9411333
    Abstract: A method in an industrial safety system for controlling a process or equipment, which industrial safety system includes components with safety devices. The safety system enables signals to be generated as a result of an event or alarm, where the method includes creating an automated link between the event or alarm and an effect or an action to be taken upon receipt of the event or alarm signal due to the event. The method includes configuring one or more links between the event and the input, thus forming a cause and effect matrix, and also generating a control code using the cause and effect matrix for subsequent download of the control code to at least one process controller whereby a control signal is subsequently generated by at least one safety controller to initiate the action or effect.

  • Patent number: 9367064
    Abstract: A method in an industrial safety system for controlling a process or equipment. An industrial safety system comprises components with safety devices wherein the safety system enables signals to be generated as a result of an event or alarm. The method and system uses a cause and effect matrix with automated links between each event or alarm and an effect or an action to be taken upon receipt of the event or alarm signal due to the event. In an online view of the improved cause and effect matrix, at least one effect cell of the cause and effect matrix is arranged with a first executable link for a device represented by the at least one effect cell.

  • Patent number: 7447702
    Abstract: A system and a method for a structurally decoupled exchange of objects deposited in variable object-oriented data structures is performed. In a first tool, at least one first object-oriented data structure is deposited and for each object coming from the first tool, of the first data structure, one unambiguous identification mark is allocated. In a second tool, at least one second object-oriented data structure is deposited and for each object, of the second data structure, the unambiguous identification mark of the associated partner object and at least one path information item over the hierarchical position of the associated partner object with the hierarchical position of the object of the second data structure from the first data structure is allocated. A module for comparing the structures taking into consideration the identification marks and path information, is provided, for determining the differences of the structures.
