  • Patent number: 9241007
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program are provided for providing a vulnerability assessment of a network of industrial automation devices. A user interface that enables a user to select an IP address range and a plurality of industrial automation protocols is provided. The system attempts to establish a communication session with each device within the selected IP address range using each of the selected industrial automation protocols. If a communication session is established with a device, the system attempts to read device information. If device information can be read, the system determines a threat level associated with the device using the device information. The system then provides a vulnerability assessment to the user, identifying each device with which a communication session was established and the industrial automation protocol(s) with which the communication session was established and any threat level determined for the device.

  • Patent number: 9170579
    Abstract: A digital energy system monitors and controls a plurality of industrial energy devices. The system includes a server and one or more interface devices coupled to the industrial energy devices. Each of the interface devices has a dynamically configurable runtime environment. The server sends configuration data to each of interface devices. The configuration data includes variable definitions that reference specific registers on the industrial energy devices. The server monitors the industrial energy devices by obtaining values for one or more of the variables set forth in the variable definitions. To control an industrial energy device, the server sends a write request for the industrial energy device to the interface device with a value for a defined variable in the device definition for the industrial energy device.
