Abstract: A hydrocarbon control system includes a base device, a field device, and a mobile device. The base device includes a key generator configured to generate a temporary key. The field device is configured to restrict or allow access based on verification of a received key. The mobile device is configured to communicate with the base device to receive the temporary key when in proximity of the base device, communicate with the field device to provide the temporary key to the field device when in proximity of the field device, and exchange data with the field device in response to the field device verifying the temporary key.

Abstract: A method for determining conflicts in updates of a hydrocarbon control system includes obtaining a first configuration and a second configuration from different locations in the hydrocarbon control system. The method also includes comparing the first configuration and the second configuration to determine if differences are detected. If differences are detected, the method includes operating a display to notify a user that differences are detected, using conflict resolution techniques to automatically determine a resolved configuration, and updating a configuration of the hydrocarbon control system with the resolved configuration. If no differences are detected, the method includes operating the display to notify the user that no differences are detected and updating the configuration of the hydrocarbon control system with the first configuration or the second configuration.

Abstract: A system includes a database, a computing system that controls operations of industrial equipment, a skid computing system that is directly coupled to the industrial equipment and controls the operations of the industrial equipment, and an interface gateway system communicates with the computing system and the skid computing system. The interface gateway system retrieves identification data associated with the industrial equipment from the skid computing system, generates a signature associated with the industrial equipment based on the identification data, generates an interface that interprets data related to the industrial equipment based on the signature, stores the interface and an association with a respective signature in the database, and transmits the data and the interface to the computing system. The interface enables the computing system to display the data via a display of the computing system and adjust the operations of the industrial equipment via the skid computing system.
