Abstract: A method is provided for comparing a master gold record with a live device in an industrial automation system. The method includes receiving a master golden record for a device of a plurality of devices in the industrial automation system. The master golden record includes one or more parameter values for the device for a mode of the industrial automation system. The method also includes identifying an active mode for the industrial automation system. The method also includes responsive to a triggering of a comparison, comparing current parameter values of the device with the one or more parameter values of the master golden record for the active mode. The method also includes generating a report comprising differences between the one or more parameters values of the master golden record and the current parameter values of the device.

Abstract: A nozzle lifting assembly for an additive manufacturing system includes a base member and a lift member relatively movable with respect thereto, a first nozzle body arranged for being lifted by the lift member and a second nozzle body disposed on the base member. A wedge member is movably arranged relative to the base member and in wedging engagement with the lift member between a first and second wedge position, wherein the first and second wedge position correspond to a lowered position and a lifted position of the first nozzle body with respect to the second nozzle body, respectively.
