Abstract: A system, method, and an apparatus relating to data collection regarding valve movement over a period of time in order to determine the effects of stiction on the valve. With data collection done over a period of time, it is possible to remove dependency on a high speed method of data collection. The evaluation of the valve movement includes consideration of a manipulated variable (MV) for diagnosis, or detection, of stiction of the valve.

Abstract: A configuration system for a process control system configured to perform process control. The configuration system includes, not limited to, a) a definition module, which is stored in a memory, for a part of an industrial plant based on design data. The definition module includes, not limited to, a-1) a control logic definition file configured to define a control logic for the part, and a-2) a data definition file configured to define data relating to the defined control logic.

Abstract: A configuration system, for a process control system configured to perform process control, the configuration system includes, not limited to, a) an editor configured to perform one of generate and update one of a definition module and an application module, wherein a set of the definition module and the application module comprises control logic and design data for a part of an industrial plant. The editor includes, not limited to, a-1) a definition module generator configured to generate or update one of a definition module control logic and an application module control logic based on the definition module design data. The editor is implemented by one or more processors.

Abstract: The invention comprises a configuration system for a process control system that is configured for performing process control. The configuration system comprises a repository including at least one memory and one or more definition modules stored in the memory. Each definition module may comprise control logic for controlling an associated component. The configuration system also comprises a repository controller. The repository controller may be configured to receive user input identifying one or more properties of a specific component within the industrial system. The repository controller may additionally enable selection of a definition module from within the repository, wherein the selected definition module comprises control logic for controlling an associated component having the identified one more component properties. The invention additionally provides a method for configuring a process control system for performing process control.
