Patent number: 9805694Abstract: Data is formatted based at least in part upon attributes associated with such data. Data attributes can be related to a number of various factors in a data driven architecture such as the source of the data, the data subscriber and the path employed to convey the data from the source to the subscriber. In addition, data formatting can employ various levels of complexity and data presentation can vary dependent on various factors such as display device and user to which the data is presented. For example, the format of the data can refer to the size, shape, color, and graphics associated therewith.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2014Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies Inc.Inventors: David W.

Patent number: 8321591Abstract: The invention employs systems and methods to provide addressing for appropriate access to data in automation devices. Data attributes can be related to a number of various factors in a data driven architecture such as the source of the data, the data subscriber and/or the path employed to convey the data from the source to the subscriber. In addition, data attributes can refer to the format, scale, units, length, visualization and transactional capabilities of the data. The subject invention can point to the appropriate address of the requested data wherein the data can have desired attributes associated therewith. In this manner, data can be selected based on the requirements of the requestor and/or the loading demands of network communication.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2004Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David W.

Patent number: 7693585Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods that support object oriented access to information at multiple levels in a control architecture, for example. Such data access can be facilitated as a layer adjacent to or part of an MES system or as a white box cooperating to encapsulate data such as in the controller or the MES layer, for example. In addition, such object oriented data access can be built into a controller as a standard behavior of controller data types and tags of those data types. In this manner, data can be encapsulated as a data object to expose properties and/or methods related to the data utilizing a common interface with each data consumer. Thus, the data consumer can employ object oriented concepts, such as properties, methods, scope qualifiers, access qualifiers (private, protected, public enterprise), polymorphism, inheritance and the like directly with their automation system components.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2004Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael D.
