Abstract: A system and approach for addressing modules on a platform bus that may incorporate a master module and one or more slave modules. The platform bus may run through sub-base connectors that interlock modules together on a rail. Addressing of the modules may occur automatically and dynamically in that the master module may have a first address by default, and a first slave module adjoining the master module may be assigned a second address. A second slave module adjoining the first slave module, if there is one, may be assigned a third address. Each of the other slave modules, adjoining a preceding slave module assigned an address, may be assigned a next address after an address assigned to a preceding slave module. Addresses may be assigned in a numerical order to each module based on a physical position of the respective module on a rail.

Abstract: An integrating system incorporating a programmable logic module, input/output (I/O) modules connected to the programmable logic module, and safety device modules connected to the programmable logic module. The modules may be connected with one another with connectors on each module. The modules may talk to each other via a common communication protocol carried by wires in the connectors. The programmable logic module may monitor and/or control signals on input and output terminals of the I/O modules that are connected to the actuators and sensors in controlled equipment. The programmable logic module may control non-safety aspects of the safety devices and inputs and outputs of the safety device modules and be modeled and appear in a same context as the signals of the input and output terminals of the I/O modules. A programmable display may be incorporated by the integrating system.

Abstract: A system and approach for a programmable display. The system may incorporate a display designed to operate a combustion control mechanism, dedicated purpose devices having a status represented by a set of defined data items referred to as registers, programmable behavior logic designed by a customer, other registers created by the customer to provide data generated by the programmable behavior logic, and a standard interface for serving the other registers to the display. The standard interface may be a protocol used by a web server. The web server may receive requests for data from a client and provide responses to the requests from the client. The customer, by data from the programmable logic, may control content, appearance or behavior of one or more objects on the display. The objects may send altered values to registers for operating the combustion control mechanism.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, devices, and computer readable media for providing combustion system management information. One or more embodiments include receiving a prompt to access management information associated with a combustion system, accessing the management information associated with the combustion system in response to the prompt, and communicating the management information associated with the combustion system.
