  • Dynamic views in a modeling of an automation system
    Patent number: 8700192
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dynamic view in a modeling of an automation system. A first portion of the model may be described in a first sequence description and a second portion of the model may be described in a second sequence description. The sequence descriptions are linked together. In one embodiment, the links are visually provided.

  • Providing a Proxy Step in a Model of an Automation System
    Publication number: 20120113134
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes the insertion of proxy steps in a model of on automation system. A location is identified to insert the proxy step. The proxy step is inserted at the location. In one aspect an icon is displayed where a proxy step may be inserted, in which case the icon is replaced by the proxy step. A programmable logic controller may be programmed based on the model.

  • Output Signal Behavior for a PLC in an Automation System
    Publication number: 20120041743
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes output signal behavior for a programmable logic controller. The output signal behavior may be modeled in an electrical sequence flow of an automation system. The modeling including a visual representation of the output signal behavior. After the modeling, at least one programmable logic controller of an automation system may be programmed based on the model.

  • Alternate Sequence Descriptions For Producing Alternate Execution Paths In An Automation System
    Publication number: 20120038650
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides alternative paths of execution in an automation system. In one aspect, a sequence flow of sequence elements are displayed from which an alternative section is identified and an alternate path is created within When programming the at least one PLC in an automation system, each of the paths provides a different execution path for the at least one PLC in an automation system.

  • Monitoring An Automation System
    Publication number: 20100268521
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a monitoring of an automation system. The automation is monitored using the modeling information in which a runtime software was created to control the automation system. In one embodiment, the automation system is online. In a further embodiment the automation system is offline. Controls of the monitoring, such as stop, start, pause, and playback may be provided.
