Filed:

Oct 18, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/273594

Inventors:

Joseph T. Bronikowski - New Berlin WI, US
Paul T. Robak - Milwaukee WI, US
Jason A. Weber - Milwaukee WI, US

Assignee:

Rockwell Software Inc. - Milwaukee WI

International Classification:

G05F 1942

US Classification:

700 86, 700180, 700108, 345846, 709217

Abstract:

A method and system are disclosed for creating programs executable on an industrial controller to control an industrial process. The method includes providing a plurality of templates from at least one library, where each template has at least one respective control variable. The method also includes receiving selections of at least some of the plurality of templates, and identifying at least some of the control variables as replacement fields. The method further includes creating at least one interface mapping to link to the replacement fields, where the first and second templates linked by the interface mapping form at least a portion of a compound template. The method additionally includes instantiating an object using the compound template, where the object forms at least a portion of the control program.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

G06F 9/44
G06N 5/02

US Classification:

706 47, 706 14, 717170

Abstract:

In an industrial control configuration, various instances can exist that are based upon a definition. A definition can be changed and thus it can be appropriate to alter related instances in accordance with the change. However, changing an instance can cause disruption in other actions even when the change is minor. Therefore, various standards can be used to determine if a change to an instance should be propagated automatically or at another time, such as after an operation. The determination can be based on artificial intelligence techniques, user preference, a defined rule set, user instruction, as well as other standards.

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715764, 707100, 707E17009

Abstract:

Information related to an industrial control system can be disclosed graphically on a visual display. To traverse through different system portions, an organizational hierarchy can be used to enable a user to roll down into deeper level or roll up into a higher level. A user can input a choice of a level to view and the level can be disclosed to the user, assuming that the user has appropriate authorization to view the level.

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715771

Abstract:

An industrial control configuration can be disclosed to a user as a specific representation, such as a physical layout of different units of the configuration. A user can seamlessly move between different representations, such as switching from the physical layout to a logical layout. The representations can provide real time information and disclose animations to a user that represent different states of a unit or generally of a layout.
