Abstract: A system may include one or more drives configured to receive a first alternative current (AC) voltage from a power source and provide a second AC voltage to one or more load devices. The system may further include one or more safety relay devices configured to couple the power source to the one or more drives and a communication device, where the communication device includes a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a first dataset via an Ethernet communication protocol, where the first dataset may include safety connection data indicative of one or more safety commands for controlling one or more operations of the one or more safety relay devices. The processor may further be configured to transmit a second dataset to the one or more safety relay devices via a subnet infrastructure, where the second dataset includes the one or more safety commands.

Abstract: A system may include temperature sensors configured to measure temperatures of devices within an industrial automation system. The devices may be disposed within enclosures separate from one or more spaces of an ambient space of the industrial automation system. The system may include thermal image sensors configured to acquire thermal imagery data associated with the ambient space. The system may include a processor configured to receive a first set of temperature data acquired by the temperature sensors over a period of time. The processor may further generate a second set of temperature data representative of one or more predicted temperatures associated with one or more additional spaces of the ambient space. The temperature model may represent expected temperatures of the one or more spaces with respect to the temperatures within the enclosures. The processor may generate a heat map visualization including one or more thermal indicators representative of the predicted temperatures.

Abstract: An industrial automation component includes an electronic display that displays machine-readable indicia. The machine readable-indicia may be scanned by an image sensor. The industrial automation component also includes a processor communicatively coupled to the electronic display. The processor receives data associated with the industrial automation component and generates a first machine-readable indicia based on the data. The first machine-readable indicia may be displayed via the electronic display. The processor also receives updated data associated with the industrial automation component and generates a second machine-readable indicia based on the updated data. The second machine-readable indicia may be displayed via the electronic display.

Abstract: A multidrop system configured to be installed within a motor control center (MCC) of an industrial automation system includes a trunkline. The trunkline includes multiple multidrop make and break devices connected through a trunkline cable. Each of the multidrop make and break device includes a first network component, and a second network component. The first network component is configured to form a first subnet over the trunkline. The second network component is configured to couple a MCC withdrawable unit and form a second subnet over a branchline that connects one or more nodes within the MCC withdrawable unit. The multidrop make and break device is configured to couple the MCC withdrawable unit to, and decouple the MCC withdrawable unit from, the second network component without disrupting the first subnet.

Abstract: An operator control station of an industrial automation system includes at least one input interface to receive a user input and a communication interface to communicate with one or more devices of the industrial automation system, including a first device via an Ethernet communication protocol. The operator control station also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the communication interface. The controller performs operations including generating a signal based on the user input and the signal instructs the first device to control at least one component of the industrial automation system. The controller also performs operations including providing the signal to the communication interface for transmission to the first device via the Ethernet communication protocol.

Abstract: Embodiments of this present disclosure may include systems that perform operations including receiving a first symbol instance from an industrial automation device. The first template object instance may characterize a dataset accessible to the industrial automation device. Symbol object instances may inherit a categorization with respect to categories associated with the industrial automation device including an identity, a state, a runtime status, a maintenance status, sustainability information, or any combination thereof. The operations may include identifying a type of the industrial automation device based on the first symbol instance and generating template data based on the type of the industrial automation device and the first symbol instance. The template data may include values associated with the dataset and the categories associated with the first symbol instance. The operations may also include sending a control signal to the industrial automation device based on the template data.
