APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSLATING INDUSTRIAL PROCESS CONTROL AND AUTOMATION SYSTEM EVENTS INTO MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS

摘要

A method includes receiving (1002) information identifying multiple events in an industrial process control and automation system (100) and routing (1006) the events to one or more subscribers, where the one or more subscribers include a notification system (404-406). The method also includes translating (1012) the events into notifications (602) using the notification system and transmitting (1014) each notification for delivery to one or more mobile end-user devices (150). The method could further include identifying multiple rules, where each rule defines at least one condition and at least one action. Each condition is associated with at least one event, and each action is associated with information related to the at least one event. In addition, the method could include determining whether the at least one condition of each rule is satisfied based on the information identifying the multiple events, where the notifications are generated based on each rule whose at least one condition is satisfied.
