Automated operator interface generation in a control system

摘要

System(s), device(s), and method(s) provide automated configuration of operator interface(s) in an industrial control system, the automated configuration is based at least on control logic that regulates a process and associated equipment in an industrial environment. A terminal that renders control data can acquire the control logic and associate a set of control data structures therein to one or more display objects, which can be retained in a set of libraries stored in the terminal. Based at least on the association, the terminal automatically generates a rendering project that can render an operator interface that conveys control data according to the control logic. A mapping enables association amongst a control data structure and a display object; the mapping can include relationships amongst display objects for numerous domains of industrial control. The operator interface can be refined autonomously or through external data received at the terminal and associated with predetermined event(s).

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
at least one processor configured to execute computer-executable components retained in at least one memory, the computer-executable components comprising:
a display component configured to display a human-machine interface that renders data retrieved from an industrial controller;an acquisition component configured to read a control instruction defined in an industrial control program executing on the industrial controller and to determine a location of the control instruction within the industrial control program; an association component configured to select a display object, from a set of display objects, based on mapping definition information that defines respective mappings between a set of control instructions, including the control instruction, and the set of display objects, wherein the mapping definition information defines an association between a type of the control instruction and the display object based on the location of the control instruction within the industrial control program; and a rendering constructor component configured to add the display object to the human-machine interface in response to the control instruction being read by the acquisition component based at least on the mapping definition information, wherein the human-machine interface renders control data associated with the control instruction via the display object.
