CONTEXT SENSITIVE MOBILE CONTROL IN A PROCESS PLANT

摘要

A mobile device for context-sensitive operation in a process control environment, and a system including such a device, includes a first circuit for acquiring information associated with a process entity in the process control environment. The mobile device also includes a processor, communicatively coupled to the first circuit, for identifying the process entity based on the acquired information. Further, the mobile device includes a network interface, communicatively connected to the processor, for receiving work item data associated with a process entity. The work item data indicates a target function associated with the process entity. The processor triggers an event to facilitate implementing the target function associated with the process entity in response to the proximity of the mobile device to the process entity and the work item data.

1. A method for contextual operation of a mobile device in a process control environment, the method including:
acquiring at the mobile device information to identify a process entity in the process control environment; determining a proximity of the mobile device to the process entity; identifying at the mobile device work item data associated with the process entity, the work item data including information regarding a target function associated with the process entity; and automatically triggering an event at the mobile device to facilitate implementing the target function associated with the process entity in response to the acquired information and the identified work item data.
