Graphical and text based co-design editor for industrial automation projects

An industrial IDE supports development of control programming using an industrial domain-specific language (DSL) that allows control programming to be written using a scripted programming language having features catered to the industrial domain. The industrial DSL can simplify and streamline development of industrial control code relative to using conventional graphics-based control programming formats such as ladder logic, since a script-based industrial DSL can be used to write programming code using fewer mouse clicks relative to traditional control programming environments. Editing tools inherent to the industrial DSL can provide dynamic programming feedback that guides the developer through the process of developing control code. A development interface of the industrial IDE can comprises two editing windows that render the control program in a graphical format and in a text-based format simultaneously, allowing the user to edit the program in either format on the same interface.

DYNAMIC API BOT FOR ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION

Techniques for implementing a dynamic API bot for robotic process automation are disclosed. In some embodiments, a computer system performs operations comprising: providing a data file having a predefined template comprising dedicated fields for an identification of an API, a type of call method, metadata identifying one or more objects, and data of the object(s); providing a low-code no-code (LCNC) development platform configured to enable a user to develop a bot by dragging and dropping application components of the bot; receiving, via the LCNC development platform, a configuration of the bot comprising a configuration of the application components of the bot and an identification of the data file; and running the bot, the bot being configured to generate a request using the data file, converting the data of the object(s) into a payload in a format required by the API based on the data file.

INTERACTIVELY BUILDING PREVIEWS OF EXTRACT, TRANSFORM, LOAD (ETL) GRAPHS USING CACHED PREVIEWS OF SUBGRAPHS

Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for executing a process flow represented by a graph or portion thereof using cached subgraphs. A first request to execute a first portion of a process flow is processed, where the first portion of the process flow is represented by a first subgraph of a graph representing the process flow and a final node of the first subgraph corresponds to a set of computer-readable instructions. The first portion of the process flow is executed such that a first output of executing the first portion of the process flow is obtained. The first subgraph is stored in association with the first output in a first cache entry of a cache. A second request to execute a second portion of the process flow is processed, where the second portion of the process flow is represented by a second subgraph of the graph. At least one cache entry for which a corresponding subgraph matches at least a portion of the second subgraph is identified in the cache, where the at least one cache entry includes the first cache entry. The first output is retrieved from the first cache entry, a node of the second subgraph to which the final node of the first subgraph is connected is identified, and the second portion of the process flow is executed by providing the first output as input to the identified node of the second subgraph without executing the set of computer-readable instructions.

METHOD FOR GENERATING SOURCE CODE
20230229403 · 2023-07-20 ·

A method for generating source code from one or more blocks of a block diagram that comprises at least two non-virtual blocks and at least one signal link between two non-virtual blocks includes: transforming the block diagram into an intermediate representation, wherein transforming the block diagram into the intermediate representation comprises transforming a first block having access to a multi-component variable; successively optimizing the intermediate representation; and translating the optimized intermediate representation into source code. Transforming the first block comprises: testing whether a block pair made up of the first block and an adjacent block comprises an equal assignment; and removing any assignments in which a reference to the same variable exists on both sides.

INTELLIGENT AND EFFICIENT PIPELINE MANAGEMENT

A pipeline management system that allows for creating and managing pipelines and pipeline execution. The system allows a user to create pipeline stages, steps for the pipeline stages, and commands for the pipeline steps. The system efficiently allows users to create and manage multiple pipelines by allowing attributes of commands, such as for example variables in the commands, to be entered at runtime. The runtime entry attributes for a pipeline make up an input set. A pipeline can be bound with one or more input sets that are used to fill or instantiate the pipeline variables at runtime.
