Various systems and methods for implementing a software defined industrial system are described herein. For example, an orchestrated system of distributed nodes may run an application, including modules implemented on the distributed nodes. In response to a node failing, a module may be redeployed to a replacement node. In an example, self-descriptive control applications and software modules are provided in the context of orchestratable distributed systems. The self-descriptive control applications may be executed by an orchestrator or like control device and use a module manifest to generate a control system application. For example, an edge control node of the industrial system may include a system on a chip including a microcontroller (MCU) to convert IO data. The system on a chip includes a central processing unit (CPU) in an initial inactive state, which may be changed to an activated state in response an activation signal.

Various systems and methods may be used to implement a software defined industrial system. For example, an orchestrated system of distributed nodes may run an application, including modules implemented on the distributed nodes. The orchestrated system may include an orchestration server, a first node executing a first module, and a second node executing a second module. In response to the second node failing, the second module may be redeployed to a replacement node (e.g., the first node or a different node). The replacement mode may be determined by the first node or another node, for example based on connections to or from the second node.

A graph display device according to one aspect of the present invention generates a first directed graph, which contains a plurality of first nodes respectively representing device variables, edges representing the existence of a dependency relation, and a block representing a function, and a second directed graph, which contains a plurality of first nodes, edges, a block, and a plurality of second nodes arranged in the block and respectively representing function parameters. In response to an instruction from a user the display device switches between displaying the generated first directed graph and displaying the generated second directed graph.

A system for object detection of a manufactured part. The system comprises a system controller electronically coupled to an image acquisition device and delivery mechanism. An electronically stored ordered object detection map is provided which comprises predetermined detectable objects associated with the manufactured part. The ordered object detection map is generated from output created by execution of a trained object detection model and by processing such output according to predetermined calibration criteria. The system causing a visual image of the manufactured part to be captured with image data being extracted and processed to render at least one of a pass determination and a fail determination. The system being configured to process the manufactured based upon the rendered pass/fail determination.

A safety module for a programmable logic control system, wherein the safety module is designed as an assembly consisting of a plurality of modules with a plurality of function blocks connected through at least one internal bus and comprising at least one CPU and which can be connected through at least one interface to external sensors (and switches/buttons) and actuators (and optical/acoustic indicators and displays/monitors) for detecting at least one measurement signal, wherein the safety module operates in two channels and a self-test is implemented.

An augmenting controller for augmenting control of an actuator by a component controller. The actuator is operable to change an operational parameter of a component of a drilling rig. The component controller is configured for communicating control signals to the actuator to control the actuator and thereby control operation of the component. The augmenting controller is operable to augment the control signals.

A prediction control development device according to one aspect of the present invention generates a prediction model of a control amount by analyzing first time-series data of the control amount and provides the generated prediction model to a controller. The prediction control development device acquires second time-series data showing transition of a value of the control amount during prediction control using the prediction model, and evaluates prediction accuracy of the prediction model based on a difference between a prediction value by the prediction model and a value of the second time-series data. When the prediction accuracy of the prediction model is not allowable, the prediction control development device analyzes the second time-series data to newly generate a prediction model of the control amount, and provides the newly generated prediction model to the controller.
