A method and device for aggregate point-solution mapping is disclosed. The aggregate point-solution mapping includes accessing a plurality of system data types for an assembly operation. For each of the plurality of system data types, a functional location is determined that relates to the assembly operation, and correlating the functional location to a layout mapping for the assembly operation. Each of the plurality of system data types are compared with a respective data type threshold to produce a status result. Upon an unfavorable comparison, visual indicator data is generated for the status result, and presented for display via the layout mapping at the functional location.

An engineering apparatus (10) according to the present disclosure generates generating executable code, which causes target hardware (20) to operate, from a control application. The engineering apparatus (10) includes an algorithm converter (102) that converts control logic included in the control application into control logic code, a type management unit (103) that outputs a type definition code corresponding to a data block structure of data held by a function block included in the control application, an instance management unit (104) that outputs a memory allocation code that allocates an instance of the function block to memory, and a build controller (104) that generates the executable code based on the control logic code, the type definition code, and the memory allocation code. Executable code for execution by target hardware is debugged while the executable code is in the form of a control application before conversion to a high-level language.

A portion of executable code generated from a general-purpose high-level language can be changed easily while the executable code is running. An engineering apparatus (10) of the present disclosure includes an instance management unit (103) and a compiler/linker (104). When a control application is edited while the engineering apparatus (10) and target hardware (20) are connected online, the instance management unit (103) generates a list for control application switching and a program for control application switching. The list and the program are generated from the control application and expressed in a second programming language. The compiler/linker (104) generates executable code based on the list, the program, and a control service program. When the executable code is downloaded onto the target hardware (20), the control service program causes the program for control application switching to be executed on the target hardware (20).

The present disclosure relates to a method of managing and updating two different versions of software, and more particularly, to an integrated management and update method of software including integrating software of a DC-DC converter and a battery management system (BMS) installed in residential Energy Storage System (ESS) to generate and manage one integrated management package, and sequentially executing a software update procedure of the DC-DC converter and the BMS in the integrated management package.

Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure pertain to a system that includes a high-level controller coupled to a low-level controller in an arrangement that allows the high-level controller to cooperate with the low-level controller for controlling a power generation unit. The high-level controller generates supplementary signals and/or supplementary code that is provided to a surrogate controller. The surrogate controller uses the supplementary signals and/or supplementary code to generate control software that is provided to the low-level controller for controlling certain operational aspects of the power generation unit that cannot be independently controlled by the low-level controller. If the high-level controller is placed in an independent mode of operation for any reason, the surrogate controller continues to cooperate with the low-level controller for controlling various operations of the power generation unit that were being controlled by the low-level controller prior to the high-level controller entering the independent mode of operation.

An engineering system (200) includes a cloud. The cloud includes an engineering tool (211) and a virtual device (212). The engineering tool (211) is configured to create and debug software for operating a control device (201) that controls a field device (205) installed in a plant. The virtual device (212) is configured to simulate an operation state of the control device (201) in accordance with the software and with simulated input or input to the control device (201). The engineering tool (211) debugs the software based on an operation result of the virtual device (212) and on output from the control device (201) or the simulated input.
