A field device includes a controller and a process communication module. The controller is configured to perform at least one operation related to process control and is also configured to perform at least one self-recovery operation relative to the field device. The process communication module is coupled to the controller and is configured to couple to a process communication segment and communicate in accordance with a process communication protocol. The controller is configured to detect an erroneous condition and selectively apply the at least one self-recovery operation in response to the detected erroneous condition.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for communicating between an operational asset and a backend network that include the actions of receiving first data from an operational asset through a first communication interface that is configured to communicate with an operational asset, and where the first data is formatted according to a first data format that is specific to the operational asset. Processing the first data according to an asset template to generate second data, where the second data includes the first data and being formatted according to a second data format that is specific to the backend network. Causing the second data to be transmitted to the backend network by a second communication interface that is configured to communicate with a backend network.

A mobile device includes a drive unit for which correspondence between a command that is input and a drive signal that is output to an operation unit is predetermined, and a controller configured to output the command to the drive unit and cause the operation unit to operate. The controller includes a storage unit storing therein a user program including script language and outputs the command in accordance with the user program.

An operation reception device (200) comprising: a display unit (101) for switching between and displaying a plurality of screens; a display control unit (102) for controlling the switching of the screens on the display unit (101) in a prescribed sequence; and a main control unit (103) for controlling the screen switching sequence. When the main control unit (103) receives a switching instruction from a first screen and a screen having an operation permission for changing the setting content of a sequence control device exists, switching to the screen having an operation permission is not carried out; instead, switching to a screen not having an operation permission is carried out.

An industrial controller that controls operation of an industrial system. The industrial controller comprises a processor and a memory storing instruction, wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform certain functions. In particular, the instructions cause the processor to communicate high speed data in a first industrial protocol between the industrial controller and a high speed device during a first frame section but not during a second frame section of a controller frame of the industrial controller and communicate linking device data in a second industrial protocol between the industrial controller and a linking device during the second frame section but not during the first frame section or during the third frame section of the controller frame.

Methods and systems are provided for a power tool in control of a vacuum. In response to activation input, the power tool controls a motor for driving power tool operation and wirelessly transmits a control signal to a vacuum. In response to receiving the control signal, the vacuum controls a motor for driving operation of the vacuum. The power tool, the vacuum, or both include a wireless communication pairing butting for paring the power tool and the vacuum. The power tool and/or the vacuum may be cordless and powered by a battery pack.
