A load control system may be configured using a design (e.g., graphical user interface) software. The design software may display icons representing fixtures (e.g., lighting fixtures) and devices (e.g., load control devices, controls, sensors, etc.) on a canvas. The design software may define relationships between the fixtures and/or devices. The design software may provide load control templates defining collections of devices, for example, for particular rooms in a building. The templates may be quickly placed on the canvas to define a particular area. Fixtures may be added to a template on the canvas and the design software may automatically create relationships between the fixtures and the devices (e.g., load control devices) of the template. In addition, the design software may automatically create relationships between the devices of the template (e.g., between controls and load control devices).

A method for calculating an optimal wheel position control angle of passenger boarding bridge automatic docking system includes collecting ranging information of a sensor to rotate the bridgehead direction via a distance measuring sensor on both sides of the bridgehead of the passenger boarding bridge, making the bridgehead parallel to the aircraft fuselage; collecting information of an aircraft door by a camera at the bridge head of the passenger boarding bridge to obtain a center position D of the aircraft door; in an ideal docking situation, the aircraft door should appear at the bridge head position as D″; the position where D″ is projected vertically onto the aircraft fuselage is D′, that is, the line segment DD′ is the horizontal distance deviation between the current passenger boarding bridge and the aircraft door, the line segment D′D″ is the distance between the current boarding bridge and the aircraft fuselage.

A substrate processing system includes: an acquiring unit configured to acquire process data of each step when each step included in a predetermined process is executed under different control conditions; an extracting unit configured to divide each step into a first section in which the process data fluctuates and a second section in which the process data is converged, and extract first data belonging to the first section and second data belonging to the second section from the process data; and a monitoring unit configured to monitor the process data by comparing one or both of an evaluation value that evaluates the first data and an evaluation value that evaluates the second data with corresponding upper and lower limit values.

The present disclosure presents techniques for improving operational efficiency of climate control systems. A climate control system may include climate control equipment, a sensor that measures temperature in a building, and a control system that controls operation of the equipment using a first temperature schedule, which associates each time step with a temperature setpoint, when the building is occupied. When not occupied, the control system determines an expected return time based on historical occupancy data associated with the building, determines the temperature setpoint associated with the expected return time, determines candidate schedules each expected to result in the inside air temperature meeting the temperature setpoint, determines efficiency metrics each associated with one of the candidates based on historical performance data resulting from previous operation of the climate control system, and controls operation of the equipment based on a second temperature schedule selected from the candidates based on associated efficiency metrics.

Methods and systems for configuring a modular building control system. An illustrative method may include entering a configuration mode in a base module and in each of the expansion modules. While in the configuration mode, the base module may collect information from each of the expansion modules. A system configuration may be created for the modular building control system based at least in part on the collected information and includes configuration parameters for the base module and each of the expansion modules. The base module may transmit to each of the expansion modules their respective configuration parameters. The base module and each of the expansion modules may install their respective configuration parameters, exit the configuration mode, and enter an operation mode. While in the operation mode, the base module and each of the expansion modules may control the modular building control system.

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.
