A network switch includes a device interface configured to facilitate communication between the network switch and a plurality of building devices that serve a space, network routing circuitry configured to route network communications associated with the building devices in accordance with one or more network parameters, a control circuit configured to control the plurality of devices via the network communications to provide a plurality of space use cases for the space. and a network manager circuit configured to determine values for the one or more network parameters based on the plurality of space use cases for the space.

An electric motor-driven screwdriver includes a control circuit having a memory stored with setting data and a computing unit controlling the electric motor-driven screwdriver based on the setting data. The computing unit sets an execution order of work processes based on a pre-designated piece of order setting data, and sets, based on a next operation setting value, a next operation to be performed after completion of the final work process. The next operation setting value is selectable from among a setting value for stopping the operation of the electric motor-driven screwdriver, a setting value for repeating a series of work processes, and a setting value for shifting to a series of work processes in an execution order determined based on another piece of order setting data.

A control unit for operating an electrical machine which includes a rotor, a stator, and power electronics. The power electronics have a plurality of switching elements, by which the phases of the stator winding are connected/connectible electrically to an electrical energy store. The control unit includes first and second processing units and is configured to determine control signals for controlling the switching elements, using the processing units. The first processing unit is configured to determine a magnitude of a setpoint voltage vector for the phases based on a setpoint rotational speed of the rotor and an actual rotational speed of the rotor. The second processing unit is connected to the first processing unit so as to be able to communicate with it, and being configured to determine the control signals as a function of the magnitude of the setpoint voltage vector and an actual angle of rotation of the rotor.

A system for controlling heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) equipment of a building includes one or more processing circuits configured to generate simulated building data using a simulation model of the building, pre-train a reinforcement learning (RL) model using the simulated building data, operate the HVAC equipment of the building using the RL model, and retrain the RL model using actual building data generated responsive to operating the HVAC equipment using the RL model.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive an input indicative of a user location, perform a verification that the user location is within a determined distance from the HVAC system, and control access to system settings of the HVAC system based on the verification.

A management server receives a request to view video content; access a stream of video content corresponding to the request; access and store, in one or more databases, metadata associated with the video content, wherein the metadata includes a plurality of detections and was generated by the video gateway device based on an analysis of the video content and previously uploaded to a remote computing device; generating and causing display of a user interface that includes: the stream of the video content, a seek bar configured to be manipulated by a user so that the user can navigate through the video content, and the metadata overlaid on the seek bar such that the plurality of detections are overlaid at locations on the seek bar corresponding to when the plurality of detections were detected.

A system for controlling automation includes a machine which collects data generated by performance of an operation by the machine. A user device displays a machine control interface (MCI) corresponding to the machine. The MCI displays the collected data to a touch interface of the user device, and defines at least one touch activated user interface element (UIE) for manipulating the data. The user device can be enabled as an automation human machine interface (HMI) device for controlling an operation performed by the machine, such that a touch action applied to a UIE of the MCI controls the operation. A prerequisite condition to enabling the user device as an automation HMI device can include activation of an enabling switch selectively connected to the user device. The MCI can be stored in a memory of the enabling switch and retrieved from the enabling switch by the user device.

An industrial development hub (IDH) supports industrial development and testing capabilities that are offered as a cloud-based service. The IDH comprises an enhanced storage platform and associated design tools that serve as a repository on which customers can store control project code, device configurations, and other digital aspects of an industrial automation project. The IDH system can facilitate discovery and management of digital content associated with control systems, and can be used for system backup and restore, code conversion, and version management. The IDH also supports storage and instantiation of virtual machine images preconfigured with digital engineering applications that can be instantiated and executed remotely as part of a digital engineering services framework.

A method of configuring robot fleets with additive manufacturing capabilities includes receiving a request for a robotic fleet to perform a job and determining a job definition data structure based on the request. The job definition data structure defines a set of tasks to be performed in furtherance of the job. The method includes determining a provisioning configuration for each additive manufacturing system based on the task to which the additive manufacturing system is assigned, the set of 3D printing requirements, the printing instructions, and the status of the additive manufacturing system. The method includes provisioning the additive manufacturing system based on the provisioning configuration and a set of additive manufacturing system provisioning rules that are accessible to an intelligence layer to ensure that provisioned systems comply with the provisioning rules. The method includes deploying the robotic fleet based on the robotic fleet configuration data structure to perform the job.

A microscope control unit includes at least one connection which is connectable to one or more electrically addressable microscope components or other electrically controllable components. At least one connection parameter of the at least one connection is programmatically configurable. At least one script with script commands is provided on the microscope control unit. At least one terminal is addressable by the script commands.
