A method for configuring one or more electronic relays in an electric power distribution grid, said electronic relays being operatively associated to corresponding switching devices of said electric power distribution grid, wherein it includes the following: providing a graphic user interface on a computer display, the graphic user interface including graphic resources activatable by a user; providing first graphic resources on said graphic user interface to select a configuration graphic template, the configuration graphic template representing a corresponding control logic model for configuring the electronic relays, the control logic model including one or more logic elements configurable by means of corresponding sets of configuration values; providing second graphic resources to configure one or more configurable logic elements of a control logic model represented by the selected configuration graphic template; providing third graphic resources on the graphic user interface to associate one or more configured logic elements to a corresponding electronic relay; checking whether the electronic relays meet predefined operating conditions; if the operating conditions are met by the electronic relays, transmitting configuration information including the configuration values to the electronic relays.

Method and system for engineering with sequence libraries are provided. A first set of engineering data is defined for a first engineering project to generate a first sequence library for the first engineering project, independently of one or more lower level engineering projects for configuring one or more field control systems. The sequence library assignment process is to assign the first sequence library to the one or more lower level engineering projects simultaneously to generate one or more first assigned sequence libraries for the one or more lower level engineering projects for configuring the one or more field control systems. The parallel configuration process is to perform a parallel configuration process which configures the first sequence library for the first engineering project, while assigning the first sequence library to another one or more lower level engineering projects.

A common automation system controller configured using a graphical approach for use in a building automation system is provided. There is an increasing demand for flexible and adaptable room or building automation applications with an easy and intuitive way for application configuration. In pre-engineering as well as during installation and commissioning, the application configuration for preloaded or loadable device needs to be easily changeable and can be used for operating and/or monitoring.

Systems and methods of a Hierarchical Smart Asset Control Application development and Integrated Smart Asset Control System optimization are disclosed. In various embodiments, the system may develop a Hierarchical Asset Control Application and corresponding control hardware requirements. This can be used to create an Integrated Smart Asset Control System in order execute various processes for a set of equipment elements. The smart assets associated with the system may utilize intelligent agents to balance operational constraints and operational objects in order to determine real-time optimized operational parameters for a process and implement the appropriate controls to facilitate achieving the improved operational objectives.

A packaging system for high flexibility and speed box-last packaging comprises one or more dimensional scanning sensors that are configured to scan a group of one or more target products that are to be boxed and gather dimension information describing physical dimensions of the group of one or more target products. The system also comprises one or more packaging-production machines that are configured to generate custom-made packaging templates that conform to a pre-determined set of packaging template types. Additionally, the system comprises a packaging template buffer that comprises physically divided sections that contain multiple packaging templates selected from the pre-determined set of packaging template types that are generated by the one or more packaging-production machines. Each of the packaging templates are organized within the physically divided section based upon packaging template type.

Provided herein are system, method, and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof for seamlessly adding and removing form fields from a form. A form engine may receive a request to generate a form. The form engine may render a screen to populate the form with form fields and organize the form fields by sections. Form fields may be added to a selected section by toggling a button corresponding to a given form field, from unselected to selected. Form fields may be removed from any given section by toggling a button corresponding to a given form field from selected to unselected.

Systems and methods for facilitating add-on functions for employment with an industrial device. One system includes an electronic processor configured to detect an add-on function call from a user program executing within the industrial device. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a function name of an add-on function associated with the add-on function call. The electronic processor is also configured to provide a set of operations for executing the add-on function, based at least in part on the function name of the add-on function.

An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) provides a development framework for designing, programming, and configuring multiple aspects of an industrial automation system using a common design environment and data model. Projects creating using embodiments of the IDE system can be built on an object-based model rather than, or in addition to, a tag-based architecture. To this end, the IDE system can support the use of automation objects that serve as building blocks for this object-based development structure. These automation objects represent corresponding physical industrial assets and have associated programmatic attributes relating to those assets. Automation objects can be maintained in shared libraries that can be referenced by system projects. The IDE system can notify projects that reference these automation objects of updates to the object libraries, including edits to existing objects or addition of new objects.
