A system includes a computer processor located within a cloud system. The system receives data from a sensor associated with an industrial or home automation control application. The sensor is configured to monitor a first condition of a device. The computer processor analyzes the data, and transmits a software update or software download from the cloud system to the industrial or home automation control application based on the data analysis.

A magnetic release assembly includes a housing defining a cavity, a permanent electromagnet positioned within the cavity, and a microcontroller electronically coupled with the permanent electromagnet. The microcontroller is configured to selectively provide power to the permanent electromagnet. A timer board is in communication with the microcontroller. A power source is electronically coupled with the microcontroller, the permanent electromagnet, and the timer board. The microcontroller is configured to provide power to the permanent electromagnet in response to an alarm from the timer board.

An information network system includes a massage machine and a communication server. The massage machine contains: a treatment portion configured to treat a subject, a control unit configured to control the treatment portion, an operation unit configured to operate the treatment portion via the control unit, and a new arrival notification portion. The communication server is connected to the control unit via a communication network, the communication server is configured to emit an information related to the massage machine. The control unit is configured to cause the new arrival notification portion to issue a notification upon a receipt of the information.

A computer automatic assembly system is proposed. The computer automatic assembly system includes: a database for storing information of an assembly and mounting area of a part combined to a mainboard, and program information such as information of a BIOS, a driving driver, and an operating system, and periodically updating the corresponding information through a communication part including a wired/wireless communication network; a device digestive module for checking the part through a photographing means, moving the checked part to the assembly and mounting area of the part provided on the mainboard through the photographing means and a robot arm for transfer, assembling, and mounting the part, and then writing a driving program and circuit information of the part; and an administrator terminal for periodically upgrading or updating part information necessary for the device digestive module by a part company server through a communication network including the wired/wireless communication network.

In a method for operating a production machine or machine tool, an app having at least one virtual container and an app configuration is downloaded from a remote memory store into a memory store of the machine, and an immediate start of the downloaded app on the production machine or machine tool is automatically prevented. The app configuration of the downloaded app is then automatically modified, and identifiers included in the app configuration are automatically evaluated and compared with identifiers included in a positive list or in a positive list and a negative list. An identifier which is not contained in the positive list, or an identifier which is contained in neither the positive list nor in the negative list is automatically replaced with an automatically selected or automatically generated target expression; and the downloaded app following the modification of the app configuration is then automatically started.

This controller system includes: a program acquisition unit that acquires, by turning on the controller system, a control program from a server in which the control program is stored; a main storage device that stores the control program acquired by the program acquisition unit while electric power is supplied to the controller system; and a program execution unit that executes the control program stored in the main storage device.

The present disclosure provides a host computer, and a control system and method of a machine. The host computer includes a control unit, a service configuration unit, and a functional flow unit. The control unit is configured to control a lower level computer to execute items of a functional flow of the machine. The service configuration unit is configured with action instruction information used to execute the functional flow of the machine and configured to interact with the control unit. The functional flow unit stores items of the functional flow of the machine edited by a user and is configured to interact with the control unit. A technical solution of the host computer and the control system and method of the machine may realize an editable function of the functional flow of the machine to improve flexibility, convenience, and a degree of automation of addition/modification of the functional flow.
