An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) supports collaborative tools that allow multiple designers and programmers to remotely submit design input to the same automation system project in parallel while maintaining project consistency. The industrial IDE also permits localized development of system projects, and provides an infrastructure for intelligently brokering between conflicting edits submitted to common portions of the system project.

Sensor information is received. Based at least in part on at least one state detected using the sensor information, an expected value for automatically performing an action associated with a device controlled by a device controller system is evaluated as compared to an expected value for potentially performing, subject to a user interactive qualification, the action associated with the device controlled by the device controller. It is determined that the expected value of automatically performing the action is insufficient to trigger automatically performing the action without being subject to the user interactive qualification. A confirmatory indication is identified. Based at least in part on the confirmatory indication, an instruction is sent to the device to perform the action.

A method for initialising control data for a device comprises determining whether an identification value stored in a control storage location of the device has a first value or second value. When the identification value has the first value, space is allocated in the memory for storing the control data and an address of the allocated space in memory is written to a control data pointer storage location of the device. When the identification value has the second value, the allocation of space in memory is omitted and the control data pointer storage location comprises a preset address indicative of a location for storing the control data in local storage provided within the device.

The invention provides systems and methods for generating an adaptive nonlinear controller and utilizing the adaptive nonlinear controller to regulate the operation of nonlinear process systems. In particular, a method is provided for generating a control model by defining an objective function utilizing a target function that specifies the desired response of the system and a state-space model representing the dynamics of the non-linear system. When executed by a controller the control model causes the regulated system to operate as specified by the target function and thereby produce a product that is consistent with various prescribed quality metrics.

The invention discloses a context awareness control device, system and method. The context awareness control device comprises a connection module, a sensor module, an emission control module, an information processing module and an adjustment control module. The sensor module collects environmental information and transmits the environmental information to the information processing module. The information processing module collects use information of a terminal device through the connection module. The adjustment control module makes a comparison between the function situation information and the pre-stored better environment value according to the detected currently executing function, outputs a first environment control signal according to the comparison results to adjust the working state of the terminal device and emits a second environment control signal through the emission control module to adjust the working state of the electrical equipment.
