A method includes determining, by a field instrument in an industrial process and control system, a Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) mode of the field instrument. The method also includes, upon a determination, by the field instrument, that the HART mode is a HART On Demand mode, listening for a HART data signal from a HART master device; when the HART data signal is detected, communicating with the HART master device according to a HART protocol; and when the HART data signal is not detected, diverting a current supply allocated for HART communication to a BLUETOOTH Low Energy (BLE) transceiver for use in BLE communication, and communicating according to a BLE protocol.

A package scanning conveyance system that integrates a first two-dimensional image with at least a second two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional point clouds to calculate or estimate a package's physical properties, and/or determine if there are two or more packages in a pile. The captured imaging data is transformed by the inventive system to provide real-time feedback to a human operator to enable the operator to maintain an understanding of the system's performance. The imaging data may also be used to perform quality-checks on other parts of the package delivery and conveyance systems and document the condition of packages that have passed through the system.

A program includes a tool program that causes an information processing apparatus to execute a process of collectively displaying, in an editable manner, parameters that are to be written to each of sensors and generating a setting file that includes the parameters, and an application program that causes a terminal device to execute a process of writing a parameter corresponding to each of the sensors included in the setting file, to each of the sensors by using short-range wireless communication.

Implementations are described herein for provisioning a device such as a DCN with configuration data for operation on a process automation network using an “out-of-band” communication channel. In various implementations, a temporary out-of-band communication channel may be established between a first and second DCNs. The out-of-band communication channel may be distinct from a process automation network through which the first DCN is to be communicatively coupled with other process automation nodes of a process automation system. Provisioning data may be transmitted from the second DCN to the first DCN over the temporary out-of-band communication channel. The provisioning data may include: information technology (IT) configuration data and operational technology (OT) configuration data. Subsequent to the transmitting, the temporary out-of-band communication channel may be closed.

The invention provides a control system for controlling an intelligent system to reduce the power consumption based on a Bluetooth device, comprising: a main control chip; the Bluetooth device connected with the main control chip; a controller connected with the Bluetooth device and the main control chip, respectively, wherein the controller is connected with a power supply and is used for controlling the on and off of the power supply circuit of the control chip; and an isolation circuit connected among the Bluetooth device, main control chip and the controller, when the controller controls the power supply circuit to be switched off, the isolation circuit enables the Bluetooth device at an enabled state. The issues, that the cost is increased due to the fact that the single-chip microcomputer is additionally arranged to realize Bluetooth wake-up and the overall power consumption of the intelligent system is high, are overcome.
