Systems and methods for controlling chlorinators for pools and spas are provided. A controller communicates with a processor positioned within a replaceable cell cartridge of a chlorinator, to allow for remote control and diagnosis of the chlorinator and/or cell cartridge. The cell cartridge stores, in non-volatile memory on board the cartridge, one or more parameters associated with the cartridge. The controller can obtain this information from the processor of the cell cartridge, and can use same to configure operation of the chlorinator. Information relating to remaining cell life can be updated by the controller and stored in the non-volatile memory of the cell cartridge. Electrical and software-based mechanisms are provided for ensuring operation of only compatible cell cartridges with the chlorinator. A system for remotely diagnosing errors associated with the chlorinator is also provided.

A system and method for providing a configuration for data extraction from an automation system includes a signal selection agent configured to: receive a user selection of at least one module of the automation system; generate, for display to the user, a user interface identifying one or more selectable signals associated with the selected module and displaying one or more guidance elements comprising data mined from data sources pertaining to the automation system for guiding the user in the selection of relevant signals; receive a user selection of one or more of the selectable signals; and automatically generate the configuration for data extraction on the basis of the selected signals.

Techniques to facilitate automatic importation and placement of display objects on human-machine interface (HMI) displays are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a selection of a user-defined area is received that identifies at least a portion of a piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) associated with an industrial automation environment. The P&ID is analyzed to identify objects within the user-defined area of the P&ID and determine location data for the objects identified relative to the user-defined area. HMI objects are generated on an HMI display by mapping the objects identified within the user-defined area of the P&ID onto the HMI display based on the user-defined area of the P&ID and the location data for the objects identified relative to the user-defined area.

The invention relates to a smartwatch having a transmitter/receiver unit and a display unit, wherein the smartwatch is configured for receiving diagnosis notifications of a plurality of automation technology field devices by means of the transmitter/receiver unit, for analysing the received diagnosis notifications and classifying same in predefined device statuses, in particular in device statuses according to the NAMUR recommendation, as well as for displaying the classified device statuses of the field devices by means of the display unit. The invention also relates to a method for maintaining an automation technology system, in which a plurality of field devices are integrated, by means of a smartwatch according to the invention.
