Automatic selective control valve (SVC) configuration detection, and operation assignment, directionality confirmation, and calibration for towable implements towable by work vehicles
Systems and methods provide automatic assignment of control of a plurality of hydraulic circuits of an associated work vehicle to a plurality of operation systems of an implement. A hydraulic circuit assignment control unit includes a processor, a memory device, logic stored in the memory device, and a communication circuit operatively coupled with the processor. The processor executes the logic to associate an activation of a first hydraulic circuit of the plurality of hydraulic circuits of the associated work vehicle with a physical exercise of an operation system of the plurality of operation systems of the associated implement, and generates pairing assignment data representative of the association of the activated first hydraulic circuit with the physical exercise of the operation system of the implement. The logic generates directionality confirmation and calibration data that is communicated to the plurality of operation systems with the pairing assignment data.
Dynamically extensible control system
The systems and methods described provide improved process control operating range and capabilities and integrate process control monitoring and management with broader process automation (PA) systems process management, extending the real-time operation and control of a process control system to process handling of a PA system, and extending PA-style process management by adding real-time process controls and monitoring, and adding new functionality by permitting management of these processes to externally defined completion goals. This combination provides new functionality in dynamically determined process flexibility, extended operating range and extended process recipe definition capabilities for process control systems using this technology, and provides improved error recovery and exception handling of traditional PA systems.

SCALABLE INDUSTRIAL ANALYTICS PLATFORM
A scalable industrial data ingestion and analysis architecture integrates and collects data from multiple diverse sources at one or more industrial facilities. Data sources can include plant-level industrial devices and higher-level business systems. The data can be integrated and collected from multiple sources at an on-premise edge or gateway device, which sends the data to event queues on the cloud platform. The data queues orchestrate and store the data on cloud storage, and an analytics layer performs business analytics or other types of analysis on the stored data to produce various outcomes. Similar analytic platforms can also be implemented at the device level, and analytic functions can be scaled between the device level and higher levels in accordance with the scope of a given analytic function.

SUPERVISORY SYSTEM FOR MONITORING VARIABLES OF A PROCESS PLANT
The present invention refers to an ECOSCEL supervisory system with application in the E&P area, particularly in the control rooms of offshore production platforms, or in onshore plants, aiming to allow a summary of the process in only two screens, in which all the most important variables used are concentrated. The flexibility of inserting important variables and notifications allows, at any time, a rapid update of the operational demands of the control room administrators. With the visual organization of the ECOSCEL supervisor, the operator of control room can immediately perceive a variable outside the range, in time to intervene with appropriate control actions to prevent (shutdown) of a piece of equipment, system or process.
