The teaching equipment of electromechanical system provided by the present invention is used to connect an emergency stop loop of an electromechanical equipment, including a multi-stage key switch, an enabling switch and a safety control device. The multi-stage key switch is used to switch between a first mode and a second mode. The multi-stage key switch generates a switching signal during switching. The enabling switch is connected to the emergency stop loop. The safety control device is used to receive the switching signal. The safety control device includes a transient emergency stop circuit and a disconnection loop time. The safety control device triggers the emergency stop loop to enter the emergency stop state according to the switching signal. The emergency stop state includes that the transient emergency stop circuit interrupts the emergency stop loop until the disconnection loop time is up.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXPLAINING OPERATIONAL CHANGES IN TERMS OF DESIGN VARIABLES IN CONTROL CODE FOR CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS

Complexities arising from interaction between multiple inter-connected components in an autonomous cyber physical system can potentially result in differences in intended and observed operations of a CPS. To perform fault analysis of a CPS it is imperative to explain this discrepancy in terms of the components of CPS control code. A system estimates a “mined” hybrid system representation of a CPS based on observed input/output traces and extracts a state machine representation of the CPS control code. The system compares the “mined” hybrid system representation with the extracted state machine representation simplification of the CPS code to identify discrepancies between expected and observed operation of the CPS. The system explains discrepancies in terms of call conditions as binary or unary operations on input and output variables and status of function call arguments.

Integrated behavior-based infrastructure command validation

A cybersecurity infrastructure command validation system is provided herein for validating asset commands issued within an infrastructure network. The cybersecurity infrastructure command validation system can be integrated into an infrastructure network to monitor and validate infrastructure asset commands in real-time or while the infrastructure network is active. The cybersecurity infrastructure command validation system can receive or intercept commands issued by asset controllers. The cybersecurity infrastructure command validation system can validate the commands based on a command validation model. The command validation model can represent normal operating behavior of the infrastructure network. The cybersecurity infrastructure command validation system can provide valid commands to the intended infrastructure asset, or can reject invalid commands. The cybersecurity infrastructure command validation system can store validation results for use in updating the command validation model. The cybersecurity infrastructure command validation system can flag or otherwise warn the infrastructure network or administrators of invalid commands.

Methods to generate a wiring schema

Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating a wiring schema with more than one safety device sharing at least one test signal through one or more external terminal blocks when the number of terminals required by safety devices exceeds the number of available terminals of a safety controller. In an illustrative example, the method may include determining a total number of terminals A of safety devices to be connected to a safety evaluation device having a number of terminals B. If A is greater than B, the method may then include generating a wiring schema that one or more external terminal blocks may show indicia of electrical connections between an identified set of safety devices and a shared terminal of the safety evaluation device associated with that set. Various embodiments may advantageously expand a number of devices to be connected to the safety evaluation device.
