Material Reservation Distribution System And Method

US Patent:
7133732, Nov 7, 2006
Filed:
Dec 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/299416
Inventors:
Ralph L. Kappelhoff - Scottsdale AZ, US
Paul R. D'Mura - Glendale AZ, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
700 95, 700117, 700121, 705 22
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and methodology facilitating material-driven processing in an industrial controller environment. Various models supported by database objects are provided to automatically and dynamically map inventory systems/processes to control systems/process such as in batch or recipe operations. A material model is provided that tracks to an inventory database and includes such aspects as defining material types and containers to house such materials. An area model maps the material model to possible units and equipment modules to process the materials. These models include phased-based parameters that define amounts of material that flow into and out of a determined area for processing the materials. Before, during and/or after automated manufacturing operations, object binding operations occur between material-based servers associated with an inventory system and batch servers associated with a process-control system. Such binding includes Just-In-Time or on-demand binding at run time, and relates material requirements of a recipe (or batch) to the units and equipment that are available to produce the recipe.

Material Reservation Distribution System And Method

Tracking And Tracing Across Process Boundaries In An Industrial Automation Environment

US Patent:
7650405, Jan 19, 2010
Filed:
Sep 29, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/238606
Inventors:
Gavan W. Hood - Upper Lockyer, AU
Ralph Kappelhoff - Milwaukee WI, US
Kenwood H. Hall - Hudson OH, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH
International Classification:
G06F 15/173
US Classification:
709224, 709217, 709223, 709225
Abstract:
A system that facilitates tracking and tracing products in an industrial environment comprises a reception component that receives data indicative of location of entities within an industrial environment, wherein the data conforms to a hierarchically structured data model. A monitoring component facilitates tracking and tracing the entities across process boundaries. Tracking refers to a process of uniformly building a track of objects that are forwarded to, processed for, applied in, or disposed of usage. Similarly, tracing is the process of uniformly generating a sample of traces of objects that are forwarded to, processed for, applied in, or disposed of usage.

Hierarchically Structured Data Model For Utilization In Industrial Automation Environments

US Patent:
7672737, Mar 2, 2010
Filed:
Sep 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/240335
Inventors:
Gavan W. Hood - Upper Lockyer, AU
Ralph Kappelhoff - Milwaukee WI, US
Kenwood H. Hall - Hudson OH, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH
International Classification:
G05B 15/00
US Classification:
700 1, 700 86, 700 95
Abstract:
An industrial automation device comprises a data storage component that retains at least a portion of a schema, the schema facilitates usage of a hierarchically structured data model by the industrial automation device. A processor is communicatively coupled to the data storage component and facilitates at least one of receipt, execution, and creation of an object that conforms to the hierarchically structured data model. In another example, the industrial automation device can be employed to execute a workflow.

Distributed Database In An Industrial Automation Environment

US Patent:
7676281, Mar 9, 2010
Filed:
Sep 29, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/238537
Inventors:
Gavan W. Hood - Upper Lockyer, AU
Ralph Kappelhoff - Milwaukee WI, US
Kenwood H. Hall - Hudson OH, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH
International Classification:
G05B 11/01
US Classification:
700 20
Abstract:
A distributed database system within an industrial automation environment comprises a plurality of associated programmable logic controllers, wherein each of the programmable logic controllers includes data relating to one of a process and a device. Furthermore, the data within the plurality of programmable logic controllers can conform to a hierarchically structured data model, which, for example, can be based upon ISA S95, ISA S88, OMAC, or any suitable combination thereof. A reception component receives and services a request for data that is located within at least one of the programmable logic controllers.

Library That Includes Modifiable Industrial Automation Objects

US Patent:
7809683, Oct 5, 2010
Filed:
Sep 29, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/239567
Inventors:
Gavan W. Hood - Upper Lockyer, AU
Ralph Kappelhoff - Milwaukee WI, US
Kenwood H. Hall - Hudson OH, US
Assignee:
Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
707632, 707705, 707758
Abstract:
An industrial automation object library system comprises a data store that is accessible by way of the Internet. The data store retains an object that is executable by a programmable logic controller, wherein the object conforms to a hierarchically structured data model. A location component associated with the data store accesses the data store to locate the object upon receipt of a request for the object. In one particular example, the hierarchically structured data model can be based at least in part upon ISA S95 and/or ISA S88.
