    Abstract: An industrial information identification and retrieval system includes: a crawler; a search engine; a result processor; and a web user interface “web UL” The crawler identifies devices and their associated Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture “OPC UA” servers within a network as identified OPC UA servers. The crawler browses the identified OPC UA servers and extracts and stores data items in a database as extracted data items. The search engine searches the extracted data items and provides search results to the result processor. The result processor determines a score for each search result. The web UI presents the search results according to the scores.

    Abstract: A method for controlling an industrial process includes providing process data of the industrial process to an active instance of a control software as input, based on this input, updating an internal state of the active instance of the control software that is characterized by a set of internal variables of this active instance; based on this updated internal state, determining an output signal and outputting this output signal to at least one piece of equipment that is configured to alter a state, and/or a behavior, of the industrial process. The method further includes providing a prioritized subset of the internal variables that characterize the state of the active instance to at least one further instance of a control software that is configured to take over control of the industrial process in case of a failure and/or malfunction of the active instance.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented update management method for managing transfer of an application state from a source node to at least one target node of a distributed control system, includes identifying a first part of the application state which can be transferred independently of a second part of the application state; determining that the first part can be transferred from the source node to the at least one target node during one execution cycle of the application; performing a first partial update by transferring the first part of the application state from the source node to the at least one target node during a first execution cycle of the application; and performing a second partial update by transferring the second part of the application state from the source node to the at least one target node during a second, subsequent execution cycle of the application.
