Abstract: Techniques for configuring and presenting multiple languages at a user interface executing in an operating environment of a process plant include configuring, in a configuration environment, a multi-language interface object to indicate a plurality of languages that may be presented at the user interface. The multi-language interface object includes a parameter whose value is changeable, within the operating environment, to indicate a desired language that is to be presented on the user interface. A configuration of the graphical display view that references the configured multi-language interface object is downloaded into the operating environment. Thus, during runtime, changes in the language utilized at the user interface are implemented without any additional downloads from or communications with the configuration environment. Independently selectable user controls may be provided to independently control the language utilized by fixtures of the user interface and the language in which graphical display view content is presented.

Abstract: One or more computing devices obtain a source tag identifying a process control device. The computing device(s) being communicatively disconnected from the process control device 764a-d. The computing device(s) generate a system tag, wherein the system tag is derived from the source tag using a set of parsing rules 210. The generated system tag is incorporated into a control module 710B, 712B, 714B (via download, installation etc.). The computing device(s) instantiates and executes the control module whilst still disconnected from the process control device. The computing device(s) may be a field commissioning tools forming part of an asset management system (ASM), and may include laptops, handheld devices, tablets etc. The process control device may be field devices 764a-d. The source tag is a unique identifier of the field device and may be in accordance with the HART (RTM), WirelessHART (RTM), Fieldbus (RTM) or other communication protocol. The parsing of the source tag by a tag converter 200 to generate the system tag may involve truncating, deleting, adding, combining, manipulation or otherwise modifying alphabetical or numerical characters included in the source tag. The method aims to verify whether or not the commissioning of process control devices (i.e. field devices) has been successful before the devices are communicatively connected to the network (i.e. before the field devices are I/O allocated or assigned).

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for automatically distributing device identification amongst components of a process control loop in a process plant while the loop is communicatively disconnected from the plant's back-end environment or control room. A field device's identification is stored in a memory of a component of the loop (which may be the field device or a proxy) and is used for commissioning the field device. While the loop remains disconnected, the field device's identification is distributed to the memory of another component of the loop and used for commissioning a portion of the loop including the field device and the another component. Additional distribution to other components for commissioning other loop portions is possible. Distribution may be triggered by the completion of certain commissioning activities, the establishment of communicative connections between components, and/or other conditions. Other parameters and/or information descriptive of the field device may be similarly distributed.

Abstract: An I/O-abstracted configuration is defined for a field device that has not yet been assigned or allocated to communicate via a particular I/O device, and the field device (and optionally portions of the process control loop of which the field device is a part) is commissioned based on contents of its I/O-abstracted configuration. The field device's I/O-abstracted configuration is stored in an instance of a device placeholder object, which may be common to multiple types of devices and multiple types of I/O. A property of the device placeholder object may be exposed based on the value entered for another property, and the device placeholder object may store abstracted values as well as explicit or discrete values that are descriptive of the field device and its behavior. Upon I/O-assignment or allocation, values held in the device's I/O-abstracted configuration may be transferred to or otherwise synchronized with the device's as-built configuration.

Abstract: A method for presenting an operator display in accordance with a layout comprises executing an operator application on a computing device in an operating environment of a process plant. The operator application obtains a plurality of display views 852, each depicting control elements included in the operating environment of the process plant. The operator application also obtains a layout for presenting the plurality of display views, where the layout divides a user interface into one or more display regions and defines a display view type for each of the one or more display regions 854. The one or more display regions are presented according to the layout and the one or more of the display views are presented according to the display view type for each display region. The display views may be provided with an indication of a level of detail, and some of the display views may be subviews. An indication of relationships between display regions within the layout may be obtained, and the relationship may be a hierarchy where a user can make a selection to navigate through levels of the hierarchy, viewing different levels of detail 860, 862.

Abstract: A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium stores machine readable instructions optimized for a microprocessor on a mobile computing device 14. When executed by the microprocessor, the instructions cause the microprocessor to display a graphical user interface (GUI). The instructions cause the microprocessor to receive, via the GUI, a selection of one or more items to view. Each of the one or more items is related to a process control system. The instructions cause the microprocessor to transmit to a mobile server, via either the Internet 180 or a mobile telephony data connection, the selection of the one or more items. The instructions cause the microprocessor to receive from the mobile server, via either the Internet or the mobile telephony data connection, a plurality of real-time values corresponding to the selected one or more items, and to display the plurality of real-time values on the GUI. Displaying the real-time values may comprise displaying a trend graph with an indication of current and historical parameter values/set points. Receiving a selection of items to view may further comprise displaying a search field and receiving a search query.

Abstract: Data server 174 obtains one or more lists 262 including indications of requested process data parameters from mobile server 178 via a first network where the lists indicate process data 267 to be communicated from the mobile server to remote computing devices 14 via a second network. A stream of process data parameter values associated with process data parameters included in one or more configuration files 259 is received from a plurality of process controllers. The configuration files describe a configuration of the process control system. The data server identifies a subset of the received process data parameter values 265 corresponding to the requested process data parameters on the lists and communicates the identified subset of process data parameter values 266 to the mobile server via the first network.

Abstract: Techniques for synchronizing configuration changes in a process plant allow for intelligent and efficient updates to objects and related dependent objects. Additionally, techniques for synchronizing minor configuration changes in a process plant enable real-time updates to objects during run-time. Such techniques reduce the amount of downtime for online operation of the process plant and reduce the amount of information transmitted over the process control network. Each object may correspond to a process entity and dependent objects may be referenced by or may reference the object. In some cases, when an engineer modifies an object, dependent objects with respect to the modified object that have pending modifications are identified and displayed to the engineer. The engineer then selects the dependent objects to sync with the modified object and the dependent objects and modified object are synced and executed by a corresponding device in the run-time system.
