| 6535926 | Time synchronization system for industrial control network using global reference pulses Local clocks used for coordinating events in an industrial control system may be synchronized using time messages transmitted on standard communication networks. A master industrial controller incorporates a time values in a time messages transmitted to t... | 03/18/2003 |
| 6477435 | Automated programming system for industrial control using area-model A development tool for control programs for industrial controllers develops an area-model detailing equipment and phases of operation of the equipment of a controlled process. This area-model is used as a framework for integrating reusable program fragmen... | 11/05/2002 |
| 6463339 | High reliability industrial controller using tandem independent programmable gate-arrays A highly reliable industrial controller uses low complexity field programmable gate-arrays (FPGA) in lieu of standard microprocessors where each FPGA is programmed so as to provide for a different internal implementation of the control program as a set of... | 10/08/2002 |
| 6463338 | Industrial controller and network card with buffer negotiation An interface for a network communication card for industrial controllers uses a dual-port memory that may be re-partitioned by values communicated through the dual-port memory itself. A default partitioning and a non re-partitionable common area allow fle... | 10/08/2002 |
| 6459944 | Self-organizing industrial control system using a specific process to evaluate bids An industrial control system uses a number of autonomous control units, each associated with one piece of equipment in an industrial process. The autonomous control units negotiate by bidding among themselves to determine a common set of input and output ... | 10/01/2002 |
| 6425038 | Conversion of desk-top operating system for real-time control using installable interrupt service routines Run time modification of interrupt service routines in an embedded operating system installs a soft vectored interrupt service routine into the operating system kernel at the time of the kernel generation. The soft vectored interrupt service routine refer... | 07/23/2002 |
| 6412032 | Interface for industrial controller network card An interface between a network communication card and an industrial controller allows rapid asynchronous buffering using two buffers and two associated registers for each data direction. A reading of the buffers is proceeded by an attempt to copy from the... | 06/25/2002 |
| 6411857 | Redundant, multitasking industrial controllers with synchronized data tables An industrial control system employs a primary and secondary controller each having a processor and at least one I/O data table. Updating of the secondary processor's I/O data table is performed prior to the same data being transmitted to the controlled p... | 06/25/2002 |
| 6272391 | Self organizing industrial control system importing neighbor constraint ranges An industrial control system uses a number of autonomous control units, each associated with one piece of equipment in an industrial process. The autonomous control units include data indicating not only their constraints of operation but also reflecting ... | 08/07/2001 |
| 6272388 | Program structure and method for industrial control A table of sequential call statements is used to organize various program portions of the operating system of an industrial controller. This organizing structure allows troubleshooting of individual program portions of the operating system as are intimate... | 08/07/2001 |
