Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, since assets are only grouped based on their primary base service, assets cannot scale to secondary base services
Therefore, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the automation system is reduced

Embodiment Construction

[0009] A system for integrating assets of an automation system is provided, wherein the automation system is configured to perform a basic service. In the exemplary embodiment, the system includes a catalog of assets. Assets include the machines included in the automation system and the programming services used to support those machines. The system links assets based on common programmability and integrates assets to perform the basic services of an automated system.

[0010] In the exemplary embodiment, a standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol directory structure is extended to support resources and associated asset support programs for large-scale distributed manufacturing operations and / or automation applications. Thus, system integration is simplified. In one embodiment, all assets listed in the catalog are provided with a global namespace for communication between assets. In another embodiment, assets in the catalog are linked through common system and custom ...

Abstract

A method for integrating assets of an automated system includes defining base services of the automated system. A directory of assets within the automated system is provided. A common name space associated with each asset in the directory is also provided. Each asset in the directory is linked using the common name space. The assets are integrated by extending at least one asset to another asset to perform a base service of the automated system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to automation systems, and more particularly to catalog-based programming for automation systems. Background technique [0002] Typically, an automated system includes a number of assets for performing various essential services of the automated system. These assets are generally grouped to perform specific essential services. Typically, an asset is only used to perform its specific base service and is not extended to perform another set of base services. In some known systems, assets cannot scale because they are not linked to each other. [0003] Often, an asset that can be used for one essential service is also available for a second essential service of the automation system. Unfortunately, since assets are only grouped based on their primary base service, assets cannot be extended to secondary base services. Consequently, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the automation system is reduced. Conten...
