Embodiment Construction

[0023] In order to facilitate an understanding of the embodiments, principles and features of the present invention, they are hereinafter explained with reference to implementations in the illustrative embodiments. In particular, they are described in the context of systems and methods that enable artificial intelligence (AI) companions for each function block in a programmable logic controller (PLC) program without requiring changes to existing programs. AI and traditional automation come together at the programming level. An artificial intelligence (AI) companion for function blocks is available in Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programs for integrating AI into automation systems. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Companion integrates with every function block in the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) program. An intelligent programmable logic controller (PLC) is provided. Multiple function blocks and system function blocks are grouped into logical groups. The contro...

Abstract

A system and method provide an artificial intelligence (AI) partner for each functional block in a programmable logic controller (PLC) program to integrate the AI into an automation system. A plurality of function blocks and system function blocks are grouped into logical groups. The control problem is decomposed from the top layer into logical partitions as a plurality of functions programmed as functional blocks in a PLC program. Each functional block and the entire PLC program are integrated with an associated AI partner. The runtime system of the AI partner provides new runtime capabilities. A method of implementing an AI partner is provided. A method of controlling an automated process is also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the present invention generally relate to systems and methods for enabling artificial intelligence (AI) companions for each functional block in a programmable logic controller (PLC) program without changing existing programs. AI and traditional automation are combined at the programming level. Background technique [0002] Automation systems are used to control the operation of machines and other components in a systematic manner. A typical automation system often includes equipment from multiple suppliers. Each piece of equipment can use vendor-specific programming languages, runtime environments, and protocols. Traditional automation programming paradigms are not designed to take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI). Algorithms in function blocks are coded, not learned. The vast amounts of data available in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) can also be used for AI, which can ultimately improve PLC performance. [0003] Today'...
