Configurable safety logic solver

A system, comprising:

• a touch screen display device;
• a memory;
• an input/output (I/O) module configured to enable the system to communicate with at least one industrial device;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• generate a cause and effect visualization offline to be depicted on the touch screen display device,
• wherein the cause and effect visualization represents a cause and effect logic configured to control one or more operations of a set of industrial devices;
• detect the I/O module being communicatively coupled to the processor;
• identify the I/O module in response to detecting the I/O module being communicatively coupled to the processor;
• retrieve a profile of the I/O module from the memory comprising a plurality of profiles associated with a plurality of I/O modules, wherein each profile of the plurality of profiles comprises:
• a condition of a plurality of monitored conditions determined based on data acquired via a respective I/O module;
• and an action that the respective I/O module is configured to perform in response to the condition being present;
• wherein the condition and the action are combined to generate cause and effect logic for the I/O module;
• receive the one or more inputs via the touch screen display device, wherein the touch screen display device is configured to receive one or more inputs, the one or more inputs based on selection of the plurality of profiles comprising various I/O module representations and associated with the plurality of I/O modules such that one of the plurality of profiles can be selected and placed into the cause and effect visualization to generate the one or more inputs;
• and
• provide the inputs and cause and effect logic to an online control device;
• wherein the online control device is configured to:
• provide control signals based on the received inputs and cause and effect logic;
• generate one or more configuration settings for a cause and effect visualization depicted on the touch screen display device based on the condition and the action of the profile, wherein the one or more configuration settings are configured to control an operation of the at least one industrial device based on the condition and the action, and the cause and effect logic;
• and
• control the operation of the at least one industrial device via the I/O module based on the cause and effect logic and the one or more configuration settings.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising computer-executable instructions configured to cause a processor to:

• generate a blank cause and effect visualization offline to be depicted on a touch screen display device, wherein the cause and effect visualization represents a cause and effect logic configured to control one or more operations of a device based on a plurality of monitored conditions and a logical function that corresponds to the cause and effect logic;
• detect the I/O module being communicatively coupled to the processor;
• identify an input/output (I/O) module, wherein the identified I/O module is configured to enable the processor to communicate with the device;
• retrieve a profile of the I/O module from a memory communicatively coupled to the processor comprising a plurality of profiles associated with a plurality of I/O modules, wherein each profile of the plurality of profiles comprises:
• a condition of the plurality of monitored conditions determined based on data acquired via a respective I/O module;
• and
• an action that the respective I/O module is configured to perform in response to the condition being present;
• wherein the condition and the action are combined to generate cause and effect logic for the I/O module;
• receive the one or more inputs via the touch screen display device, wherein the touch screen display device is configured to receive one or more inputs, the one or more inputs based on selection of the plurality of profiles comprising various I/O module representations and associated with the plurality of I/O modules such that one of the plurality of profiles can be selected and placed into the cause and effect visualization to generate the one or more inputs;
• provide the one or more inputs and cause and effect logic to an online controller;
• generate, via the online controller, one or more configuration settings configured to control the one or more operations of the device based on the condition, the action, and the logical function;
• and
• control, via the online controller, the one or more operations of the device based on the cause and effect logic and the one or more configuration settings.
