Abstract
Project format, suitable to define functions and/or characteristics of an operator interface device or of a PLC of an operating machine, more generally of an industrial device. The project format comprises a base layer and a plurality of additional layers disposed in order on the base layer from the oldest to the newest.
Claims18
A programmable device, comprising an operator interface stored in a memory for operating an industrial machine, wherein the programmable device is configured to:
- retrieve a project program from the memory, wherein the project program corresponds to a project format, wherein the project format comprises:
- a base layer configured to control a first set of functionalities of the operator interface;
- and
- a plurality of additional layers, wherein the plurality of additional layers is disposed in a chronological order on the base layer, and wherein each additional layer of the plurality of additional layers is configured to be created dynamically at runtime during execution of the project program;
- execute the project program;
- complete execution of the project program;
- and
- re-execute the project program, wherein the plurality of additional layers is configured to be dynamically modified at runtime during the re-execution of the project program.
5 more elements
A system for programming a control system for operating an industrial machine, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory having stored therein computer executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- retrieve a project program from a storage, wherein the project program corresponds to a project format, wherein the project format comprises:
- a base layer configured to control a first set of functionalities of an operator interface;
- and
- a plurality of additional layers, wherein the plurality of additional layers is disposed in a chronological order on the base layer, and wherein each additional layer of the plurality of additional layers is configured to be created dynamically at runtime during execution of the project program;
- execute the project program;
- complete execution of the project program;
- and
- re-execute the project program, wherein the plurality of additional layers is configured to be dynamically modified at runtime during the re-execution of the project program.
8 more elements
A method, comprising:
- retrieving, via a processor, a project program from a storage, wherein the project program corresponds to a project format, wherein the project format comprises:
- a base layer configured to control a first set of functionalities of an operator interface;
- and
- a plurality of additional layers, wherein the plurality of additional layers is disposed in a chronological order on the base layer, and wherein each additional layer of the plurality of additional layers is configured to be created dynamically at runtime during execution of the project program;
- and
- executing, via the processor, the project program;
- completing, via the processor, execution of the project program;
- and
- re-executing, via the processor, the project program, wherein the plurality of additional layers is configured to be dynamically modified at runtime during the re-execution of the project program.
