Abstract
The invention relates to a method of integrating at least one AI function block, which comprises artificial intelligence, into a controller for an industrial machine. In the method, for the AI function block, an AI model is selected for execution in the AI function block, the AI function block is linked in an at least partly automated manner to further function blocks of control software of the industrial machine and the AI function block is brought to execution in an at least partly automated manner, wherein the execution of the AI function block takes place by means of an IEC 61499 runtime environment.
Claims19
A method of integrating at least one AI function block,
- which comprises artificial intelligence, into a controller for an industrial machine, wherein, in the method,
- for the AI function block, an AI model is selected for execution in the AI function block,
- the AI function block is linked in an at least partly automated manner to further function blocks of control software of the industrial machine,
- the AI function block is brought to execution in an at least partly automated manner, wherein the execution of the AI function block takes place by means of an IEC 61499 runtime environment.
An industrial machine that is configured
- to enable a selection of an AI model for an AI function block, wherein the AI model is executed in the AI function block,
- to link the AI function block in an at least partly automated manner to further function blocks of control software of the industrial machine,
- to bring the AI function block to execution in an at least partly automated manner, wherein the execution of the AI function block takes place by means of an IEC 61499 runtime environment.
A non-transitory computer program product comprising commands that, on the execution of the program by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method of integrating at least one AI function block, the AI function block comprising artificial intelligence, into a controller for an industrial machine, wherein, in the method,
- for the AI function block, an AI model is selected for execution in the AI function block,
- the AI function block is linked in an at least partly automated manner to further function blocks of control software of the industrial machine,
- the AI function block is brought to execution in an at least partly automated manner, wherein the execution of the AI function block takes place by means of an IEC 61499 runtime environment.
