Module Interface - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028003 titled 'Module Interface

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a process control system that includes field devices and a control module. The control module generates control signals to control the field devices based on internal parameters and a control strategy. The control module software interface defines a set of interface parameters linked to the internal parameters. These interface parameters can be accessed by other control modules and external applications.

• The patent application describes a process control system with field devices and a control module.
• The control module generates control signals for the field devices based on internal parameters and a control strategy.
• The control module software interface defines a set of interface parameters.
• Each interface parameter is linked to one of the internal parameters of the control module.
• The interface parameters can be accessed by other control modules and external applications.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Industrial process control systems
• Manufacturing plants
• Chemical processing plants
• Power plants

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient control of field devices in a process control plant
• Integration of control modules and external applications
• Streamlining control strategies

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved process control and efficiency
• Enhanced communication and collaboration between control modules and external applications
• Flexibility in defining and modifying control strategies

Original Abstract Submitted

a process control system includes one or more field devices positioned in a process control plant and a control module configured to generate control signals for controlling the one or more field devices. the control module may be configured to operate on one or more internal parameters to execute a control strategy. a control module software interface may be configured to define a set of interface parameters based on a strategy type associated with the control strategy of the control module. each interface parameter of the set of interface parameters may be linked to one of the one or more internal parameters of the control module. additionally, each interface parameter may be accessible by other control modules and/or other external applications.
