Title: Innovations by Christopher Hu
Introduction
Christopher Hu is an accomplished inventor based in Foxboro, MA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of industrial control systems, holding two patents that showcase his innovative approach to technology.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Disruptionless message capturing within an industrial control system." This invention focuses on capturing messages exchanged with field devices in an industrial process without disrupting the communication of those messages. A diagnostic driver embedded within a gateway device detects abnormal conditions in connections between the gateway device and the field devices. The diagnostic driver captures messages indicative of the abnormal condition without disrupting message communication. Furthermore, the driver is capable of transmitting captured messages, on demand, to a workstation computing device for diagnosis of the abnormal condition.
Another notable patent is the "Multi-protocol gateway with control in a process control system." This invention allows for controlling and communicating with separate sets of industrial process control devices via different data protocols simultaneously using a single processing device. The system utilizes redundancy and task-splitting to increase availability. An exemplary system includes a device integrator processor configured to receive and transmit electronic data via multiple protocols simultaneously. In one form, the device integrator processor includes a primary module that primarily controls communications and synchronizes itself with a shadow module of the processor. In another form, the processor includes multiple cores that each control a set of devices, implementing a redundancy scheme.
