For device configuration and monitoring, a processor receives configuration settings from an electronic device via the electronic device interface. The processor converts the configuration settings to hardware settings for a target device. The processor communicates the hardware settings to the target device via a target device interface.

Adapter for device configuration and monitoring

A system for performing industrial automation control may include an audio device that receives audio data from an element in an industrial automation system. The audio device may determine orientation data based on the audio data. In addition, the audio device may determine an automation command to control a machine in the industrial automation system based on the audio data and the orientation data. After determining the automation command, the audio device may implement a first control action for the machine based at least in part on the automation command, where the first control action causes the machine to adjust an operation.

Audio recognition-based industrial automation control

An in-line sound module for a modular stack light system provides electrical and mechanical connectors to allow it to be placed anywhere in the stack. Axial orientation of the audio transducer and a flexible jumpering system allow preservation of central connectors between modules. In-line configuration permits multiple sound modules to be used in a stack light and to be teamed with different beacon modules. In one embodiment the in-line sound module may also include lamps to provide beacon functionality.
