Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for generating one or more personalized alarm notifications in an industrial environment. In an implementation, including a storage device and a processing system coupled together, with a mobile application stored on the storage device and having program instructions that, when executed by the processing system, direct the processing system render a configuration module through which to receive user input specifying notification criteria related to alarms in an industrial process environment, upload the notification criteria to an alarm service that receives the alarms from the industrial process environment, receive a notification from the alarm service associated with one or more of the alarms that satisfy the notification criteria, display the notification in a notification module, and in response to a user selection of the notification, download the one or more alarms.

System and method for personalized alarm notifications in an industrial automation environment

Techniques to facilitate communication between users in an industrial application associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the industrial application is displayed on a display system of the computing system. The computing system engages in a peer-to-peer communication session with a remote computing system, wherein the peer-to-peer communication session is displayed within the GUI of the industrial application. Industrial data associated with the industrial application is displayed within the peer-to-peer communication session.

Device-to-device communication in an industrial automation environment

Techniques to facilitate modular deployment for an application associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, module availability information is received for the application transmitted from an application module registry server. The module availability information for the application is displayed, and a selection of module data to install into the application is received, which is selected from the module availability information for the application. Responsive to the selection of the module data, the module data is retrieved from the application module registry server, and the module data is installed into the application.

Application module deployment

The subject invention relates to systems and methods that generate modules profiles for industrial control modules (e.g., I/O, scanners, adapters . . . ). A module profile generally includes a set of components, interfaces and/or plug-ins that determine possible configurations for a module. Such entities are packaged in an XML based format to provide a dynamic module profile, wherein a definition type can be dynamically changed. Development and/or configuration of a module can be achieved through an industrial software development environment via a graphical hierarchical representation of configuration options defined in the module profile. In addition, the module profile provides for separately installable/release independent utilization via XML and COM based interfaces, wherein an end-user does not have to wait for a new software release in order to add a new module.
