Aspects of the disclosure relate to computer hardware and software for managing a field device (e.g., a transmitter, an actuator, a valve, a switch, a sensor, a power supply, a meter, or the like, used in one or more pieces of equipment that process one or more input chemicals to create one or more products in a chemical plant, a petrochemical plant, a refinery, or the like) by using an interactive automation/self-learning program module installed in a computing device (e.g., a mobile device). Some aspects of the disclosure provide techniques that may enable a computing device to connect to a field device; automatically identify the field device; provide guidance to manage the connected field device; receive input corresponding to the guidance; and/or manage the field device based on the input.

Interactive profile-based self-learning application for smart field devices

A method includes determining, by a field instrument in an industrial process and control system, a Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) mode of the field instrument. The method also includes, upon a determination, by the field instrument, that the HART mode is a HART On Demand mode, listening for a HART data signal from a HART master device; when the HART data signal is detected, communicating with the HART master device according to a HART protocol; and when the HART data signal is not detected, diverting a current supply allocated for HART communication to a BLUETOOTH Low Energy (BLE) transceiver for use in BLE communication, and communicating according to a BLE protocol.

System and method for improved power utilization in hart field instrument transmitters to support bluetooth low energy

A method and apparatus for managing a field device on a network can involve detecting, at a processing device, a connection of the field device in an industrial process control and automation system, receiving data, from the field device, including payload information related to the field device in the industrial process control and automation system, determining, at the processing device, whether the field device uses a specific protocol based on the data, and responsive to determining that the field device uses the specific protocol, generating, at the processing device, a soft modem instance. The method and apparatus can also involve termination of soft modem instance if the field device becomes disconnected. The method and apparatus can also involve demodulating and extracting, using the soft modem instance, the payload information from the data.

System and method for dynamically scalable soft hart modems

A method includes obtaining information defining a diagram that contains a diagram element graphically representing a component of an industrial process control and automation system. The method also includes generating a graph representing the diagram element by identifying reference points in the diagram element, identifying at least one direction of each of multiple lines in the diagram element, and forming the graph using the at least one direction of each line and the reference points. The method further includes comparing the graph of the diagram element to one or more graphs of one or more application engineering elements. In addition, the method includes generating a meta file identifying a position of the diagram element in the diagram and the application engineering element that most closely matches the diagram element.

Method and apparatus for converting diagrams into application engineering elements

An apparatus includes a memory element and a processing device. The memory element is configured to store a plurality of configurations for different sensors in an industrial process and control system. The processing device is configured to identify at least one wired connection to a sensor in the industrial process and control system. The processing device is also configured to detect a type of the sensor based on the at least one wired connection. The processing device is also configured to identify a configuration of the plurality of configurations based on the type of the sensor.

System and method to auto-configure a transmitter for a sensor

A system includes a marshalling cabinet, a plurality of junction boxes, and an interface. The marshalling cabinet is configured to source a voltage in a plurality of cables through junction boxes to a plurality of field devices. Each of the junction boxes is configured to detect the voltage from the marshalling cabinet and transmit a detection message upon detecting the voltage. The interface is configured to receive the detection messages from the respective junction boxes that detect the voltage.
