A method and system for configuring a control processor in a process control system. Barcode configuration data contain operating features of a process control network component is entered via an optical scanner and the data is forwarded to a control processor. The control processor uses the data to generate a configuration file used to setup or modify processor operating parameters.

Method and system for automated setup of configuration parameters for a control processor

Certain exemplary embodiments provide a method comprising automatically enforcing user compliance with a plurality of predetermined steps of a computer-assisted verification test of a safety feature for a machine system; inducing an error condition in the machine system; and collecting data regarding a response of the machine system to the error condition.

System, method, and user interface for acceptance testing

A method and apparatus for displaying and entering information associated with structures in a machining system, wherein each structure is associated with at least one setup in the machining system, and can be, for example, a pallet, fixture, or workface. A user interface receives the structure information from the user and displays at least a portion of the information, along with a structure icon, within a window on a display device. Preferably, the location of the tool in the machining system is also displayed within the window along with a machine configuration image which represents the configuration of the machining system. The structure information preferably includes the offset coordinates for the structure. Upon request from the user, setup icons and setup information for the setups associated with the structure can be displayed.
