Highly Versatile Process Control System Controller

View page
US Patent:
6973508, Dec 6, 2005
Filed:
Feb 12, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/074304
Inventors:
Rusty Shepard - Austin TX, US
Ken Krivoshein - Elgin TX, US
Dan Christensen - Austin TX, US
Gary Law - Georgetown TX, US
Kent Burr - Round Rock TX, US
Mark Nixon - Round Rock TX, US
Assignee:
Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc. - Austin TX
International Classification:
G06F013/00
US Classification:
710 8, 710104, 700 2, 700 8, 712 10
Abstract:
A versatile controller that can be used as either a stand-alone controller in a relatively small process plant or as one of numerous controllers in a distributed process control system depending on the needs of the process plant includes a processor adapted to be programmed to execute one or more programming routines and a memory, such as a non-volatile memory, coupled to the processor and adapted to store the one or more programming routines to be executed on the processor. The versatile controller also includes a plurality of field device input/output ports communicatively connected to the processor, a configuration communication port connected to the processor and to the memory to enable the controller to be configured with the programming routines and a second communication port which enables a user interface to be intermittently connected to the controller to view information stored within the controller memory. When used in a distributed process control system, the controller platform may be used as a remote input/output device and the ports of this remote input/output device may be logically mapped to controllers within the distributed process control system in a manner that is different than the physical connection between such controllers and the remote input/output device.

May 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/448994
Inventors:
Kent A. Burr - Round Rock TX, US
Kenneth D. Krivoshein - Elgin TX, US
Gary K. Law - Georgetown TX, US
Assignee:
Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc. - Austin TX
International Classification:
G05B 15/00
US Classification:
700 83, 700 23, 700 34, 700 26, 700 87, 715763, 715967
Abstract:
A technique for configuring a Boolean logic function block displays a matrix associated with the Boolean logic function block on a display screen of a computer. A programmer may then enter configuration data into the matrix to configure the Boolean logic function block. The matrix may include a plurality of cells, some of which correspond to variables to be used in generating a function block output, and the programmer may enter configuration data into the cells. The configuration data entered into cells are indicative of logic functions to which the variables corresponding to the cells are to be provided as inputs.

Wearable Computer In A Process Control Environment

View page
US Patent:
7230582, Jun 12, 2007
Filed:
Feb 12, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/249597
Inventors:
Andrew P. Dove - Austin TX, US
Kent A. Burr - Round Rock TX, US
Assignee:
Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc. - Austin TX
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345 21, 345 7, 709217
Abstract:
A wearable computer for use in a process control environment includes a central processing unit, a memory and a number of peripheral devices such as a heads up display, a microphone, a video camera and a remote communication device that communicates with a host computer. The wearable computer provides information pertaining to one or more devices within a process control system (such as diagnostic information, help information, operator overviews, schematics or process parameter information) via the heads up display. The wearable computer also executes a routine that processes the video camera image to automatically identify process control devices within the field of view of the wearer based on device features such as device tags, a routine that enables a wearer to verify the proper connection of devices and/or communication channels within a process control system, a routine that displays a common image on both the heads up display and an operator workstation display and a routine that stores and automatically retrieves voice messages pertaining to any device within the process control system.

Portable Computer In A Process Control Environment

View page
US Patent:
7245271, Jul 17, 2007
Filed:
Sep 9, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/936978
Inventors:
Mark J. Nixon - Round Rock TX, US
Vasiliki Tzovla - Evia, GR
Andrew P. Dove - Austin TX, US
Kent A. Burr - Round Rock TX, US
Neil J. Peterson - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc. - Austin TX
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345 21, 345 7, 709217
Abstract:
A portable computer for use in interfacing to a process control system having a host system includes a housing adapted for hand-held operation, a processing unit disposed within the housing and a computer readable memory disposed within the housing and coupled to the processing unit. The portable computer also includes a display, a keypad and a radio frequency transceiver adapted to communicate with the host system, all of which are disposed within the housing and communicatively coupled to the processing unit. A first software routine stored in the computer readable memory processes a user input received from the keypad and sends a command to the host system via the radio frequency transceiver. Additionally, a second software routine stored in the computer readable memory receives process information sent from the host system in response to the command and displays the received process information via the portable computer display.
