20080313228 | CONTROLLER LOG AND LOG AGGREGATION - Systems and methods of recording user actions on an industrial controller. When a user logs into an industrial controller (e.g., a stand-alone controller) changes made to the controller can be recorded by a logging component. The recorded information can be encrypted to ensure reliability of the information. The logging component can be periodically brought into communication with an aggregation component which can receive log entries from a plurality of controllers and their associated logging components, and compile the log entries into an aggregate log. | 12-18-2008 |
20090125156 | ENERGY STORAGE MODULE - An industrial automation controller module includes a main module and an energy storage module (ESM) releasably connected to the main module. The ESM includes a back-up electrical power source such as a battery or a capacitor that is electrically connected to processor circuitry of the main module when the ESM is physically connected to the main module. In case of interruption of operating power to the processor circuitry of the main module, the back-up power source of the ESM supplies back-up power to the main module to allow for completion of an emergency save operation to save data to non-volatile memory in the main module. If the ESM includes a capacitor back-up power source, it is charged by the main module and the capacitor charge is dissipated if the ESM is separated from the main module. In all cases, the ESM can include one or more configuration parameters stored therein that allow the main module to validate (or not) the ESM for the requirements of the main module, with respect to type of back-up power source, product code or model, capacity of back-up power source, and the like. The main module can also initiate periodic testing of the back-up power source of the ESM. | 05-14-2009 |
