20090240981 | BOOTSTRAP DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF - A method of booting a multi-processor data processing device includes establishing a link between a first processor and a memory. The link is monitored to determine if, in response to a request from the processor, expected initialization data is communicated between the memory and the first processor. If unexpected data is detected on the link, the link is severed and a new link established between a second processor and the memory to allow the second processor to initiate the boot process. This ensures that, in the event of an error in the boot process at the first processor, the device can complete the boot process, thereby reducing device downtime. | 09-24-2009 |

20100063606 | AUTOMATED DERIVATION OF A LOGIC-CONTROLLER-BEHAVIOR-MODEL FROM A MECHANICAL-MACHINE-OPERATION-MODEL - An electrical logic controller behavior model of logic controller behavior is automatically or semi-automatically derived from a model of mechanical machine operation. To create the electrical model, an electrical step is created corresponding to each mechanical step of the mechanical model. For each mechanical transition on the mechanical step, a corresponding electrical transition is created on the corresponding electrical step. For each identified signal associated with an end position of the mechanical step, a condition is created for the associated signal on the corresponding electrical transition. The electrical logic controller behavior model is then used to generate PLC-specific software to control a machine or plant. | 03-11-2010 |
