Title: Assistant application for a modular control system
Inventor: AARON CHRISTOPHER JONES
IPC: G06F8/65
Filed: 2018-09-13
Abstract: A method for efficiently managing configuration of modular control systems includes detecting a communicative coupling between a workstation and a modular control system, determining whether an active project 70 stored in a memory of the workstation matches a saved project 72 stored in a memory of the modular control system. Where each of the active project and the saved project includes a respective coordinated set of data for controlling operation of the modular control system. When the active project and the saved project do not match it is determined whether the active project is correct for the modular control system, and when the active project is incorrect the modular control system, automatically provides, via an interactive user interface, a control for transferring or synchronizing at least a portion of the saved project from the memory of the modular control system to the active project in the memory of the workstation. A list of items that conflict may be provided and a user interface is provided for selecting individual items for transferring to the active project. Suggested names may be automatically generated for the project version retrieved form the modular control system.
