Embodiment Construction

[0022] Speech interfaces in process control systems are disclosed herein. Typically, a process control system has a number of process control devices (eg, field devices) in which configuration settings are defined / set. In a typical process control system, it is necessary to access (eg, securely access) process control devices associated with the process control system, such as field devices, workstations, and / or operator stations, to change / modify / define configuration settings. Accessing these devices can be expensive, cumbersome and / or time-consuming due to the security measures necessary and / or the programming means required for their programming.

[0023] Although field devices located throughout a process control system can be programmed from a central, remotely located control room, there are situations where operators, engineers, and / or other plant personnel are located in the field near the field devices, for example, During configuration and / or setup of field devices ...

Abstract

Configuration interfaces in process control systems are disclosed herein. One disclosed example method includes authenticating an RFID device, and, based on authenticating the RFID device, receiving voice instructions, where the voice instructions include settings data for a process control device of a process control system. The example method also includes determining, using a processor, the settings data based on the voice instructions and storing the settings data.

Description

technical field [0001] This disclosure relates generally to voice interfaces, and more specifically, to voice interfaces in process control systems. Background technique [0002] Process control systems, such as those used in chemical, petroleum, or other processes, typically include one or more process controllers that communicate via an analog, digital, or combined analog / digital bus. coupled to one or more field devices. Field devices, which can be, for example, instruments, flow computers, valve positioners, switches, and transmitters (such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate sensors) perform process control functions within the process, such as opening or closing valves and measuring process control parameters . Process controllers receive signals indicative of process measurements obtained by field devices, and then process the information to generate control signals to execute control routines, make other process control decisions, and initiate process control s...
