Abstract

Systems and methods for data collection and phase detection are disclosed. A system can include a data acquisition circuit to interpret a plurality of detection values received from a plurality of multiplexed input sensors, each of the plurality of input sensors operatively coupled to a component of an industrial system. The system may also include a data analysis circuit utilizing a neural network to analyze a subset of the plurality of detection values and a phase of the plurality of detection values to classify a type or an identity of a distant device, wherein the phase of the plurality of detection values is derived using at least one on-board timer relative to at least one trigger channel comprising a trigger signal output from a trigger sensor and formed of a plurality of trigger pulses.

Claims (30)

1 . A system for data collection, the system comprising:

a data acquisition circuit structured to interpret a plurality of detection values received from a plurality of multiplexed input sensors, each of the plurality of input sensors operatively coupled to a component of an industrial system; and

a data analysis circuit utilizing a neural network and structured to analyze a subset of the plurality of detection values and a phase of the plurality of detection values to classify a type or an identity of a distant device,

wherein the phase of the plurality of detection values is derived using at least one on-board timer relative to at least one trigger channel comprising a trigger signal output from a trigger sensor and formed of a plurality of trigger pulses.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data acquisition circuit is further structured to route the at least one trigger channel into at least one of multiple inputs.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one trigger channel is raw and unbuffered.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data analysis circuit is further structured to determine a trigger quality of at least one of the plurality of trigger pulses associated with forming a part.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the data analysis circuit is further structured to utilize the trigger quality to determine a state of corruption of the trigger signal.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the state of corruption is indicative of at least one of an inadequate placement of the trigger sensor, a wiring issue and a faulty setup of the trigger sensor.

7 . A method comprising:

interpreting a plurality of detection values received from a plurality of multiplexed input sensors, each of the plurality of input sensors operatively coupled to a component of an industrial system;

analyzing a subset of the plurality of detection values and a phase of the plurality of detection values utilizing a neural network; and

classifying a type or an identity of a distant device comprising the component,

wherein the phase of the plurality of detection values is derived using at least one on-board timer relative to at least one trigger channel comprising a trigger signal output from a trigger sensor and formed of a plurality of trigger pulses.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising routing the at least one trigger channel into at least one of multiple inputs.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one trigger channel is raw and unbuffered.

10 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining a trigger quality of at least one of the plurality of trigger pulses forming a part.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising utilizing the trigger quality to determine a state of corruption of the trigger signal.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the state of corruption is indicative of at least one of an inadequate placement of the trigger sensor, a wiring issue and a faulty setup of the trigger sensor.

13 . A system comprising:

a data acquisition circuit structured to interpret a plurality of detection values, each of the plurality of detection values corresponding to input received from at least one of a plurality of multiplexed input sensors, each of the plurality of input sensors operatively coupled to a component of an industrial system; and

a data analysis circuit utilizing a neural network and structured to analyze a subset of the plurality of detection values and a phase of the plurality of detection values to classify a type or an identity of a distant device,

wherein the phase of the plurality of detection values is derived using at least one on-board timer relative to at least one trigger channel comprising a trigger signal output from a trigger sensor and formed of a plurality of trigger pulses.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the data acquisition circuit is further structured to route the at least one trigger channel into at least one of multiple inputs.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one trigger channel is raw and unbuffered.

16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the data analysis circuit is further structured to determine a trigger quality of at least one of the plurality of trigger pulses associated with forming a part.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the data analysis circuit is further structured to utilize the trigger quality to determine a state of corruption of the trigger signal.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the state of corruption is indicative of at least one of an inadequate placement of the trigger sensor.

19 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the state of corruption is indicative of a wiring issue.

20 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the state of corruption is indicative of a faulty setup of the trigger sensor.
