Abstract

Some example embodiments described herein relates to a system for configuring a tag name of an electronic component. The system can include a processor that can obtain a dataset comprising a plurality of tags, where each tag can be associated with an electronic component. Further, the processor can identify a metadata associated with the plurality of tags. Further, the processor can recognize a set of tags from amongst the plurality of tags that exhibit a common relationship. The common relationship can be indicative of at least one of: a pattern, a behavior, a usage type, and an installation location, corresponding to the set of tags. Further, the processor can generate a tag nomenclature for the set of tags and configure a tag name of the plurality of tags based on the tag nomenclature.

Claims (45)

1. A system comprising:

a processor configured to:

obtain a dataset comprising a plurality of tags, wherein each tag of the plurality of tags is associated with an electronic component;

identify metadata associated with the plurality of tags;

recognize a set of tags from amongst the plurality of tags that exhibit a common relationship, by analyzing the metadata based on a pre-defined rule, wherein the relationship is indicative of at least one of: a pattern, a behavior, a usage type, and an installation location, corresponding to the set of tags;

generate a tag nomenclature for the set of tags; and

configure a tag name of the plurality of tags based on the tag nomenclature.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of tags comprises at least one of: a sensor tag, a variable frequency drive (VFD) tag, or a programmable logic controller (PLC) tag.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein the sensor tag corresponds to a tag associated with one of: a photo eye, a temperature sensor, and an input/output sensor connected over a network.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the processor is configured to:

recognize a set of photo eye tags of a sorter system from amongst the plurality of tags exhibiting the common relationship based on using at least one of: a cycle count for a test run of carts, a duration of blocking of a timing sensor, a bill of material data, and a timing to approximate location on a conveyor line.

5. The system of claim 3 wherein the processor is configured to:

recognize a set of temperature sensor tags based on using at least one of: a trend indicative of a first predetermined gain in and a second predetermined dissipation, in temperature values sensed by the temperature sensor, and a bill of material data.

6. The system of claim 3 wherein the processor is configured to:

recognize a set of input/output sensor tags based on using at least one of: a parameterization data associated with the input/output sensor tags and an OPC based standardized data format used in communication.

7. The system of claim 2 wherein the processor is configured to: recognize a set of VFD tags based on identifying a pattern in at least one of: a power value, an energy value, a voltage value, a current value, and a bill of material data, associated with the VFD.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein each tag of the plurality of tags is associated with at least one of: the electronic component and a data entity associated with the electronic component and wherein the plurality of tags are used to perform communication based on one of: an open proprietary communication (OPC) and open standard communication protocol (OSP).

9. A method comprising:

obtaining a dataset comprising a plurality of tags, wherein each tag of the plurality of tags is associated with an electronic component;

identifying a metadata associated with the plurality of tags;

recognizing a set of tags from amongst the plurality of tags that exhibit a common relationship, by analyzing the metadata based on a pre-defined rule, wherein the relationship is indicative of at least one of: a pattern, a trend, a usage type, and an installation location, corresponding to the set of tags;

generating a tag nomenclature for the set of tags; and

configuring a tag name of the plurality of tags based on the tag nomenclature.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the plurality of tags comprises at least one of: a sensor tag, a variable frequency drive (VFD) tag, a programmable logic controller (PLC) tag.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the sensor tag corresponds to a tag associated with one of: a photo eye, a temperature sensor, and an input/output sensor connected over a network.

12. The method of claim 11 comprising:

recognizing a set of photo eye tags of a sorter system from amongst the plurality of tags exhibiting the common relationship based on using at least one of: a cycle count for a test run of carts, duration of blocking of a timing sensor, a bill of material data, and a timing to approximate location on a conveyor line;

recognizing a set of temperature sensor tags based on using at least one of: a trend indicative of a first predetermined gain in and a second predetermined dissipation, in temperature values sensed by the temperature sensor, and a bill of material data; and

recognizing a set of input/output sensor tags based on using at least one of: a parameterization data associated with the input/output sensor tags and an OPC based standardized data format used in communication.

13. The method of claim 10 comprising: recognizing a set of VFD tags based on identifying a pattern in at least one of: a power value, an energy value, a voltage value, a current value, and a bill of material data associated with the VFD.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein each tag of the plurality of tags is associated with at least one of: the electronic component and a data entity associated with the electronic component and wherein the plurality of tags are used to perform communication based on one of: an open proprietary communication (OPC) and open standard communication protocol (OSP).

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores thereon computer-executable instructions that in response to execution by a processor, perform operations comprising:

obtaining a dataset comprising a plurality of tags, wherein each tag of the plurality of tags is associated with an electronic component;

identifying a metadata associated with the plurality of tags;

recognizing a set of tags from amongst the plurality of tags that exhibit a common relationship, by analyzing the metadata based on a pre-defined rule, wherein the relationship is indicative of at least one of: a pattern, a trend, a usage type, and an installation location, corresponding to the set of tags;

generating a tag nomenclature for the set of tags; and

configuring a tag name of the plurality of tags based on the tag nomenclature.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 wherein the plurality of tags comprises at least one of: a sensor tag, a variable frequency drive (VFD) tag, a programmable logic controller (PLC) tag.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 wherein the sensor tag corresponds to a tag associated with one of: a photo eye, a temperature sensor, and an input/output sensor connected over a network.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 that stores thereon computer-executable instructions that in response to execution by a processor, perform operations further comprising:

recognizing a set of photo eye tags of a sorter system from amongst the plurality of tags exhibiting the common relationship based on using at least one of: a cycle count for a test run of carts, duration of blocking of a timing sensor, a bill of material data, and a timing to approximate location on a conveyor line;

recognizing a set of temperature sensor tags based on using at least one of: a trend indicative of a first predetermined gain in and a second predetermined dissipation, in temperature values sensed by the temperature sensor, and a bill of material data; and
