Presentation design dynamic generation from data model server

A method, comprising:

• rendering, by an industrial integrated development environment (IDE) system comprising a processor, a development interface on a client device;
• displaying, by the industrial IDE system on the development interface, design information relating to an industrial control project of an industrial automation system, the design information comprising at least device profiles representing physical industrial devices included in the industrial automation system;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection, via interaction with the development interface, of a device profile corresponding to an industrial device:
• selecting, by the industrial IDE system, a device profile template to be used as a basis for rendering a profile interface for the device profile, wherein the device profile template defines presentation features of the profile interface,
• identifying, by the industrial IDE system, a first subset of the presentation features defined by the device profile template that correspond to features of the industrial device defined in a device data model, and
• generating, by the industrial IDE system, the profile interface on the development interface, wherein the generating comprises rendering, on the profile interface, the first subset of the presentation features and omitting, from the profile interface, a second subset of the presentation features that do not correspond to the features of the industrial device defined in the device data model.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution, cause an industrial integrated development environment (IDE) system comprising a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• displaying a development interface on a client device;
• displaying, on the development interface, an industrial control project developed for an industrial automation system, the industrial control project comprising at least device profiles representing industrial devices included in the industrial automation system;
• and
• in response to receiving a selection, via interaction with the development interface, of a device profile corresponding to an industrial device:
• selecting a device profile template to be used for rendering a profile interface for the device profile, wherein the device profile template defines user interface features of the profile interface,
• referencing a device data model that defines data items and features supported by the industrial device;
• identifying a first subset of the user interface features defined by the device profile template that correspond to the data items and features defined in the device data model, and
• displaying the profile interface on the development interface, wherein the displaying comprises displaying, on the profile interface, the first subset of the presentation features and omitting, from the profile interface, a second subset of the presentation features that do not correspond to the data items and features defined in the device data model.
