Abstract
An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) supports collaborative tools that allow multiple designers and programmers to remotely submit design input to the same automation system project in parallel while maintaining project consistency. The industrial IDE also permits localized development of system projects, and provides an infrastructure for sharing and selectively synchronizing project edits among multiple locally stored versions of the system project.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a processor, operatively coupled to a memory, that executes executable components stored on the memory, wherein the executable components comprise:
- a user interface component configured to render a first integrated development environment (IDE) interface on a first client device, and to receive, from the first client device via interaction with the first IDE interface, an edit record defining a modification made to a first version of an industrial system project that is stored locally on the first client device, wherein a master version of the industrial system project is stored on a remote platform;
- and
- a collaboration management component configured to,
- in response to receipt of the edit record, store the edit record in association with the master version of the industrial system project and assign a classification category, of a set of classification categories, to the edit record, wherein the set of classification categories comprise at least an identity of an issue addressed by the modification;
- render, on a second IDE interface rendered on a second client device, edit records, including the edit record, associated with the master version of the industrial system project in a browsable format organized according to the set of classification categories, and
- in response to receipt, via interaction with the second IDE interface, of a selection of the edit record from among the edit records, synchronize the modification to a second version of the industrial system project that is stored locally on the second client device.

A method, comprising:
- rendering, by a system comprising a processor, a first integrated development environment (IDE) interface on a first client device;
- receiving, by the system from the first client device via interaction with the first IDE interface, an edit record defining a modification made on the first client device to a first version of an industrial system project that is stored locally on the first client device, wherein a master version of the industrial system project is stored on a remote platform;
- in response to the receiving:
- storing, by the system, the edit record in association with the master version of the industrial system project, wherein the storing comprises assigning a classification category, of a set of classification categories, to the edit record, and the set of classification categories comprise at least an identity of an issue addressed by the modification;
- rendering, on a second IDE interface rendered on a second client device, edit records, including the edit record, that are associated with the master version of the industrial system project in a browsable format organized according to the set of classification categories;
- and
- in response to receiving, via interaction with the second IDE interface, selection of the edit record from among the edit records, updating, by the system, a second version of the industrial system project that is stored locally on the second client device to synchronize the modification to the second version of the industrial system project.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- rendering, on a first client device that communicatively interfaces with the system, a first integrated development environment (IDE) interface;
- receiving, from the first client device via interaction with the first IDE interface, an edit record defining an edit performed on a first version of an industrial system project that is stored on the first client device, wherein a master version of the industrial system project is stored on a remote platform;
- in response to the receiving, storing the edit record in association with the master version of the industrial system project, wherein the storing comprises assigning a classification category, of a set of classification categories, to the edit record, and the set of classification categories comprise at least an identity of an issue addressed by the edit;
- displaying, on a second IDE interface rendered on a second client device, edit records, including the edit records, that are associated with the industrial system project in a browsable format organized according to the classification categories;
- and
- in response to receiving, via interaction with the second IDE interface, a selection of the edit record from among the edit records, applying the edit to a second version of the industrial system project that is stored on the second client device.
