Abstract

An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) can dynamically generate user interfaces for device profiles using predefined reusable profile templates together with data models of the devices for which the device profile interfaces are to be created. The device profile template defines features or components of profile interface views that are reusable across multiple different devices. The industrial IDE determines which interface features defined by the device profile template are required to support the device's data and supported features defined by the data model, and dynamically adapts the device profile template to yield a suitable device profile interface that can be used to view and edit the device's data and configuration parameter values.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a memory that stores executable components;
and
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
a user interface component configured to:
render, on a client device, a development interface of an industrial integrated development environment (IDE) system, and
display, 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
a device profile generation component configured to, in response to selection, via interaction with the development interface, of a device profile corresponding to an industrial device:
select 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,
identify 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
generate, on the development interface, the profile interface to include the first subset of the presentation features and to omit 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 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.
