Generative artificial intelligence industrial design code conversion

A method, comprising:

• training, by an industrial integrated development environment (IDE) system comprising a processor, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model using training data comprising at least one of industrial control code samples, industrial standards data, or industrial protocol data;
• rendering, by the industrial IDE system, a chat interface;
• interpreting, by the industrial IDE system, plain language input data received via the chat interface;
• and
• in response to determining, based on the interpreting, that the plain language input data requests a replacement of data tags defined within industrial control code with smart objects, replacing, by the industrial IDE system, one or more of the data tags with a smart object having functionality that corresponds to functionality of the one or more of the data tags to yield converted control code,
• wherein the converted industrial control code is executable on an industrial controller to cause the industrial controller to monitor and control an industrial automation system in accordance with the equivalent functionality defined by the converted industrial control code.

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:

• training a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model using training data comprising at least one of industrial control code samples, industrial standards data, or industrial protocol data;
• rendering a chat interface on a client device;
• interpreting plain language input data received via the chat interface;
• and
• in response to determining, based on the interpreting, that the plain language input data requests a replacement of data tags defined within industrial control code with smart objects, replacing one or more of the data tags with a smart object having functionality that corresponds to functionality of the one or more of the data tags to yield converted control code,
• wherein the converted industrial control code is executable on an industrial controller to cause the industrial controller to monitor and control an industrial automation system in accordance with the equivalent functionality defined by the converted industrial control code.
