GRAPHICAL INTERFACE FOR CONFIGURATION OF AN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM

摘要

Exemplified herein is a graphical user interface for an industrial automation system (1100, 1200) that provides, in a single aggregated and eloquent view, a configuration workspace (100) to discover and present configuration details of control components (e.g., 1106, 1108, 1110, 1118, 1116, 1120, 1202, 1206, 1210, 1212) within the industrial automation system (e.g., 1100, 1200). These components (1106, 1108, 1110, 1118, 1116, 1120, 1202, 1206, 1210, 1212) may include industrial controllers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, programmable automation controllers (PACs), and the like, which have modules (208) (as well as submodules) connected thereto. Among other things, the configuration workspace (100) enables a holistic view (104) of identified hardware configuration and the modular reconciliation (300) and troubleshoot of the network device and module configurations.
