Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides a system and / or method that facilitates utilizing metadata appended to data related to an industrial automation environment with a controller that is associated with a hierarchically structured data model. An interface component can facilitate receipt of data associated with at least one of an instruction set, a configuration, and a collection. An append component can affix metadata to at least one of the instruction set, the configuration, and the collection, wherein the metadata conforms to a hierarchically structured data model.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to industrial control systems, and more particularly to enabling the use of legacy devices when updating an industrial control system data model. Background technique [0002] Thanks to advances in computing technology, businesses today are able to operate more efficiently than businesses that were essentially similar just a few years ago. For example, internal networking enables employees of a company to communicate instantly via e-mail, quickly transfer data files to different employees, process data files, share data related to a project to reduce duplication in work production, etc. In addition, advances in technology have allowed factory applications to be partially or fully automated. For example, operations that once required workers to be close to cumbersome machinery and various other hazardous conditions can now be performed at a safe distance. [0003] Furthermore, deficiencies associated with human activities...
