Abstract
An industrial automation object library system comprises a data store that is accessible by way of the Internet. The data store retains an object that is executable by a programmable logic controller, wherein the object conforms to a hierarchically structured data model. A location component associated with the data store accesses the data store to locate the object upon receipt of a request for the object. In one particular example, the hierarchically structured data model can be based at least in part upon ISA S95 and/or ISA S88.
