System and method for identifying particularized equipment information of interest to varied users in an industrial automation environment
First Claim
1. An industrial automation system, comprising:
- a location component to identify a physical or a virtual location for at least one user in an industrial control environment;
a context component to determine at least one attribute for the user in view of the physical or virtual location; and
a presentation component to provide information to the user based in part on the physical or virtual location and the determined attribute.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that enable various interface applications that more efficiently communicate data to users in an industrial control system. In one aspect, an industrial automation system is provided. The system includes a base presentation component to display one or more elements of an industrial control environment. Various display items can be dynamically superimposed on the base presentation component to provide industrial control information to a user. In another aspect of the industrial automation system, a location component is provided to identify a physical or a virtual location for a user in an industrial control environment. This can include a context component to determine at least one attribute for the user in view of the physical or virtual location. A presentation component then provides information to the user based in part on the physical or virtual location and the determined attribute.

19. A method to generate an industrial control interface, comprising:
-
determining a first set of data regarding a user'"'"'s context in an industrial automation environment;
determining a second set of data for one or more control components in the industrial automation environment; and
automatically linking the first set of data and the second set of data to generate an interface relevant to the user'"'"'s current location or activity. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A computer readable medium having a data structure stored thereon for an industrial control interface, comprising:
-
a first data field to specify an industrial control environment historical data set;
a second data field to specify a user context;
a third data field to specify real-time data for at least one device; and
a forth data field to control interface operations of a display by linking at least two of the first data field, the second data field, or the third data field. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)

28. An industrial controller interface, comprising:
-
means for generating an historical data set for an industrial automation environment;
means for generating a real-time device data set in the industrial automation environment;
means for determining user context data in the industrial automation environment; and
means for controlling an interface display by linking at least two of the historical data set, the device data set, and the user context data.
