Abstract
A search component for an industrial automation system is provided. The search component includes one or more modules that employ resources and logic to expose functionality of the modules while providing generic interfaces to external components of the modules. A classification component assigns attributes to the modules to facilitate a search of the modules.

25. A computer readable medium having a data structure stored thereon to facilitate module searching in an industrial controller system, comprising:
-
a first data field to specify resources to perform one or more actions; a second data field to specify logical sequences to execute the actions; and a third data field that specifies one or more attributes associated with the resources and the logical sequences, the attributes employed to classify a module. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)

28. A method to facilitate module searching in an industrial controller system, comprising:
-
defining resources and logic for a module; determining at least one attribute or type for the module; and executing a search over a plurality of modules to determine a module subset based at least in part on the attribute or type for the module. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32)

33. An industrial controller search and classification system, comprising:
-
means for specifying at least one resource that defines a control system action; means for generating logic that performs the control system action; means for classifying one or more modules that incorporate the resource and the logic; and means for searching the modules to determine a module subset.
