MAPPING BETWEEN HIERARCHIES IN AN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions; and
a processor that executes or facilitates execution of the instructions to at least;
locate a first instance of data within a first hierarchical tree; and
map the first instance of the data within the first hierarchical tree to a second instance of the data within a second hierarchical tree,wherein the first hierarchical tree and the second hierarchical tree comprise the same data arranged in different structural organizations.

Abstract
A mechanism for mapping data between different hierarchies within an industrial automation system facilitates the user of the different hierarchies. For example, the mechanism can include at least: locating an instance of data within a first hierarchical tree; and mapping the instance of the data within the first hierarchical tree to an instance of the data within a second hierarchical tree. The first hierarchical tree and the second hierarchical tree include instances of the same data arranged in different structural organizations. Utilizing the mechanism, when an instance of data in the first hierarchical tree is changed, a corresponding instance of the data in the second hierarchical tree can be updated according to the change.

10. A method, comprising:
-
locating, by a system comprising a processor, a first instance of data within a first hierarchy; and mapping, by the system, the first instance of the data within the first hierarchy to a second instance of the data within a second hierarchy, wherein data represented by the first instance of the data within the first hierarchy and the second instance of the data within the second hierarchy is related to an entity within an industrial automation system. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
mapping an instance of data at a logical location within a first hierarchical tree to another instance of the data at a physical location within a second hierarchical tree; and generating a display of the first hierarchical tree or the second hierarchical tree, wherein the logical location is different from the physical location. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
