LAYERED MAP PRESENTATION FOR INDUSTRIAL DATA
First Claim
1. A system for searching industrial data, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer-executable components;
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components, the computer-executable components comprising;
a search component configured to perform a search of a federated data model for a specified data item and to generate a set of search results identifying locations of the data item and correlated data items within an industrial environment, wherein the federated data model records respective locations of available data items distributed across multiple data sources of the industrial environment;
a presentation component configured to format the set of search results as a layered map presentation that displays the set of search results as graphical representations on multiple presentation layers corresponding to different views of the set of search results; and
a device interface component configured to send the layered map presentation to a client device.

Abstract
A multi-platform industrial search system facilitates indexing and searching of plant-wide data residing on multiple different data platforms. The industrial search system automatically inventories industrial devices and other data sources located throughout a plant, and identifies available data items on each data source. The search system indexes the discovered data items in a federated data model that can subsequently be searched to locate data items or tags of interest. The federated data model records references to data items found on different types of data sources, including but not limited to industrial controller programs, human-machine interface applications, data historians, device documentation stores, inventory tracking systems, and other such data sources. The search system can present search results as a layered map presentation that graphically depicts the search results on multiple view-specific layers that can be viewed individually or combined into composite layered presentations.

11. A method for searching and displaying multi-platform industrial data, comprising:
-
receiving, by a system comprising a processor, query information specifying a data item; in response to the receiving, identifying, by the system, locations of the data item and other data items related to the data item within an industrial environment based on a search of a federated data model that indexes available data items located on multiple data sources of the industrial environment; generating, by the system, search result data based on the identifying; formatting, by the system, the search result data as a layered map presentation that graphically displays the search result data on multiple presentation layers corresponding to different views of the search result data; and sending, by the system, the layered map presentation to a client device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
in response to receiving query information from a client device specifying a data item, identifying locations of the data item based on a search of a federated data model that indexes discovered instances of available data items located on multiple data sources of an industrial environment; generating a set of search results based on the identifying; formatting the set of search results as a layered map presentation that renders the set of search results as graphical representations on multiple presentation layers depicting respective different views of the search results; and sending the layered map presentation to the client device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
