| 20090271346 | LIBRARY SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN DEFINITIONS AND INSTANCES - In an industrial control configuration, various instances can exist that are based upon a definition. A definition can be changed and thus it can be appropriate to alter related instances in accordance with the change. However, changing an instance can cause disruption in other actions even when the change is minor. Therefore, various standards can be used to determine if a change to an instance should be propagated automatically or at another time, such as after an operation. The determination can be based on artificial intelligence techniques, user preference, a defined rule set, user instruction, as well as other standards. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090271721 | ORGANIZATIONAL ROLL-UP/DOWN - Information related to an industrial control system can be disclosed graphically on a visual display. To traverse through different system portions, an organizational hierarchy can be used to enable a user to roll down into deeper level or roll up into a higher level. A user can input a choice of a level to view and the level can be disclosed to the user, assuming that the user has appropriate authorization to view the level. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090271728 | VISUAL REPRESENTATION MANIPULATION - An industrial control configuration can be disclosed to a user as a specific representation, such as a physical layout of different units of the configuration. A user can seamlessly move between different representations, such as switching from the physical layout to a logical layout. The representations can provide real time information and disclose animations to a user that represent different states of a unit or generally of a layout. | 10-29-2009 |
