Systems and method for generating a base design and corresponding layout based on client data and an electrical load list. The electrical load list may include any number of electrical components for an industrial device assembly. A processor may determine parameters that define levels of operations for each of the electrical components based on the client data and subsequently identify a set of base designs based on the parameters. Additionally, supporting modules that assist operations of at lead one of the electrical components may be added to the base design. In turn, the set of base designs and corresponding supporting modules may be displayed to a user as a set of visualizations. In response to receiving a selection of a particular visualization that represents a particular base design, the processor may generate and display a layout corresponding to the particular base design.

Systems and method for generating Ethernet modules based on base designs. After a processor receives a base design for an industrial device assembly, the processor may calculate electrical load limits for sections of the base design based on dimensions of the sections, a number of sections, a location of the industrial device assembly, and the like. Based on the electrical load limits, the processor may determine a number of Ethernet modules for the sections and respective placements of the Ethernet modules within the base design. The processor may update a layout of the industrial device assembly based on the number of Ethernet modules for the sections and respective placements of the Ethernet modules within the base design.

A computing system has a processor that receives input data including an electrical load list. The computing system dynamically generates a single-line diagram based on the input data. That is, the computing system may generate the single-line diagram while the input data is generated, modified, or the like. The input data may be provided by a customer via a graphical user interface (GUI). The single-line diagram may be rendered in the same GUI on a client device.

A computing system has a processor that receives client data defining one or more electrical loads of an industrial automation project. The computing system generates one or more motor control lineups based on the client data and historical data associated with a plurality of previous industrial automation projects. The computing system receives a selection of a motor control lineup form a plurality of motor control lineups. A visual representation of the selected motor control lineup is generated and transmitted for display on a graphical user interface.

Systems and method for selecting option packs using guided selection via base designs. A processor may display visualizations that represent types of option packs associated with the industrial device assembly. Each visualization may include a slide visualization that moves selectable levels. The selectable levels may include a first selectable level and a second selectable level. For instance, the first selectable level may correspond to a first rating related to a respective operation of a respective type of option pack. After receiving a first selection of a type of option pack and a second selection representative of a selectable level, the processor may identify an option pack that corresponds to the first and second selections. In turn, the processor may generate an updated base design and layout based on the identified option pack.

Motor control centers are designed and configured by a series of interface screens that are served to a configuration computer. The system configuration may be based on a default configuration, and customization is made based upon user selection or input of data via the interface screens. The particular screens presented and the type and detail of data presented may be adapted so that more or less is available based upon a security access model. The system may be fully integrated with various other systems, such as enterprise resource planning tools. The system may be online, such that the interface, data, offerings, options and so forth may be easily adapted and updated, and design and configuration may be made by different parties at different locations with a minimum of specialized configuration computer programming.

Present embodiments are directed to a system and method for facilitating communication between an external application stored on an external computer and an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system component without utilizing a format of the ERP system. Present embodiments function to receive configurable material in a first data format from the external application into a user control stored on the external computer and convert the configurable material into a second data format with the user control. Additionally, present embodiments operate to make the configurable material available in the second data format to a server-side scripting component of an ERP system. Further, present embodiments function to receive a response object from the server-side scripting component in a third data format and convert the response object into configuration data in the first data format with the user control, and transmit the configuration data in the first data format to the external application with the user control.

System and method for interfacing with an enterprise resource planning system

A technique for generating a physical representation of networked components makes use of data stored within the individual components, which may be polled by a monitoring station. The data includes identification of the respective component, and data representative of a physical disposition of the component in the system. Based upon the data, the monitoring station builds a physical representation of the system, including approximately accurate physical representations of the individual components with identifying labels, facilitating monitoring and servicing of the components.
