Abstract
Techniques to facilitate device identification in a human machine interface (HMI) associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, the HMI is configured to display a plurality of graphical elements that represent one or more industrial devices. A user query selection of at least one query-building element is received. One or more of the graphical elements in the HMI that represent the one or more industrial devices that correlate to the at least one query-building element is identified. The one or more of the graphical elements that correlate to the at least one query-building element is visually distinguished distinctly from a remainder of the graphical elements that do not correlate to the at least one query-building element.
