SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPERATING INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION DEVICES BASED ON HIERARCHICAL LEVEL AWARENESS

摘要

An industrial automation component may be configured to receive an input that corresponds to at least one of a plurality of hierarchical levels associated with an industrial automation system. The industrial automation component may also receive data from a first set of industrial automation components associated with the at least one of the plurality of hierarchical levels. After receiving the data, the industrial automation component may send one or more commands to the first set of industrial automation components, wherein the commands are configured to control one or more operations of at least one of the first set of industrial automation components.
