Abstract
An industrial integrated development environment (IDE) comprises a development interface that affords a user a great deal of control over the editing tools, workspace canvases, and project information rendered at a given time. The industrial IDE system also includes various graphical features that assist the user to easily discern the various online and offline states of industrial control programs developed using the IDE system. Collaboration tools supported by the IDE system facilitate communicative and coordinated editing of control programs by multiple developers, and the IDE system conveys the resulting online and offline states of these programs using intuitive graphical indicators.
