Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for modeling and defining sequences for assessing wiring arrangements in industrial automation equipment. In one implementation, a computing device is configured to determine accessibility information associated with wired connections of industrial automation equipment from an access point for a technician and determine an installation sequence for the wired connections in the industrial automation equipment based on the accessibility information. The computing device is further configured to generate a display, wherein the display comprises the installation sequence and a model of the industrial automation equipment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing virtualized or modeled wiring arrangements in industrial automation equipment. In one implementation a computing device is configured to identify a selection of a wired connection from a plurality of wired connections in a first portion of a user interface, wherein the plurality of wired connections represented in the first portion correspond to industrial automation equipment. The computing device is further configured to, in response to the selection, generate a display in a second portion of the user interface that promotes the wired connection in a model of the industrial automation equipment over other objects in the model.
