1. A system for developing industrial applications, comprising:
a memory that stores executable components; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
a user interface component configured to render an industrial integrated development environment (IDE) development interface and to receive, via interaction with the development interface, industrial design input that defines aspects of an industrial automation project, wherein the development interface comprises:
one or more workspace canvases configured to facilitate development of a selected aspect of the industrial automation project,
a properties panel, and
an explorer panel that facilitates browsing of elements of the industrial automation project; and
a project generation component configured to generate system project data based on the industrial design input comprising automation objects, the automation objects corresponding to an industrial asset and comprising customized control code, human-machine interfaces (HMI) screens, and help files for the industrial asset,
wherein
the explorer panel comprises explorer icons rendered on an explorer view control bar, the explorer icons representing respective different viewing categories supported by the explorer panel, the explorer panel comprising:
an HMI tab presenting HMI application nodes, wherein selecting a given HMI application node renders properties of the given HMI application node in the properties panel,
a controller navigation tree, the controller navigation tree presenting controller application nodes comprising a fault handler node and a power-up handler node, wherein selecting a given controller application node renders a function block diagram, code, and property information for the given controller application node, and
selection of an explorer icon, of the explorer icons, causes browsable project content associated with a viewing category of the explorer icon to be rendered in the explorer panel.
