Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a first edited version of an industrial system project;
receiving, by the system, a second edited version of the industrial system project;
comparing, by the system, nodes defined in a first model description of the first edited version with corresponding nodes defined in a second model description representing the second edited version;
generating, by the system, a merged model description representing a merging of the first edited version and the second edited version based on a result of the comparing;
identifying, by the system based on an analysis performed on the merged model description, a node of the merged model description whose number or types of associated attributes are inconsistent with a number and type of attributes defined by an object definition corresponding to a type of the node;
in response to the identifying, modifying, by the system, the node of the merged model description to bring the number and types of attributes associated with the node into consistency with the object definition to yield a modified merged model description; and
translating, by the system, the modified merged model description to an updated version of the industrial system project that, in response to execution on an industrial device, facilitates monitoring or control of an industrial automation system.
