Model development environment for assisting user in developing model describing condition of industrial asset
Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for facilitating development, by a user, of a model describing a condition of an industrial asset. An output parameter of the model can be defined within a model development environment. The output parameter describes a condition of the industrial asset and can be defined using one or more variables. During deployment of the model within a deployment environment, respective variables of the model can be mapped to a data store where data associated with the variable is located. In this way, during development, a user can specify variables to be used within the model without specifying where to fetch and/or push data associated with the variable, for example. Further, the model can be executed within the deployment environment to assess the condition for a plurality of industrial assets.
1. A method for facilitating development, by a user and within a model development environment, of a model describing a condition of an industrial asset, comprising:
defining a first output parameter of the model, the first output parameter describing the condition of the industrial asset, comprising:
associating, in response to input from the user, a first variable with the first output parameter, the first variable associated with a first set of data comprising one or more values corresponding to the first variable, and the associating performed without the user identifying a first location where the first set of data is stored; and
defining a first argument type that specifies how to compute the first output parameter based upon the first variable;
defining a second output parameter of the model, the second output parameter describing the condition of the industrial asset, comprising:
associating a second variable with the second output parameter; and
defining a second argument type that specifies how to compute the second output parameter based upon the second variable; and
linking the first output parameter to the second output parameter upon receipt of an indication by the user to make the second variable a function of the first output parameter, at least some of the method implemented via a processing unit.

associating, in response to input from the user, a first variable with the first output parameter, the first variable associated with a first set of data comprising one or more values corresponding to the first variable and the associating performed without the user identifying a first location where the first set of data is stored; and
defining a first argument type that specifies how to compute the first output parameter based upon the first variable;
associating a second variable with a second output parameter; and
defining a second argument type that specifies how to compute the second output parameter based upon the second variable; and
linking the first output parameter to the second output parameter upon receipt of an indication by the user to make the second variable a function of the first output parameter, at least some of the system implemented via a processing unit.
13. The system of claim 12 , the industrial asset comprising power distribution equipment.
14. The system of claim 12 , the hosting component comprising:
a packaging module configured to compile the model into a software package comprising an application programming interface (API) for linking the first variable to the first location to retrieve the first set of data.
