1. A computing apparatus comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media;
one or more processors operatively coupled with the one or more computer readable storage media; and
program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media that, when executed by the one or more processors, direct the computing apparatus to at least:
query, in an integrated design environment, a programmable logic controller for a list of electrical devices of an industrial automation process;
receive, in the integrated design environment, electrical device data for the electrical devices from the programmable logic controller;
create, in the integrated design environment, representations of the electrical devices and populate the representations with the electrical device data;
display, in an integrated design environment, a representation of process control logic for controlling manufacturing devices of the industrial automation process;
display, in the integrated design environment, a representation of power control logic for controlling electrical devices of the industrial automation process, the representation of the power control logic comprising one or more of the representations of the electrical devices; and
deploy the process control logic and the power control logic to the programmable logic controller that controls the industrial automation process.
