Embodiment Construction

[0014] While the following describes example methods and apparatus including software and / or firmware executed on hardware, among other components, it should be noted that these examples are illustrative only and should not be considered limiting. For example, it is contemplated that any or all of hardware, software, and firmware components can be embodied exclusively in hardware, exclusively in software, or in any combination of hardware and software. Thus, while exemplary methods and apparatus are described below, those of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the examples provided are not the only ways to implement such methods and apparatus. For example, although the example methods and apparatus are described in connection with the management of multiple process control resources of a process control system, the example methods and apparatus are more generally applicable and can be implemented to manage resources in any automation system, Multiple process ...

Abstract

Example methods and apparatus to manage process control resources are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes receiving a selection of a first process control resource within a process control system to be associated with a logical container, the logical container including other process control resources that have a same user defined characteristic in common with the first process control resource, creating an entry within the logical container for the first process control resource by storing an identifier of the first process control resource in the logical container, and assigning the first process control resource to the logical container so that the identifier of the first process control resource links to process control information associated with the first process control resource.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to process control systems and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for managing a plurality of process control resources. Background technique [0002] Process control systems such as those used in chemical, petroleum, or other processes generally include communicatively coupled to at least one host or operator workstation and to one or more One or more process controllers and input / output (I / O) devices for field devices. Field devices, which may be such as valves, valve positioners, switches, and transmitters (eg, temperature, pressure, and flow rate sensors), perform process control functions within a process, such as opening or closing valves and measuring process control parameters. Controllers receive signals representing process measurements made by field devices, process the information to implement control routines, and generate control signals that are sent over buses or other communication lin...
