However, resource files are usually designed by the DD developer, in which case the display (though some are configurable to define the visualization and animation of the device) is usually static while the information is displayed, and the user must view the The information specified in the resource file of
Therefore, the user has no control over what information he / she sees and / or how that information is viewed

Embodiment Construction

[0038] see now figure 1 In general, a hardwired distributed process control system 10 includes one or more process controllers 12 connected to one or more host workstations or computers 14 (which may be any type of personal computer or workstation). Process controller 12 is also connected to banks of input / output (I / O) devices 20, 22, each of which in turn is connected to one or more field devices 25-39. Controller 12 (for example, it may be a DeltaV® sold by Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc. TM controller) is communicatively coupled to host computer 14 via, for example, an Ethernet connection 40 or other communication link. Likewise, the controller 12 is communicatively connected to the field devices 25-39 using any desired hardware and software associated with, for example, standard 4-20 ma devices and / or any intelligent communication protocol such as Fieldbus or HARQ protocols. As is generally known, controller 12 implements or supervises or is associated with process contro...

Abstract

A method and system configures a Device Description Language (DDL) interface on a DDL-based host system in a process plant. Using a device description identification, the system and method updates thehost system with the device description for a selected process control device. The device description includes menus for the selected process control device. The method and system expose the DDL menuconstructs from the device description to the host system, such that the host system is able to present the DDL constructs as user-selectable elements in a configuration interface, where DDL constructs may be added, deleted and / or modified to create a DDL interface independent of the menu for the process control device as provided in the device description.

Description

technical field [0001] Generally, the present disclosure relates to process control systems in process plants, and more specifically, the present disclosure relates to dynamically creating and modifying device description language menus. Background technique [0002] Process control systems have been widely used in manufacturing plants and / or plants (eg, chemical manufacturing, power plant control, etc.) that manufacture products or control processes. Process control systems are also used in the harvesting of natural resources, for example, oil and gas drilling and processing processes, among others. In fact, virtually any manufacturing process, resource harvesting process, etc. can be automated through the application of one or more process control systems. It is believed that process control systems will eventually be more widely used in agriculture as well. [0003] Process control systems, such as those used in chemical, petroleum, or other processes, typically include...
