Embodiment Construction

[0047] now refer to figure 1 Plant 10 includes one or more process controllers 12 connected to a plurality of workstations 14 via, for example, an Ethernet connection or bus 15 . Controller 12 is also connected to devices or equipment within plant 10 via a combination of communication lines or bus 18, figure 1 Only the combination of communication lines 18 is shown connected to the controller 12a. can be achieved by using only the DeltaV sold by Fisher-Rosemount Systems TM The controller implements a controller 12 capable of communicating with, for example, field devices distributed in the plant 10 and control elements of function blocks in the field devices in order to execute one or more process control routines 19, The desired control of the plant 10 is thereby achieved. One or more configuration engineers may use workstation 14 (which may be, for example, a personal computer) to design process control routines 19 to be executed by controller 12 and display routines to...

Abstract

A version control system helps to keep track of versions of process plant items that may represent, or be capable of representing, entities in a process plant. The process plant items may comprise, for example, module objects which may be capable of specifically representing process entities of the process plant. These module objects may be created from module class objects which may be capable of generically representing process entities of the process plant. Version data is stored and associated with a module object. The version data may comprise data indicative of a version of a module class object that was used to create the module object. The version data may also comprise data indicative of a version of the module object. Configuration systems, version control systems, viewing systems, debugging systems, run-time monitoring systems, asset management systems, etc., may examine or permit viewing of the version control data associated with an item.
