Embodiment Construction

[0245]FIG. 1 depicts a digital data processing system of the type with which apparatus and methods according to the invention may be practiced. The illustrated system is particularly adapted for use in connection with process control, as discussed further below. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that apparatus and methods according to the invention can be used in connection with other control systems. In this regard, processes 12A, 12B can represent any industrial, manufacturing, service, environmental or other process, device or system amenable to monitoring or control (hereinafter, collectively, “control”).

[0246] The system of FIG. 1 includes a workstation 11 that is coupled to one or more controllers 10A, 10B on which reside process control systems for monitoring and / or controlling one or more processes 12A, 12B. These may represent independent processes or different aspects of the same or related processes. Moreover, the processes 12A, 12B may reside within a si...

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for configuring process, environmental, industrial and other control systems generate and/or utilize models representing configurations of control systems and/or the systems controlled by them. Records of changes to the models or the configurations represented by them are maintained, thereby, for example, providing bases for determining current states, prior states and histories of changes. Objects in the model have characteristics, such as an object type characteristic and an area characteristic. Users can have corresponding permissions. A security mechanism apparatus controls access by users to the objects. Composite objects are defined by definition objects and are displayed in encapsulated or expanded formats. Objects can include an edit control type identifier that determines how they are presented for editing. Functionality responds to user commands by transferring characteristics of a first object depicted by the graphical user interface to a second object. Configuration-time formulas contained objects are evaluated to constants prior to downloading to the control system.
