Definitions
- This invention relates to process monitoring and control systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for creating a control template of a plurality of control templates, an individual control template having associated attributes, methods, and graphical views that are selected by a user to generate design process control solutions.
- Present-day process control systems use instruments, control devices and communication systems to monitor and manipulate control elements, such as valves and switches, to maintain at selected target values one or more process variables, including temperature, pressure, flow and the like.
- the process variables are selected and controlled to achieve a desired process objective, such as attaining the safe and efficient operation of machines and equipment utilized in the process.
- Process control systems have widespread application in the automation of industrial processes such as the processes used in chemical, petroleum, and manufacturing industries, for example.
- Control of the process is often implemented using microprocessor-based controllers, computers or workstations which monitor the process by sending and receiving commands and data to hardware devices to control either a particular aspect of the process or the entire process as a whole.
- the specific process control functions that are implemented by software programs in these microprocessors, computers or workstations may be individually designed, modified or changed through programming while requiring no modifications to the hardware. For example, an engineer might cause a program to be written to have the controller read a fluid level from a level sensor in a tank, compare the tank level with a predetermined desired level, and then open or close a feed valve based on whether the read level was lower or higher than the predetermined, desired level.
- the parameters are easily changed by displaying a selected view of the process and then by modifying the program using the selected view.
- the engineer typically would change parameters by displaying and modifying an engineer's view of the process.
- software programs also monitor and display a view of the processes, providing feedback in the form of an operator's display or view regarding the status of particular processes.
- the monitoring software programs also signal an alarm when a problem occurs.
- Some programs display instructions or suggestions to an operator when a problem occurs.
- the operator who is responsible for the control process needs to view the process from his point of view.
- a display or console is typically provided as the interface between the microprocessor based controller or computer performing the process control function and the operator and also between the programmer or engineer and the microprocessor based controller or computer performing the process control function.
- Systems that perform, monitor, control, and feed back functions in process control environments are typically implemented by software written in high-level computer programming languages such as Basic, Fortran or C and executed on a computer or controller.
- high-level languages although effective for process control programming, are not usually used or understood by process engineers, maintenance engineers, control engineers, operators and supervisors.
- Higher level graphical display languages have been developed for such personnel, such as continuous function block and ladder logic.
- each of the engineers, maintenance personnel, operators, lab personnel and the like require a graphical view of the elements of the process control system that enables them to view the system in terms relevant to their responsibilities.
- a process control program might be written in Fortran and require two inputs, calculate the average of the inputs and produce an output value equal to the average of the two inputs.
- This program could be termed the AVERAGE function and may be invoked and referenced through a graphical display for the control engineers.
- a typical graphical display may consist of a rectangular block having two inputs, one output, and a label designating the block as AVERAGE.
- a different program may be used to create a graphical representation of this same function for an operator to view the average value.
- these software programs are placed into a library of predefined user selectable features. The programs are identified by function blocks.
- a user may then invoke a function and select the predefined graphical representations to create different views for the operator, engineer, etc. by selecting one of a plurality of function blocks from the library for use in defining a process control solution rather than having to develop a completely new program in Fortran, for example.
- a group of standardized functions, each designated by an associated function block, may be stored in a control library.
- a designer equipped with such a library can design process control solutions by interconnecting, on a computer display screen, various functions or elements selected with the function blocks to perform particular tasks.
- the microprocessor or computer associates each of the functions or elements defined by the function blocks with predefined templates stored in the library and relates each of the program functions or elements to each other according to the interconnections desired by the designer.
- a designer could design an entire process control program using graphical views of predefined functions without ever writing one line of code in Fortran or other high-level programming language.
- New process control functions are designed primarily by companies who sell design systems and not by the end users who may have a particular need for a function that is not a part of the standard set of functions supplied by the company.
- the standardized functions are contained within a control library furnished with the system to the end user.
- the end user must either utilize existing functions supplied with the design environment or rely on the company supplying the design environment to develop any desired particular customized function for them. If the designer is asked to modify the parameters of the engineer's view, then all other views using those parameters have to be rewritten and modified accordingly because the function program and view programs are often developed independently and are not part of an integrated development environment. Clearly, such procedure is very cumbersome, expensive, and time-consuming. What is needed is a uniform or universal design environment that can easily be used, not only by a designer or manufacturer but also a user, to customize an existing solution to meet his specific needs for developing process control functions.
- a process control environment may be easily and quickly configured or modified by providing a control studio object system which includes a stencil portion (which is also referred to as a palette portion) having stencil items conforming to algorithms and a diagram portion to which the stencil items may be copied via a drag and drop operation.
- the stencil items are objects which contain all of the information required by a diagram portion to create an object that contains all of the information necessary to program the process control environment, the completed diagram portion reflects the actual configuration of the process control environment. It has also been discovered that providing the stencil items as objects allows the diagrammed environment to be installed directly to nodes without requiring the diagram to be compiled or rewritten in a language conforming to the node.
- the invention relates to a method for configuring a process control environment, the process control environment including a computer system having a processor coupled to a display device.
- the method includes the steps of: presenting, on the display device, a stencil view including a module object, the module object representing a process control module; presenting, on the display device, a process control environment view, the process control environment view representing the process control environment configuration; dragging the module object from the stencil view to the process control environment view; dropping the module object on the process control environment view in a position indicative of a location of the process control module in the process control environment, and, configuring the process control environment in accordance with the process control environment view.
- the described design environment enables a process control designer or user to modify a standard process control function or create a unique customized process control function and create the graphical views to be associated with the modified or newly created process control function, all within a common environment.
- the design environment includes a common interface for both the creation of the function and for its associated engineers, operators, lab and maintenance personnel or other desired users such that when the engineer's function is modified or created, the modification or creation manifests itself in all other graphical views of the function.
- the design environment has a common database structure of attributes and methods and the graphics associated with the process control function to allow modified or created process control functions to be represented in whatever graphical methodology that is desired or required by the designer, whether by ladder logic, continuous function block or other design languages required by the various engineer, operator, lab, and maintenance personnel as other desired graphical views.

- the control template library 123 contains data representing sets of predefined or existing control template functions for use in process control programs.
- the control template functions are the templates that generally come with the system from the system designer to the user.
- the template generator 124 is an interface that advantageously allows a user to create new control template functions or modify existing control template functions. The created and modified template functions are selectively stored in the control template library 123.
- the template generator 124 includes an attributes and methods language generator 126 and a graphics generator 128.
- the attributes and methods language generator 126 supplies display screens that allow the user to define a plurality of attribute functions associated with the creation of a new control template function or modification of a particular existing control template function, such as inputs, outputs, and other attributes, as well as providing display screens for enabling the user to select methods or programs that perform the new or modified function for the particular control template.

- a schematic block diagram illustrates a hierarchical relationship among system objects of a configuration model 300.
- the configuration model 300 includes many configuration aspects including control, I/O, process graphics, process equipment, alarms, history and events.
- the configuration model 300 also includes a device description and network topology layout.
- the configuration model hierarchy 300 is defined for usage by a particular set of users for visualizing system object relationships and locations and for communicating or navigating maintenance information among various system objects.
- one configuration model hierarchy 300 specifically a physical plant hierarchy, is defined for usage by maintenance engineers and technicians for visualizing physical plant relationships and locations and for communicating or navigating maintenance information among various instruments and equipment in a physical plant.
- An embodiment of a configuration model hierarchy 300 that forms a physical plant hierarchy supports a subset of the SP88 physical equipment standard hierarchy and includes a configuration model site 310, one or more physical plant areas 320, equipment modules 330 and control modules 340.
- the configuration model hierarchy 300 is defined for a single process site 310 which is divided into one or more named physical plant areas 320 that are defined within the configuration model hierarchy 300.
- the physical plant areas 320 optionally contain tagged modules, each of which is uniquely instantiated within the configuration model hierarchy 300.
- a physical plant area 320 optionally contains one or more equipment modules 330.
- An equipment module 330 optionally contains other equipment modules 330, control modules 340 and function blocks.
- An equipment module 330 includes and is controlled by a control template that is created according to one of a number of different graphical process control programming languages including continuous function block, ladder logic, or sequential function charting ("SFC").
- the configuration model hierarchy 300 optionally contains one or more control modules 340.

- a control module 340 optionally contains objects such as other control modules 340 or function blocks.
- the Control Studio object system 130 enables a user to add objects to diagrams, drag and drop objects between diagrams and third party applications, cut and paste objects between diagrams and other applications and install process control environments depicted by the diagrams having the objects to the process control environment.
- the main control window of the control studio object system 130 includes textual pull down menus 402, pictographic menu 404. a stencil portion presentation 406 and a diagram portion screen presentation 408. Stencil items 420 are displayed within the stencil portion presentation 406.
- the user's diagram of the process control environment design is presented in the diagram portion screen presentation. This diagram of the process control design environment is referred to as the process control environment view.
- Each of the presentations in the main window is re-sizable and relocatable by the user in accordance with known windowing techniques.
- the Control Studio system 130 tracks the location and size of the panes of the main window by maintaining persistent object data including coordinates within the two-dimensional display, as well as style and other information.
- Control studio object system 130 When designing a process control environment, a user simply actuates a stencil item from the stencil portion presentation 408, drags the actuated stencil item to a desired location within the diagram portion screen presentation 408 and drops the actuated stencil item in a desired location.
- Control studio object system 130 then creates a diagram item that allows the diagram to create an object with all of the information necessary for configuring a process control environment. Because the stencil items are objects which include all of the necessary information for the diagram to configure a process control environment, when the process control environment design is completed within the diagram portion, this design may be directly downloaded to the appropriate portions of the process control environment.
- FIG. 5a the process of installing a completed process control diagram to a node is shown. More specifically, as shown in Figure 5a, when a user wishes to install a process control diagram to a node, the user selects the Install to Node item from the File menu. The choices presented to the user are whether to install the entire module or just the changes since the last install operation was performed. When the user selects install entire module, a window is presented that informs the user that the module has not been assigned to a node and asking whether the user wishes to install the module to a node. (See Figure 5b.)
- the process control environment 100 and specifically, the control studio object system 130, is implemented using an object-oriented framework.
- An object-oriented framework uses object-oriented concepts such as class hierarchies, object states and object behavior. These concepts, which are briefly discussed below, are well known in the art.
- the present object-oriented framework is written using the object-oriented C++ programming language, which is well-known in the art.
- the building block of an object-oriented framework is an object.
- An object is defined by a state and a behavior.
- the state of an object is set forth by fields of the object.
- the behavior of an object is set forth by methods of the object.
- Each object is an instance of a class, which provides a template for the object.
- a class defines zero or more fields and zero or more methods.
- Fields are data structures which contain information defining object data or a portion of the state of an object. Objects which are instances of the same class have the same fields. However, the particular information contained within the fields of the objects can vary from object to object. Each field can contain information that is direct, such as an integer value, or indirect, such as a reference to another object.
- a method is a collection of computer instructions which can be executed in processor 116 by computer system software.
- the instructions of a method are executed, i.e., the method is performed, when software requests that the object for which the method is defined perform the method.
- a method can be performed by any object that is a member of the class that includes the method.
- the particular object performing the method is the responder or the responding object.
- the responder consumes one or more arguments, i.e., input data, and produces zero or one result, i.e., an object returned as output data.
- the methods for a particular object define the behavior of that object.
- Classes of an object-oriented framework are organized in a class hierarchy.
- a class inherits the fields and methods which are defined by the superclasses of that class.
- the fields and methods defined by a class are inherited by any subclasses of the class. I.e., an instance of a subclass includes the fields defined by the superclass and can perform the methods defined by the superclass. Accordingly, when a method of an object is called, the method that is accessed may be defined in the class of which the object is a member or in any one of the superclasses of the class of which the object is a member.
- process control environment 100 selects the method to run by examining the class of the object and, if necessary, any superclasses of the object.
- a subclass may override or supersede a method definition which is inherited from a superclass to enhance or change the behavior of the subclass.
- a subclass may not supersede the signature of the method.
- the signature of a method includes the method's identifier, the number and type of arguments, whether a result is returned, and, if so, the type of the result.
- the subclass supersedes an inherited method definition by redefining the computer instructions which are carried out in performance of the method.
- Classes which are capable of having instances are concrete classes. Classes which cannot have instances are abstract classes. Abstract classes may define fields and methods which are inherited by subclasses of the abstract classes. The subclasses of an abstract class may be other abstract classes; however, ultimately, within the class hierarchy, the subclasses are concrete classes.
- control studio object system 130 is implemented using the Foundation classes version 4.0 of the Microsoft developers kit for Visual C++ for Windows NT version 3.51.
- control studio object system 130 includes a plurality of classes which descend from and are related to the foundation class CMDIChildWnd 602.
- Class CMdeMDIChildWnd 604 descends from class CMDIChildWnd 602.

More specifically, when a user wishes to install a process control diagram to a node, the user selects the Install to Node item from the File menu. Based upon user input, object system 130 then determines whether to install the entire module or just the changes since the last install operation was performed. When the user selects install entire module and the module has not yet been assigned to a node, object system 130 informs the user that the module has not been assigned to a node and asks whether the user wishes to install the module to a node. Object system 130 the presents the user with a list of nodes from which the user may select the appropriate node for configuring.
- object system 130 After the user selects the node for configuring, object system 130 presents the user with a window confirming whether the user wishes to update the module. Object system 130 then requests the user to name the module. After the user selects or generates a name, object system 130 asks the user whether the user is sure that the user wishes to perform the install procedure. By answering yes, the control studio object system 130 automatically performs the install operation by downloading the information stored within the database to the selected module.
