  • AUTOMATICALLY UPDATING GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS IN A CONTROL LOOP STRATEGY DIAGRAM
    Publication number: 20140222181
    Abstract: Editing an appearance object corresponding to a control object having a plurality of attributes and displayed on a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface displays a plurality of interconnected appearance objects in a strategy diagram, where each of the plurality of interconnected appearance objects corresponds to an aspect of a control process. An appearance object is selected for editing. A pre-defined symbol from a template is selected using a graphical editor. The symbol includes either elements representing attributes of the control process or a symbol definition. The symbol replaces the appearance object in the strategy diagram. The symbol definition is modified using a symbol definition editor. The elements are modified corresponding to a desired change of an attribute of the control process.

  • Appearance objects for configuring and graphically displaying programmed/configured process control
    Publication number: 20070240069
    Abstract: Enhancements to a strategy object editor for creating and modifying control strategies for process control systems (both distributed and discrete) is described. The improvements include: supporting a set of graphical depictions for individual control object (modified by an appearance object editor), drag and drop connections for declarations that connect control strategies to other control strategies, GUI-based designation of object execution order, automatically applied line styles based upon connection data type, and automatic modification of elements within an appearance object to accommodate a moved attribute.
