International Classification:

G06F 9/445

US Classification:

717174, 717175, 717176, 717177

Abstract:

A method is disclosed, in a supervisory process control system environment, for installing supervisory process control software from a central software deployment server. The software distribution method includes the step of first specifying a software component for a supervisory process control application to be deployed to a remote location and a destination for the software component based upon a distributed application configuration. A software component is conditionally transmitted to the remote supervisory control computer, after the determining step, if the software component for the supervisory process control application is not present at the remote location.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention include a system and method capable of generating an operations management interface enabling monitoring of distributed components of a process control application. The operations management interface can include a customizable display enabling operators to prepare decisions based on a context-based three-dimensional representation of the distributed components. The operations management interface display includes controls for manipulating graphically displayed representations of data rendered by the distributed components, and an interface for exchanging requests and data through data links to one or more distributed data-linked components. Some selectable displayed information in the operations management interface window can include locations, interconnection layout and hierarchy, and specifications, and datasheets of distributed components.
