Global process control information system and process control method (GLOBAL PROCESS CONTROL INFORMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD)

摘要

The process control display program receives inputs in the form of alphanumeric process control statements (136, 138). The alphanumeric statements are parsed into component child units and the graphic icons 160-170 corresponding to these child units are displayed on the display screen 116 in an internally connected network or in a pattern corresponding to the phrase association of the child unit making the statement to be displayed, . The change or flow of live data is depicted by changing the visible characteristics or colors of the icons 160,162 and the internal connection network provides a graphical representation of alphanumeric statements that can be widely understood globally by the user.
