The successful implementation of control systems for continuous or batch processes starts with good design. While there are many possible ways to approach the design effort, the best result should blend appropriate quantities of tried-and-true methods with value-adding emerging technologies.
While object-oriented design may no longer be considered an emerging technology, it is nonetheless treated as a newcomer in the process control field. The purpose of this white paper is to describe the many benefits of utilizing object-oriented design principals in the design of a modern process control solution.
