ABSTRACT:
An architecture for control systems including multiple control devices. The control devices include standardized software objects having functions, application programs for engaging these functions and thereby defining the operation of the control devices, and an engine for executing the application programs. The standardized software objects implement different types of internal functions for the control devices and feature reference numbering and function calls shared in common with the other software objects of the same type that may be on different control devices across said system. The software application programs include standardized instructions reflecting the reference numbering and function calls shared across the system by the said software objects whose functions are used in building the functionality of the control devices in the application programs.
