ABSTRACT:
Inter-operability of products connected together to form an industrial control system is determined by defining each product as a set of services describing points of interface between the products and by determining complementary services necessary for inter-operability from a table listing complementary services. A new product may be evaluated for inter-operability by comparing its services to services of products with which inter-operability is desired. In one mode of operation after definition of the products in which inter-operability is desired, a necessary list of services is compiled from a database and translated by a relationship map to complementary services which define a virtual product having the desired inter-operability. Inter-operability of an entire control system may be thus modeled prior to construction.
