ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for the automatic generation of a control process program on a computer. One illustrative embodiment, referred to as STAR-GEN, is described as it might be implemented on a general purpose computer using a suitable high-level language such as Fortran. Through a graphical user interface, STAR-GEN prompts the user for (1) system specific information, (2) problem-specific information, and (3) control process-specific information. When all of these data have been entered, STAR-GEN automatically generates a process control (source) program which is independent of a target computer platform. This source program can be transferred to a specific process control computer where it is compiled for execution using a standard, for example Fortran, compiler. A unique and beneficial aspect of the invention includes its ability to provide the user with a consistent development environment regardless of the specific hardware platform (computer) the process control program is to execute on. Another beneficial feature of the invention is that it allows a user to generate a process control program for a variety of hardware platforms without the user knowing how to program each target platform.
