Object Oriented Industrial Programming (OOIP), Part 2: Abstraction, Nesting and Interfaces

Your plant or equipment is assembled from objects – your control should be, too. New tools deliver the productivity of OOP without the complexity.

New Object Oriented Industrial Programming (OOIP) techniques deliver the productivity gains of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) while maintaining the ease-of-use and reliability required for industrial controls applications.

Part 1 of this series showed how OOIP can be used to build a plant or machine control program from a set of reusable components that mirrors the way your plant or machine is built from off-the-shelf components as shown in Figure 1. Part 2 of the series will show how blocks can build on other blocks to create large hierarchically partitioned systems and how to manage I/O and Configurations in an OOIP design.
