Abstract

A computer-implemented method for creating software objects in a process control system. The method is performed by a processing tool. The method includes creating a process object in the process control system, the process object having at least two aspects. The method includes instantiating at least one instance of the process object in the process control system. The process object is defined by a control device object type having at least two aspects. The control device object type inherits at least one aspect of the at least two aspects from a control object type and inherits at least one other aspect of the at least two aspects from a device object type. There is also provided a processing tool, a computer program, and a computer program product.
