Abstract
The invention provides, methods, systems and computer program products that enable generation of executable sequential function charts, for subsequent retrieval and implementation by a process control system. In an embodiment, generating an executable sequential function chart comprises (i) receiving equipment selection data representing a selected equipment for implementing operating functions within a sequence flow, (ii) receiving operation data representing a set of operating functions intended to be implemented by the selected equipment, (iii) assigning values to one or more configuration parameters, (iv) receiving control statement data representing a set of control statements intended to be implemented for process flow control during implementation of the set of operating functions, (v) assigning values to one or more control statement configuration parameters, and generating machine readable SEBOL program code for implementing the set of operating functions.
