Abstract

A method of generating control code for an industrial plant comprises: defining control logic for controlling the industrial plant by editing a cause-and-effect matrix provided by an engineering tool, wherein the defining comprises defining both instrument-based control logic and service-based control logic using the same cause-and-effect matrix; and generating the control code for controlling the industrial plant on the basis of the defined control logic.
