Abstract

The subject invention relates to a system and methodology facilitating automated manufacturing processes in an industrial controller environment, wherein a system is provided for automated industrial processing in one aspect. The system includes a processor that determines a plurality of attributes of a class-based recipe in order to facilitate various automated industrial control operations. A rules component resolves how the attributes are applied by the processor to the automated industrial control operations. The rules component can include a binding component that may also include a binding requirements component and a binding preferences component that are utilized to process the attributes.
