Abstract
An interface or display routine is provided for use in viewing and configuring a function block that performs integrated optimization and control within a process control system. The interface routine may enable a user to view or configure variables, values or other parameters associated with the integrated optimization and control block within the process control system. For example, the interface routine may display the current operating state of the integrated function block, may enable a user to select inputs and output of the function block for use in providing integrated optimization and control, may enable a user to select a particular or desired optimization function for use in the function block, etc. The interface routine may also display the multiple input output curves associated with the optimizer and the controller sections of the integrated function block in a manner that provides ease of view and selection of these curves as part of the algorithm used by the integrated function block.
