Abstract

Example apparatus and methods to access information associated with a process control system are disclosed.

The first one of a plurality of data source interfaces is enabled to access the first datum value in the first data source. The example method also involves enabling referencing the first datum value in the first data source based on the first user-defined parameter name.
