Abstract
A combined mode program-panel controller method for a distributed industrial process control system permits a system operator to configure the overall system architecture to control the sequential operation of the entire system or a sub-portion thereof. The program-panel controller includes a first user accessible graphic program by which the system architecture can be symbolically reconfigured and a second user accessible instruction set program by which the operating parameters of the so-configured system or a sub-portion thereof may be altered.
