Abstract
A system for, and method of, constructing an Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) for Process Control (OPC) compliant data server from a device-specific noncompliant user application and a real-time process control system employing the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a generic OPC compliant interface object and (2) a template associated with the generic OPC compliant interface object. The template is modifiable and combinable with a device-specific interface portion to yield the device-specific noncompliant user application. The device-specific noncompliant user application is dynamically linkable with and aggregates to the generic OPC compliant interface object to yield the OPC compliant data server.
