Abstract

A computer controller (10) and method of operating the same for controlling industrial process control equipment (16) which uses a language structure and data specifically adapted for use in constructing computer programs for controlling chemical and physical processing. A translator converts to compilable code programs written as statements expressing control intentions or results. Provisions are made for implementing discrete variables using natural language statements, for assigning values to the discrete variables and for performing conditional execution statements using the discrete variables in natural language format.
