1. An advanced equipment control system, comprising:

  • a development environment further comprising a database configuration tool and a control application development tool, said database configuration tool and said control application development tool each including a processor means for defining and then subsequently generating an inherent output composed of a plurality of inherent relationships of a plurality of remote control devices associated with a system to be controlled via an object lattice space and a configuration output composed of at least one practical configuration of functional relationships among said plurality of remote control devices wherein each processor means also includes display means;

    a runtime environment including memory means for receiving the inherent output and the configuration output wherein said runtime environment further comprises a control execution environment further comprising;

    a logical processor coupled to the processor means;

    an operating system resident within the logical processor;

    a control-oriented object lattice bearing a logical synthesis output generated by said logical processor in cooperation with the processor means of the respective outputs from the development environment and the runtime environment; and

    ,a plurality of output signals responsive to the logical synthesis output; and

    wherein the remote control devices are continuously coupled to the control execution environment and operated in response to the logical synthesis.
