Loop interface

A loop map system comprising:

• one or more memory devices storing:
• (i) a loop map for a plurality of control loops of a process plant, the loop map depicting a first plurality of control loop elements of a first control loop and a second plurality of control loop elements of a second control loop, wherein:
• (i) at least one of the first plurality of control loop elements is included in the second plurality of control loop elements;
• and
• (ii) the loop map depicts:
• (a) one or more control routines for controlling one or more of the first and second control loops, (b) one or more processor controllers implementing the one or more control routines, and (c) one or more communication links between the one or more process controller and one or more field devices included in one or more of the first and second control loops;
• (ii) a record of statuses associated with the plurality of control loop elements;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory;
• a display communicatively coupled to the processor;
• one or more routines stored to the one or more memory devices that, when executed by the processor, causes the loop map system to:
• (i) designate a status from the record of statuses as a control loop status;
• and
• (ii) display via the display:
• (a) the loop map depicting the plurality of control loop elements, and (b) the control loop status;
• (iii) modify one of the plurality of control loops based on a user interaction with one or more of:
• (i) the displayed control loop, or (ii) the control loop status;
• and
• (iv) control the process based, at least in part, utilizing the plurality of control loops.
