A process control system comprising:
- an associating section that associates a function block to be used in another process control system with a data item including process data, as data on a same rank as the data item;
- a definition-information generating section that generates definition information of the function block to be associated with the data item, depending upon OPC browse information;
- an information-processing executing section that executes a predetermined information processing by use of the association performed by the associating section and the definition information generated by the definition-information generating section;
- and
- a template generating section that generates a template defining a set of function blocks to be used in the other process control system, depending upon the OPC browse information,
- wherein the definition-information generating section generates the definition information by looking up the template.
