Claim 13:
14. The industrial distributed process control system of claim 1, wherein:
the DCS further includes an initial set of support functions that has been stored on the one or more tangible, non-transitory memories of the set of pluggable DCS hardware modules prior to an initialization of the DCS;
each support function of the initial set of support functions operates on at least some data generated by the set of pluggable DCS hardware modules during the run-time operations of the industrial process plant;
the initial set of support functions includes at least one of: a signal processing function, an alarming function, a history function, a trend function, a diagnostic function, a descriptive analytics function, a predictive analytics function, a machine learning function, a reinforced learning function, a bus function, or a user interface function; and
the industrial distributed process control system further comprises a support function generation routine that is stored on the one or more tangible, non-transitory memories of the set of pluggable DCS hardware modules and that automatically generates an additional support function based on the initial set of support functions and the plant information model.
