Yes, there is a strong attempt to design a self-aware object oriented control system design toolset.
Listmember Bob Pawley has been trying to bring it to market for several years, and is now quite close to having a functional program for alpha testing by users. He expects to have alphatest ready versions of Instrument Design Works in 60 days.
We expect that some of you listmembers might want to sign up to be alpha testers, and then beta testers for this software.
By using object oriented design, he has been able to produce a tool that he estimates will drop the cost of producing a control loop from $100 per loop to about $6 per loop. What Bob's tool does is to automate the production of loops.
I got involved with IDW several months ago, and have been assisting Bob in bringing this product to market.

Since it is in the pre-sales stage, we'd love comments and ideas on "it has to have" features.
Best,
