object: 1. An entity that has state, behavior, and identity. [ISA-TR50.02, Part 9 2000] 2. In object-oriented programming (OOP), a single structure that comprises a data structure definition and its defined procedures.
object code: 1. The machine code that can be directly executed by the computer. It is produced as a result of the translation of the source code. 2. A relocatable machine-language code.
object dictionary: An object dictionary (OD) contains all the function block (FB), resource block (RB), and transducer block (TB) parameters used in a device. Through these parameters, the blocks may be accessed over the fieldbus network.
objective variable: A quantity or condition that is not measured directly for the purpose of controlling it but is rather controlled through its relation to another, controlled variable.
object language: A language that is the output of an automatic coding routine. Usually, object language and machine language are the same. However, a series of steps in an automatic coding system may involve the object language of one step serving as a source language for the next step and so forth.
object linking and embedding (OLE): In computers, a database feature of the Microsoft Windows and Windows NT environments that treats data as a collection of objects to be shared by applications that support the OLE specification. OLE enables several applications to be linked to accomplish a given task. It also allows the user to keep information current across several software applications simply by changing the information in one of them.
