Disclosed are a method and apparatus for controlling and managing an industry process using an industry internet operating system. In the method, interfaces with same type of function from different manufacturers are integrated in a function interface library created over a development platform to assist a developer in programming PLC rapidly and more efficiently to address problems in the prior art of lower reuse rate of codes, degrading efficiency of programming, because the PLC has to be programmed respectively for terminals from different manufacturers. In the invention, a framework of a software defined industry process, and a unified set of industry object models are created so that various integrated heterogeneous field devices, and an industry production process to be controlled and managed can communicate and interoperate with each other in an industry internet architecture to thereby accommodate highly real-time and efficient production in a discrete industry and a process industry.
