Distributed Control System with Web Remote Access

A distributed control system which can control several actor nodes based on the identification by RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification). In the same LAN (Local Area Network) there can be several identification and actor nodes. The configuration is done using Internet or mobile communications using a web browser. In addition it allows maintenance, diagnosis and firmware-updates.

The multilingual user interface is implemented according to the MVC (Model-View-Control) pattern, the application and the server run resource-optimized on a uCLinux system.

Challenge

Development of a robust system with distributed database, BIST (Built-IN-Self-Test) and plug-and-play installation (auto-configuration of the nodes)

Result: Customer Benefit

Complete solution from specification through architecture, implementation and test from one source

Technologies/ Capabilities

U-Boot, uCLinux
C++, STL, XMLRPC, XML for the application
HTML and CSS, embedded web server and ClearSilver for the display
