Abstract
An integrated unitary internet protocol (IP) control system with a rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP), multi-port high speed switch, supervisor, web display and/or an expansion plant input/output (IO) capabilities. The system may have communication modules associated with encrypted file subsystems integrated with an IO network. A resulting secure IP based communication network may be connected between a software framework and the hardware IO network.
Claims15
An integrated network internet protocol (IP) control system comprising:
- a software framework;
- a hardware input/output (IO) subsystem connected to the software framework;
- a direct digital control (DDC) subsystem connected to the hardware IO subsystem;
- and
- a secure IP based communication network connected between the software framework and the hardware IO subsystem, the secure IP based communication network having a speed capability of at least one Gbps;
- a function block engine situated at and connected to the software framework;
- an IO network;
- and
- a communication network connected to the software framework and the IO network, the communication network comprising:
- a first serial communications module having a first encrypted file system associated with the software framework;
- and
- a second serial communications module having a second encrypted file system associated with the IO network;
- an HOA switch board;
- a HOA driver connected to the second encrypted file system that permits a signal of the HOA driver go to the software framework, which via a wire sheet enables the function block engine to perform an action according to the signal of the HOA driver;
- and
- wherein the software framework comprises event-driven software.
