Abstract
A pseudo determinism control subsystem for event-driven integration framework of a controller system with application relative to various parameters such as, for instance, energy consumption. Pseudo determinism, near real time and/or direct digital control combined with event driven control along with strong security and high speed throughout the controller system.
Claims20
A system controller comprising:
- an event-driven software framework stored in memory;
- a direct digital control module integrated on the event-driven software framework;
- a web-server connected to the direct digital control module and including a hardware processor;
- a remote communication connector connected to the web-server and the software framework;
- a multi-port switch having a port connected to the remote communication connector;
- a first secure serial communication module connected to the software framework;
- a first encryption file system connected to the secure serial communication module;
- and
- a physical input/output (JO) subsystem connected to the secure serial communication module.
6 more elements
A controller system comprising:
- an event-driven software framework stored in a memory;
- a live view wire sheet connected to the software framework;
- a function block engine situated in the software framework, and wherein when a function block is dragged on a screen in the software framework and once the function block is dropped on the screen, the function block is alive;
- a web server in the software framework and including a hardware processor connected to a first serial communication component;
- a communication channel that connects to the first serial communication component to a second serial communication component;
- one or more hand-off-auto (HOA) switches connected to one or more of the second serial communication component, the communication channel, the first serial communication component, and the web server;
- and
- a physical IO subsystem connected to the second serial communication component.
5 more elements
A method for controlling signals, comprising:
- implementing a web server on a hardware processor, and a direct digital control component or function block engine with a software structure stored in a memory;
- and
- installing a secure communications network between the software structure and an JO system;
- and
- wherein the JO system comprises one or more items selected from a group containing a microset driver, a physical JO subsystem, an RS485 driver, a two-wire polarity insensitive driver, a status indicator, and an HOA switch panel.
