Control system for industrial plants

Abstract

It is provided a control system (1) for industrial plant (10), the industrial plant (10) comprising a plurality of industrial devices (11), comprising sensors and/or data-emitting devices, and one or more connections to the outside world for the communication of data output from sensors and/or data-emitting devices, the control system (1) being characterized by the fact that it includes: a plurality of endpoints (2), each comprising a microprocessor and a computer-like memory, said endpoint (2) being connected to an industrial device (11) and being configured to communicate with the industrial device (11) and receive data output and transmit information and commands, a coordinating device (3) comprising a microprocessor and computer-type memory, the coordinating device (3) being connected to said plurality of endpoints (2), a control processor (4) comprising a microprocessor and a computer-type memory, and configured to enable the centralized management of the control system (1) and the industrial plant (10) by means of an easily intuitive and understandable interface, to transform said data from the industrial devices (11) into human readable data at run-time, the control processor (4) being connected, within the control system (1), exclusively to the coordinating device (3).
