Embodiment Construction

[0019]The method and apparatus of the present disclosure provide an improved software application system integration process for the supervision equipment of the industrial automation system. The stand-alone application container is a product of a disposable system integrated, rather than a separate system integrated by a modular application of each target system platform. This avoids problems caused by the inherent differences of each target system platform, as the disclosed container-based deployment procedure requires only a single integration that is independent of the final target operating system platform. The visitor operating system components are introduced to include in a stand-alone application container, where the visitor operating system is independent of the platform of the target operating system. The visitor operating system of each container can be generated as a separate layer during the development phase of the application platform, and the container is ready to...

Abstract

A system and method for supervisory and control support in an industrial automation system, including a supervisory device with a software stack having a host operating system and a plurality of independent application containers. Each container includes a modular application platform being associated with a base functionality for the supervisory device and a guest operating system layer integrated with the modular application platform according to a system integration. A one-time integration of system dependencies is executed during development of the container. The independent application containers are portable for direct deployment in an operating system of a type different than that of the host operating system and can run unchanged without requiring any change to component artifacts.

Description

Technical field [0001] This application relates to automation control. More specifically, the present application relates to a supervision device deploying a separate application container for an automated control program. Background technique [0002] In the industrial automation industry, complex systems such as monitoring and data acquisition (SCADA) are typically deployed to monitor and support industrial or manufacturing processes involving various levels of control systems, which controlled by multi-purpose programmable logic control. Equipment (PLC), embedded edge device, header gateway, human-machine interface (HMI) panel, industrial control computer (PC), local server and cloud infrastructure equipment and other equipment. Such a control system can monitor and support the physical system of field devices such as conveyor belts, robotics, and various sensors that monitor industries or manufacturing processes. In order to facilitate monitoring, the supervisory equipment is...
