A SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME PROCESS CONTROL

摘要

In a system for real-time process control according to the invention, a processing unit (201) running either a real-time operating system or a hybrid real-time/non real-time operating system (231, 232) acts as a real-time computation server. Actuating/sensing units (211, 212, 213) equipped with an onboard communication interface (221, 222, 223) for client-server communication, act as clients. The actuating/sensing units (211, 212, 213) thereto send messages to the processing unit (201) requesting timely evaluation of a computational task. The processing unit (201) evaluates the computational task in real-time and sends back a response to the onboard communication interface (221, 222, 223) of the requesting client.
