Open System for Integrating and managing computer-based components representing a specific functionality of a specific application
First Claim
1. An open system for integrating and managing computer-based components representing a specific functionality of a determined application, this determined application being in particular intended to ensure the operation, supervision and control of machines connected to a computer-based network of TCP/IP Ethernet type within distributed and heterogeneous industrial installations, this system comprising a computer-based core comprising:
- a standard context for integrating the computer-based components into the determined application,an integration protocol, common to the components, comprising instantiation and loading means intended to catalogue, select and assign the computer-based components to the realization of functional objectives of the determined application, andconnection means intended to establish connections and to control message flows between the computer-based components.
