FIELD DEVICE MANAGEMENT APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A field device management apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of COM in-process servers, each of which acquires and manages device data related to a corresponding one of field devices; and
a launch-program COM in-process server that stores a launch-program, the launch-program activating and closing an instance in each of the plurality of COM in-process servers, the launch-program preventing four different functions from being executed directly by an OS in the plurality of COM in-process servers, andwherein the plurality of COM in-process servers are initialized on the Microsoft Windows operating system to generate COM objects in different memory spaces.

8. A field device management apparatus comprising:
-
a client server including a client program; a first COM in-process server that acquires and manages device data related to a first field device, the first COM in-process server including a first COM instance; a second COM in-process server that acquires and manages device data related to a second field device, the second COM in-process server including a second COM instance; and a launch-program COM in-process server that stores a launch-program, the launch-program preventing four different functions from being executed in the first and second COM in-process servers, and wherein the first COM in-process server is initialized on the Microsoft Windows operating system to generate first COM objects in a first memory space in the first COM instance, and the second COM in-process server is initialized on the Microsoft Windows operating system to generate second COM objects in a second memory space in the second COM instance, the first memory space being different from the second memory space. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
