DXS: The Distributed Control System

DXS is an automation system with a distributed architecture for hard real-time control

Connected Devices

APAT IoCT platform provides a development tool enabling devices to become connected. It is a rich platform for programming, connectivity, and management of embedded systems. This platform provides a complete toolset for visually modeling and programming the connected devices. Using Function Blocks as its building blocks, the platform allows rapid development of embedded systems’ logic and functionality. Interface to the I/Os or networks is handled through specific pre-developed and tested Function Blocks which significantly reduce the development time of the connected devices.

DXS: Configuration and Programming

DXS can be programmed via high-level function Blocks combined to form a Control Strategy. Several Control strategies are usually developed and deployed to one or several MPUs for each DXS installation. Apart from existing FBs, users and engineers can develop their own custom FBs using standard IEC 61131-3 languages. It is also possible to develop FBs using C or C++ languages. APAT Programming and Configuration Environment tool or the web-based Design Studio can be used to configure and program the DXS projects.
