Desenvolvimento de uma plataforma de controle configurável e de código portável para transmissores digitais em processos industriais

Abstract

This work proposes a platform with open and free code to standardize the configuration and programming of industrial devices. The platform is bounded to a virtual machine designed to embedded systems with low computational costs. The platform will allow manufactures and researchers build standard configuration and programming interfaces, with the advantage of implementing customized algorithms that may contribute to optimize productive processes reducing energy and supplies. The costs to implement open standards by each manufacture will be minimized. The manufactures could concentrate efforts on specific device behavior instead of standard, offering lower cost and more flexible hardware devices. Finally, technical training for maintenance and expansion of industrial processes will be easier.
