Patterns for distributed machine control systems
Article No.: 6, Pages 1 - 15
Abstract
Control systems are getting more and more complex and include growing number of features. The control systems are nowadays software controlled to high degree. All features of the machine, however, are not useful for all customers and customers do not want to pay for the features they do not need. The product, the work machine, needs to be tailored to fit the customer's needs. However, tailoring the product for each customer is not an option as there would be too many control system software versions and configurations of the control system and for example updating the control system software would became impossible. In this paper, we will present three patterns for control systems to help in addressing the aforementioned problems. These patterns generate software architecture that supports varying the control system for different customer needs.

Human machine interface patterns for distributed machine control systems
EuroPLoP '12: Proceedings of the 17th European Conference on Pattern Languages of ProgramsAs the control systems are becoming complex and there is more and more information that is handled in the system, the need for graphical user interfaces providing good user experience increases. Human machine interface (HMI) in the control system has ...
Messaging patterns for distributed machine control systems
EuroPLoP '11: Proceedings of the 16th European Conference on Pattern Languages of ProgramsOne of the main characteristics of distributed machine control systems is communication over bus such as CAN. In many cases communication must support real time operations and therefore messaging through bus introduces new problem areas in the design. ...
Fault tolerance patterns for distributed machine control systems
EuroPLoP '10: Proceedings of the 15th European Conference on Pattern Languages of ProgramsWhen designing distributed machine control systems, developers and architects need to often tackle with fault tolerance issues. There are already some patterns available to help in the design process. However, while we carried out architectural ...
