Publication number: 20070124451Abstract: A system is described herein where an embedded computer method for (‘router’) is provided for full-duplex (two-way) communication between devices and/or instruments and TCP/IP-based networking. This system uses a process development component, which configures the router to communicate with a range of devices. A controller is described that can manage a collection of routers. This controller layer can reside inside the hardware or within the data-publishing layer. Each router is physically connected to devices using physical communication ports. This method offers significant improvements over prior art with respect to open architecture process, control protocols, graphical icon usage, process development, validation, execution, monitoring and messaging. The result data from the device control protocol functions are available for named complex processes and/or inter-device communication in real-time based on data decision algorithms in various formats.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2006Publication date: May 31, 2007Applicant: USERSPACE CORPORATIONInventors: Sanjaya Joshi, Rajeev Pillai
