This distributed framework uses several types of Java/JVM's, including Embedded/RT-Java.<br>
Objectives for the control side was emphasis on high reliability and scalability, but also had to enable easy integration of a large variety of motion controllers and process control devices in an easily extensible manner. <br>
The data acquisition side needed a highly scalable data transmission and storage system for 1MM+ I/O updates/second. In addition, objectives was enabling integration of external software components and libraries into finished end-user applications.<br>
I was responsible for the software architecture and the technical leadership in this $20+ Million, 50+ man year project, being used in production since 2007.<br>
Along with the system architecture, I was in charge of the design and partial implementation of the realtime control components, factory interface, Interface A development, data acquisition, etc. <br>
