Abstract :
A real-time system has been developed for the monitoring and control of batch dyeing processes. The system, though developed for batch dyeing, is a generic data acquisition and control tool compliant with POSIX (IEEE 1003.4) and other standards. The system allows for the rapid prototyping of general real-time data acquisition and control systems, while supporting a rich set of development tools to enable networking, window-based applications programming, and object-oriented programming. Currently, the system combines a real-time multitasking operating system with full TCP/IP networking support. Using a VMEbus backplane, the system can also support multiple CPUs and full bus arbitration. Various drivers have been written to enable A/D, D/A, DIG, GPIB, SCSI, as well as serial and parallel communication (RS232)
