Now that GMW made this comment...time to toss this into the discussion/thoughts
that will continue for a long time...
First career was in industrial controls (robotics, automation, process
control) and designed & dealt with 'highly integrated' systems
Last career before retiring was in one of the largest computer
corporations of the world. Five concurrent hats. One was to the research labs.
One day the guys at the labs called me over to look at a EV2 proto-type.
The OEM could NOT get it to run well/reliably. Every once in a while
it flaked out and did something wacky
They had converted all the controls to JAVA scripts and connected them
all together to form a 'highly integrated' system
Tod the scientists to get a real time person...they called me... :B
Told them not going to do that for them and they found several interns
who understood and studying controls...COOL !!!
Turns out the OEM did not understand, nor had anyone who did in the
bowels of their engineering groups
There was not master/slave hierarchy...so all the computers thought
they were 'masters' or didn't listen to the others
Fixed it and the OEM killed that program anyway...as an all electric
of the 1990's was going to kill their relationships with big oil...
Back on this topic, which is smack on the above topic, is all about
how the OEM stitched in each/all the computers into the system and
how they established the master/slave relationships. On the slaves,
they too have a hierarchical tree (many sub-master) reporting back to
the singular master
If anyone of the sub-masters and/or slaves do NOT report correctly, the
whole system might go into whatever mode the software says to
Yes..."Welcome to the world of factory IBC"...
