Abstract

Control applications have many requirements not provided by commercialoperating systems. This paper describes the characteristics and usage of an environmentfor hosting process-control applications, which is implemented on a commercialoperating system. It is called Unified Real Time (URT) platform, and is intended forapplications that are large or complex and that may involve dynamic configuration,flexible scheduling, complex organization, etc. This paper also demonstrates the structureof a typical Advanced Control Application (ACA) designed under URT.
