Abstract

The paper presents a novel architecture based on frequent utilization of PDAs and mobile phones as human machine interface (HMI) in controlling various systems. There are two main considerations discussed. One is with regards to real-time constraints in the context of industrial process control. The second is the possibility of transferring some tasks from the process controller towards the Android device (tablet or smart phone). Therefore, after analyzing the current implementations together with their limitations, we designed an evaluation framework. The main goal of the new structure will be to analyze the limitations of balancing processing load between process controller and Android device's resources. The structure is comprised of a cheap Android tablet connected to an embedded module via an USB cable. The embedded module has as his core a state-of-art ARM Cortex M4F processor for industrial applications. The proposed solution provides the advantages derived from both components. The implementation required driver development, considerations which are also presented briefly.

在自动化系统中嵌入Android设备

本文提出了一种基于pda和手机作为人机界面(HMI)来控制各种系统的新架构。这里讨论了两个主要考虑因素。一个是关于工业过程控制背景下的实时约束。第二个是将一些任务从过程控制器转移到Android设备(平板电脑或智能手机)的可能性。因此，在分析了当前的实现及其局限性之后，我们设计了一个评估框架。新结构的主要目标是分析在进程控制器和Android设备资源之间平衡处理负载的局限性。该结构由一个廉价的安卓平板电脑组成，通过USB线连接到一个嵌入式模块。嵌入式模块的核心是用于工业应用的最先进的ARM Cortex M4F处理器。所建议的解决方案提供了这两个组件的优点。实现需要驱动程序开发，这里也简要介绍了一些注意事项。
