Abstract: An I/O server service interacts with multiple containerized controller services each implementing the same control routine to control the same portion of the same plant. The I/O server service may provide the same controller inputs to each of the containerized controller services (e.g., representing measurements obtained by field devices and transmitted by the field devices to the I/O server service). Each containerized controller service executes the same control routine to generate a set of controller outputs. The I/O server service receives each set of controller outputs and forwards an “active” set to the appropriate field devices. The I/O server service and other services, such as an orchestrator service, may continuously evaluate performance and resource utilization in the control system, and may dynamically activate and deactivate controller services as appropriate. The I/O server service may interact with other containerized services, such as containerized historian services or workstation services, to facilitate control in the plant.

Abstract: A technology is described for redundant network communication in a robot. An example of the technology can include a main robotic controller, a local controller in network communication with the main robotic controller, and instructions that, when executed by the processor, transfer first and second data signals between the main robotic controller and the local controller via first and second network channels. The first data signal is sent over the first network channel, and the second data signal is sent over the second network channel. The instructions compare the first data signal with the second data signal to determine signal integrity of the data signals; determine degradation of the first data signal if the signal integrity is less than the signal integrity of the second data signal; and select the second data signal for processing if degradation of the first data signal is determined.
