Plug-In Based Integrated Development Platform for Industrial Control System-P-IDP4ICS

摘要

This paper presents a plug-in based integrated development framework for industrial control system named P-IDP4ICS which adopts the role-based access control technique, named RBAC. And the implementation mechanisms of P-IDP4ICS are explained in this paper. The P-IDP4ICS framework consists of some components, such as Extension Protocol, Kernel, Plug-in Registry and Host Application. Among those components, Extension Protocol component can keep the industrial control software customizable and scalable, and the reusing plug-ins which have been well developed like Host Application plug-in can improve reusing capability of industrial control software. The plug-ins in P-IDP4ICS are presented in the form of DLLs, which protect the source code. Furthermore, P-IDP4ICS which implements the RBAC model reduces the complexity of authorization management and the costs of system maintenance. Finally, this paper reconstructs a Sinter Integrated Control Expert System through P-IDP4ICS framework and has proved its effectiveness.
