Software objects in distributed flow measurements

ISA Trans. 2003 Jul;42(3):497-504. doi: 10.1016/s0019-0578(07)60150-5.

Abstract

Increasing complexity of the contemporary industrial measurement systems is a common characteristic. Partitioning of the measurement process into software components that can be realized as separate objects facilitates the development of the measurement system. Using a client/server approach, the measurement system components become shareable and accessible across the network. The components can be deployed anywhere on the network and shared by a considerable number of applications. The paper describes a realization of the flow measurement system with distributed software components, i.e., measurement procedures, which include the concurrent calculation of the measurement results and the corresponding uncertainties.
