7. Perform Distribution Design

This system configuration illustrates a distribution design of the DRILL_MVCDL example in which the Model+View functions are located in a remote device named MODEL, the Control+HMI functions are in a local device named CONTROL; and the Diagnostic functions are in a local device named (surprise!) DIAGNOSTICS. Each of the MODEL and DIAGNOSTICS devices contains a SENSORS resource and an ACTUATORS resource with the following functionality:

Resource Function
MODEL.SENSORS Gather sensor data and publish it using the Tagged Data Design Pattern.
DIAGNOSTICS.SENSORS Subscribe to sensor data and publish it locally to both DIAGNOSTICS and CONTROL devices, using the Tagged Data Design Pattern.
MODEL.ACTUATORS Subscribe to actuator data and publish it locally, using the Tagged Data Design Pattern.
DIAGNOSTICS.ACTUATORS Gather actuator data from CONTROL device and publish it with the Tagged Data Design Pattern.
