Abstract:
In this article an approach towards a modular generic field device, running on standard PC-hardware is presented. The work focusses on generating large numbers of software devices to be employed in stress test scenarios. The concept is based upon open source operating systems and virtualization. The design decisions regarding platform and device structure are discussed in detail. Furthermore a forecast on future real time capabilities of the approach is presented.
