Since popularity of Linux operating system in industrial
environment increase, needs for interoperability between Linux
applications and industrial equipment come true. Actually most
every Linux scada/HMI project reinvents the wheel for field
communication, without interoperability. Mainly, DPBC (DBus for
process control) is a standard abstraction layer between SCADA
and field equipment. DBPC is based on D-Bus which is a message
bus and activation system that is set to achieve deep
penetration in Linux. DBPC define a standard set of objects,
interfaces and methods for use in process control. It will
provide a common standard for industrial communication,
especially between HMI, SCADA and field electronic equipement.
