ELIGA ORB is developed for OPC client applications that use redundant OPC servers to achieve the highest degree of communication reliability. It works like a pass-through OPC server between the OPC client applications and the OPC primary and standby servers. The client, instead of connecting to the OPC server directly, connects to the ELIGA ORB, which in turn connects to the primary and standby OPC servers, thus providing the server redundancy. As the OPC standard does not address the redundancy issues inherently, ELIGA ORB provides the same. ELIGA ORB allows the OPC-Enabled applications to use two OPC servers. As such the top-level application does not need to be aware of the standby OPC server. It simply connects to the ELIGA ORB and the ELIGA ORB handles the OPC server's communication, redundancy and other aspects. The ELIGA ORB achieves this by registering with COM and intercepting calls to the OPC Server. When ORB detects that the primary OPC server fails, it immediately switches to the Standby OPC server and continues passing data along. Therefore, the top-level application is not even aware that a failure occurred. The ELIGA ORB supports both local and remote operation so it can be run on a local machine or any computer on your network.

The main objective of this system is to communicate with display panels using proprietary Hex protocol. The configured panels will communicate with the PLCs. Protocol supports Uploading, Downloading and Verifying operation with panels. Uploading will send the configured data from the panels to the OPC GUI so that Operators can know what is configured in connected Panel. Downloading will send data from OPC GUI to the connected panel. So that Operators can write their configuration to the connected panel. Verifying will check both the configured data in the panel and the data in the GUI. If any difference is there then it will inform the operator.
Each panel has its own data. Available data types are Pushbuttons, Setpoints, Fieldpoints, Menus and Messages. Also user can do above-mentioned operations with multiple panels at a time by using communication Gateway. In that case each panel has different Base Addresses. That is base address for each panel should be unique in multiple panel selection. Before sending any data to the panel user has to select PLC configuration and communication parameters. PLC configuration are plc type, plc family and plc model. Communication parameters are comm port, baudrate, parity, stop bit, start bits and number of data bits. Here the nature of communication is Serial communication using RS232C. This main system contains two modules. GUI module is designed by Visual Basic. This module will get configuration info from the user and pass that to functionality module. Functionality module is designed using Visual C++. Functionality module is an ATL dll. It handles all the functionalities for forming protocol messages and communicating with the panel.

C, RTOS, product of the customer
RTOS is a real time extension over the Windows NT platform. It has been designed and developed by the client. Initially it did not have the TCP/IP support. For that TCP/IP stack had been ported. We have added ODI specification support to the RTOS. The acronym of ODI is Open Data-Link Interface. The ODI specification provides for communications between a variety of protocols and media, LAN drivers called Multiple Link Interface Drivers (MLIDs). The Link Support Layer (LSL) handles the transfer of information between MLIDs and protocol stacks. MLID is the heart of the ODI specification. According to ODI specification, for every supported NIC (Network Interface Card) separate MLID has to be provided. We have developed MLID for Intel Pro PCI card (82559) so that 82559 can be used in the RTOS as the network interface. This MLID will exchange the data between 82559 NIC and TCP/IP stack through LSL. DMA device driver for Intel-pro Ethernet card. ELIGA developed a device driver on a Real-time kernel for Intel-pro Ethernet card. The ELIGA also provided APIs to be used by other developer for drivers for DMA devices. The driver was developed as per ODI specifications.

The client had a proprietary application to accelerate the delivery of media data between the clients and servers. This was mainly done to overcome the limitations imposed by workings of NT shared file system. This s/w overcomes these limitations by the clients requesting data from servers directly bypass file system using TCP/IP and MGFS being able to perform optimum sized IO to local disk system. Now this project is mainly concentrated on enhancements of the MGFS functionality. One of the main enhancements of this software is, it has to provide filter functionality over NTFS. For this purpose one File System Filter Driver has been developed. This will sit over the NTFS. So all the requests are sent to the NTFS through the Filter driver only. Based on the files it will reroute the request (MGFS or NTFS).

This software has been developed for an Indian company for its critical operations and is basically for evaluating the performance of their data collection. The application is very complex because of the binary data processing involved and the variety of data processing types required. It is a typical three-tier architecture application
The Client Tier or the GUI is in Visual Basic, as it has flexibility in designing GUI and has more easily accessible features to communicate with the database. The GUI part is mainly used to get the inputs from the user, entering those inputs into the database after validating them and displaying the contents of the database or the output of the Data Acquisition component in the form of Reports and Graphs. The GUI will talk to the database for doing operations like Login Validation, Database Entry and other simple database related works. The communication between the database and the GUI is through the Microsoft's in-built component ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). The GUI part has provisions to manage the database also, like taking Backup of the database and Restoring it.
The Application Server Tier is for acquiring and processing the data and has been developed as a Component in Visual C++. This component gets called from the GUI and after doing the necessary operations, will return the output to the GUI. The data can be processed in different ways; each and every way has separate method in the Component. For processing the data in a particular way, the corresponding method will be called along with the parameters like start word, end word, acquisition mode etc., from the GUI. Based on these inputs, the Component gets some more related information from the Database using ADO and will do the data processing. After finishing the processing, it will return the output in a specified format to the GUI for displaying to the user.
The database is in SQL Server.
