Abstract
An extensible computing system integrates asset health data and user control of devices made by different manufacturers, using a common computer platform application structure and a common platform services structure. A services bus communicates device signals in a standardized format from the common platform services structure to a proprietary extension services structure, which converts the device communication signals from the standardized format to a proprietary communication format. A data highway bus communicates asset health and reliability data in a standardized data format from the proprietary extension services structure to the common extension services structure. The proprietary services structure converts asset health data from a proprietary data format as received from the proprietary device into the standardized data format. An input communicates data in the proprietary data format from the proprietary device to the computer, and an output sends communication signals in the proprietary communication format to the proprietary device.
