Abstract
A network control system within an industrial processing facility (IPF) includes a controller platforms coupled to one another by a private path redundancy network providing a controller pool, each controller platform having at least one controller including computing hardware and a memory. An application module (AM) pool includes a plurality of AMs, wherein the controller platforms are coupled by an input/output mesh network to input/output devices coupled to field devices that are coupled to processing equipment in the IPF. A control application module orchestrator (CAMO) coupled to the plant-wide network is for dynamically deploying the AM's to the controller platforms, wherein the CAMO receives resource consumption attribute data regarding the controller platforms including a pool of available storage in the memory and processing resources available for the computer hardware. Based on the resource consumption attributes, the plurality of AMs are at least partially automatically deployed to the controller platforms.
