Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for use in communicating with a distributed control system (DCS) associated with a manufacturing plant. One example system includes a virtual machine hosted in a computing device and coupled to the DCS via a network connection, where the virtual machine includes a controller server and a controller client. The controller server includes a controller specific to a process of the plant, and the controller client is configured to host communication between the controller server in the virtual machine and the DCS of the plant. The controller client, then, is further configured to receive a message from the DCS, via the network connection, transform the message into a JSON message, and communicate the JSON message to the controller server.
