Abstract

A process control or automation system configured to control a plurality of process control or automation field devices in a process, includes a compute fabric executing a plurality of instantiated micro-encapsulated execution environments (MEEEs) that cooperate to control the process. Each of the plurality of field devices operates to sense a parameter of the process and output the sensed parameter of the process to an input of the compute fabric and/or to affect a parameter of the process according to an input received from the compute fabric. The system also includes a plurality of digital twin services, each instantiated as one or more of the plurality of instantiated MEEEs, each having an associated one or group of field devices, and each operable to mimic non-physical operation of the one or group of field devices.
