+# Merlot
+
+Merlot (Karaf Automation), is a conceptualization and implementation of a
communications gateway for automating processes using open source tools. Merlot
is based on Karaf [1] a container of objects and Java applications based on the
OSGi [2] technology.
+
+Some years ago we participated in the development of a communication gateway
between the APACS / Quadlod Moore (now Siemens) controllers, and a custom user
SCADA, using the MODBUS protocol.
+
+The aim was to establish a migration path for these devices starting with the
SCADA, which as design criteria should use the MODBUS / TCP protocol. The
number of tags for the entire plant was above 40K points. After researching the
different architectures and object containers development, it was selected as
OSGI architecture and existing containers Karaf is selected. This concept
remained outside the scope of services offered by NIM gateway supplied by
Siemens for use 4mmation and migra [...]
+
+To date, the gateway is fully functional operating 24/7 for the past four
years, so this is a concept already proven in the field.
+
+
+And having defined the concept of Merlot, I will indicate the main components
associated to the gateway, functionality and location of the component where
you can access the individual manuals for each.
+
+While Karaf provides a set of functionality that saves a significant amount of
time from the point of view of architecture,we need incoporporte to Merlot the
tools to make connections with our field devices (aka PLC or RTU).
+
+Karaf provides a methodology for incorporating these features using the
"feature servie" where each "feature" allows the incorporation of his own
bundles required and automatically solve his dependencies.
+
+The above diagram shows a summary of the different components of Merlot, which
we describe below:
+
+
+```mermaid
+block-beta
+columns 1
+ db(("Merlot"))
+ block:C1
+ ActiveMQ
+ ModbusServer
+ pvDataJava
+ pvDatabaseJava
+ end
+
+ block:C2
+ Derby
+ H2
+ Netty
+ Scheduller
+ end
+
+ block:Karaf1
+ block:Karaf2
+ Console
+ Logging
+ Deployer
+ Provisionning
+ Admin
+ Blueprint
+ end
+ end
+```
+
+
+**Scheduler [1]**: is the component for scheduling tasks within Merlot. Karaf
provides a "feature" that allows transparently urge as well as an OSGi service
to the planned execution of tasks. This will be our next item of business.
+
+**ActiveMQ [2]**: This is a broker for messaging, supports multiple protocols
(MQTT) for the server and client libraries for multiple languages. ActiveMQ is
the key to the integration of components based on IoT base.
+
+**Virtual Device**: Since the aim of Merlot is to serve as a gateway for
communication in process automation, the model of virtual devices associated
with Merlot will be based on a MODBUS device type records. This concept will be
used for shared memory model between the various components.
+
+**Netty [3]**: This library enables the development of high-performance
servers and very efficient in the management of host resources.
+
+**MODBUS Server**: access to Merlo from field devices, either from a PLC,
SCADA or HMI, can be performed using this protocol, one of the simplest and
most used in industry. The server will be based on so Netty is expected to be
very efficient in performance.
+
+**RTB (Real Time Database)**: I think this is a more complicated and difficult
to implement parts. It is important to note that at no time think will reinvent
the wheel in this regard, so we'll use a project called pvIOCJava, developed
for the EPICS project. There are tons of documents, presentations and
tutorials. In another publication of the blog we will summarize these services
+
+**H2 [4]**: For data persistence and Remote Access configuration will use this
database. The evaluations resource consumption is minimal so it is my leading
candidate. The implementation of the database is done using JPA, so persistence
is actually transparent.
+
+**pvDataBaseJava [5]**: The component for the development of the database in
real time (soft real time). It is a set of libraries and applications that
allows access to the database through the CA V3 protocol, developed in the
EPICS project.
+
+**Device Manager**: the manager devices is the service responsible for linking
devices (dev) with their respective drivers (DRV). Connecting our PLC or RTU
passes by this component. Like the rest of the service to be developed it is
based on OSGi, so that the development process is standardized.
