Abstract
In order to design mutual communication between a distributed control system and a function test facility, we used the Inter-Process Communication(IPC) in two systems and Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) protocol. The data from the function test facility are put in the shared memory using an IPC, which is then accessed by the distributed control system through an Application Program Interface(API). The server in the function test facility includes two processes(one for sending and one for receiving), which are generated by the fork function from the client signal. The client in the distributed control system includes two separate programs(one for receiving and one for sending).
