PLS System Architecture Diagram

PLS — Software Architecture

Business Application LayerIntelligent Algorithm LayerDevice Control Layer
TOS

Terminal Operating System

Multi-Channel Remote Real-time Monitoring System (UI)

Provides full-process monitoring of operational tasks

Data Center System (DCS)

As the data processing core of the PLS system, receives task commands from TOS and optimizes distribution to CCS

Central Lock Storage

Centralized twistlock storage management

Mobile Transfer Platform

Twistlock transfer scheduling

Channel Control System (CCS)

Receives task commands from DCS, manages PLS equipment and channel control

Equipment Control Software (ECS)

Responsible for controlling PLS equipment and executing tasks assigned by CCS

PLC

Programmable Logic Controller, controls specific actuators
