Abstract

A distributed network product applicator control system uses object-oriented software, windows interfacing, distributed network technology and Echelon LonWorks network technology allowing a fixed loop system to be expanded by adding a multiplicity of additional loops to the system with only a transparent effect on the whole. Each loop is independent thereby allowing application of a product in response to an application map for an area which is unique only to that particular loop.
