MMS笔记（一）

====================================================
MMS
主要目的是定义一套用来在设备和计算机程序之间高度互通、协同工作的通讯标准
-----------------------------------------------------               
Part 1 is the service specification.

The service specification contains a definition of
1) the Virtual Manufacturing Device,
2) the services (or messages) exchanged between nodes on a network, and
3) the attributes and parameters associated with the VMD and services.

 

ISO9506-1定义了服务（Service）规范，包括：
 （1）虚拟制造设备（VMD，Virtual Manufacturing Device）概念的引入和定义；
 （2）网络环境下各节点之间服务或报文的交换规则定义；
 （3）与VMD和服务有关的属性和参数的定义
 
ISO9506-1定义了如下几大类服务：

 （1）环境及通用管理服务（Environment And General Management Services）；
 （2）虚拟制造设备支持服务（VMD Support Services）；
 （3）域管理服务（Domain Management Services）；
 （4）程序管理服务（Program Invocation Management Services）；
 （5）变量访问服务（Variable Access Services）；
      Read ，Write，InformationReport，GetVariableAccessAttributes
      DefineNamedVariable，DeleteVariableAccess
      DefineNamedVariableList
      GetNamedVariableListAttributes
      DeleteNamedVariableList
      DefineNamedType
      DeleteNamedType
      GetNamedTypeAttributes
     
 （6）信号量管理服务（Semaphore Management Services）；
 （7）操作员通信服务（Operator Communication Services）;
 （8）事件管理服务（Event Management Services）；
 （9）日志管理服务（Journal Management Services）。
 
Part 2 is the protocol specification. The protocol specification defines the rules of communication which includes

1) the sequencing of messages across the network,
2) the format (or encoding) of the messages, and
3) the interaction of the MMS layer with the other layers of the communications network.
ISO/IEC 9506-2定义了协议（Protocol）规范，包括：
 （1）报文的执行序列；
 （2）报文或编码的格式；
 （3）MMS层与OSI参考模型其它层的相互作用关系

 

协议规范使用表示层标准ISO8824即抽象语句标识（ASN.1，Abstract Syntax Notation Number One）
定义MMS的报文格式。MMS提供了通过网络进行对等（peer-to-peer）实时通信的一套服务集。
MMS应该可以支持多种通信方式，包括以太网、令牌总线、RS-232C、OSI、TCP/IP、MiniMAP、FAIS等，
MMS也可通过网桥、路由器或网关连接到其它系统上。

互操作性 

MMS标准还提供了如下的定义：
 （1）对象（Object）：  MMS定义了一套通用对象（如变量）及这些对象的网络可见属性（如名字、值、类型）。
 （2）服务（Service）： MMS定义了一套访问和管理网络环境下对象的通信服务（如读、写）。
 （3）行为（Behavior）：MMS定义了当执行相关服务时，设备所应表现出的网络可见行为。

 对象、服务、行为的定义构成了一套关于设备和应用在VMD模型中如何通信的规范。VMD模型只定义
 了通信的网络可见方面，对于实际设备如何实现VMD模型的细节，如编程语言、操作系统、CPU类型
 和I/O系统等MMS则不作定义。通过定义设备的网络可见部分的行为，MMS的VMD模型就能使设备之间
 具有很高的互操作性，同时这些定义又不妨碍设备和应用内部使用不断创新的新技术。
 a.The Developer of the Application
 b.Network Connectivity
 c.Function Performed.
 
独立性

 与很多只适用于特定产品的专用通信系统不同，MMS是一个通用的、独立于专用设备的国际标准体系。
 MMS为用户提供了一个独立于所完成功能的通用通信环境

MMS, as an application layer protocol
provides application services to the business functions, not connectivity services.
只提供连通服务消息机制，并没有提供连通服务。

 

MMS的关键特点是VMD模型，定义了：
a. objects (e.g. variables) that are contained in the server,
b. the services that a client can use to access and manipulate these objects
   (e.g. read or write a variable), and
c. the behavior of the server upon receipt of these service requests from clients.

MMS 对象
a. VMD Object
   Status,UnsolicitedStatus,Identify
  
   属性：
   Capabilities、Logical Status、Physical Status
   服务：
   Status、UnsolicitedStatus、 GetNameList、 Identify.
  
b. Variable and Type Objects
   变量访问模型
    MMS Variables是a virtual object ，只是指明访问实际变量（real variable）的路径，
    MMS Variables的创建、删除只是针对访问路经，并不指实际的变量。
   
    两种类型MMS Variables：
    1. Unnamed Variable Object: 通过设备地址访问，为了兼容老设备
       属性：
          Address
            (地址表示法：Numeric(e.g. 103)，Symbolic(e.g. "R001" or "N7:0")，Unconstrained ）
          MMS Deletable
          Type Description
    2. Named Variable Object
       属性：
          MMS Deletable
          Type Description
          Access Method       
  
c. Program Control Objects (Domains and Program Invocations)  
   A MMS domain is defined as an object that represents a resource
   within the VMD (e.g. the memory in which a program is stored).
  
   the VMD execution model provides for MMS clients are:
   .Services for commanding a VMD to upload/download their domains to/from a
     MMS client or file in a filestore system (either in the VMD or external to the VMD)
   .Services for a VMD to request a domain upload/download from a client.
   .Start, Stop, Reset, Resume, and Kill services for controlling the execution
     of program invocations.
   .Services for deleting, creating, and obtaining the attributes of domains and
     program invocations.
    
   VMD执行模型：
   Domains模型---代表MMS对象中实际设备的一些资源，如：连续数据块，内存
   （思想借鉴于工业过程控制中的批处理...)

f. Journal Objects
g. Operator Station Object
h. File
i. MMS CONTEXT MANAGEMENT
MMS provides services for managing the context of communications between two MMS nodes on a network. These services are used to establish and terminate application associations and for handling protocol errors between two MMS nodes.

 

VMD

A server is a device or application that contains a VMD and its objects (variables, etc.).
A client is a networked application (or device) that asks for          data or an action from the server.

In a very general sense, a client is a network entity that issues MMS service requests to a server. A server is a network entity that responds to the MMS requests of a client.

 

MMS模型中通用的方法是：

Get,Set,QueryAttributes,Create,Delete
具体的每个对象、服务的定义都可Map到现在的面向对象编程思想中

Object Scope：
VMD Wide
Domain Specific
Association Specific
