Three-Tier Architecture

  • Presentation Tier
    • Rich Client (.NET)
    • Web Client (WebAssembly)
    • Mobile Client (WebAssembly)
  • Application Tier
    • FrameworX Runtime (TServer)
    • UNS (Tag & UDT)  | Field Devices | Alarms
    • Historian | Reports | Dataset SQL | Scrips
  • Data Tier
    • Solution DB (configuration), Historian DB (Time-Series) and Alarms DB
    • External SQL, Objects DB,  or Cloud Storage, or custom connectors. 
    • Drivers (70+ field protocols), UPC-UA, MQTT + third-party extensions.


The Four Pillars Architecture

titleSolution Building Blocks

Every FrameworX solution is built on four foundational pillars that work together to create a complete industrial application:

title1. Unified Namespace (UNS) - Foundation Layer

1. Unified Namespace (UNS) - Foundation Layer

The UNS serves as the central data model for your entire solution:

  • Tags - Real-time data points with types, scaling, and properties
  • Asset Tree - Hierarchical organization of your plant/process
  • User Data Types (UDTs) - Reusable templates for complex objects
  • TagProviders - External data source connections


Expand
title2. Process Modules - Industrial Integration Layer

2. Process Modules - Industrial Integration Layer

Connect and collect data from field devices and industrial systems:

  • Devices - 70+ native drivers for PLCs, RTUs, and field devices
  • Alarms - Event detection, notification, and audit trail
  • Historians - Time-series data storage and retrieval

title3. Application Modules - Business Logic Layer

3. Application Modules - Business Logic Layer

Process and transform data for business needs:

  • Scripts - Custom logic in C#, VB.NET, Python, JavaScript
  • Datasets - SQL database connections and queries
  • Reports - Document generation and data export


Expand
title4. User Interface - Visualization Layer

4. User Interface - Visualization Layer

Present information to operators and managers:

  • Displays - HMI/SCADA screens with rich graphics
  • Dashboards - KPI monitoring and analytics
  • Clients - Rich (.NET), Web (HTML5), and Mobile applications


Deployment Architectures

Unified Designer

Standalone Configuration

  • Single server with local clients
  • Ideal for small to medium applications
  • Simplified maintenance

Distributed Architecture

  • Multiple servers across locations
  • Distributed Remote I/O and UI Portal (DataHubNode & ApplicationNode)
  • Enterprise-wide solutions

Redundant Systems

  • Hot-standby failover
  • No data loss during switchover
  • Mission-critical applications

Cloud and Hybrid

  • Cloud-hosted servers
  • Edge devices for local processing
  • Flexible scaling
