ABSTRACT:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or method that facilitates providing manageability within an industrial environment. A controller can execute with a real-time operating system such that the controller can include two or more controller engine instances executing as processes on the controller. A distribution component can divide a portion of the industrial environment into at least two or more units based at least in part upon scale data, the two or more units include respective dedicated execution space.
