Patent attributes
A communication system includes data generation units that generate data and a plurality of data evaluation units physically separated from the data generation units and connected to the data generation units via a non-proprietary network. The data evaluation units evaluate data transmitted by the communication system, which includes a hardware abstraction layer that represents a data evaluation unit as a resource that includes a property “data transmission type.” The property “data transmission type” is “Streaming” or “Bulk Upload” or “Streaming, Bulk Upload”. The communication system reads the property “data transmission type” and accordingly transmits the generated data to the data evaluation unit in accordance with the read property “data transmission type”.
