IRPMJDEVICECONTROL

IRPMJDEVICECONTROL is a software specification and reference implementation created to unify how devices are controlled in automated environments. It provides a standardized API for issuing control commands, querying device state, and handling errors across devices from multiple vendors. The design emphasizes low latency, deterministic behavior, and easy extensibility within the broader IRPMJ framework.

It is modular and transport-agnostic. Core components include a core API layer, protocol adapters, device drivers, and an event/notification bus. Protocol adapters translate between the internal command model and the underlying transport or device protocol (for example, TCP/IP, MQTT, or REST). Device drivers implement vendor-specific behavior behind a uniform interface. The event bus enables asynchronous status updates and action results.

Commands are expressed as structured actions such as connect, disconnect, configureParameter, executeAction, and queryStatus. Each command includes a target device identifier, optional metadata, and a payload. The device description provides capabilities, parameters, and supported actions. Responses carry success indicators, status values, and error details.

IRPMJDEVICECONTROL enables multi-vendor orchestration, simplifies integration into gateways and SCADA systems, and supports secure operation with built-in authentication and encryption in transport layers. It is designed for use in manufacturing cells, robotics, and remote monitoring scenarios, where consistent control semantics are important.

As an evolving specification, IRPMJDEVICECONTROL has open governance and community-driven reference implementations. Real-world deployments may vary in the exact protocol adapters and security configurations chosen by integrators.
