Abstract

A virtual control panel system is comprised of a control device (10), and an adapter (11) connected between the control device (10) and an embedded computing system (12). The control device (10) is comprised of a microprocessor (13) connected to a memory (14) storing a standardized control program, a display (15), and a communications link (16) for communicating with the adapter (11). The adapter (11) is comprised of a microprocessor (13) connected to a memory (18) storing a translation program specific to the embedded computing system (12), and a communications link (19) for communicating with the control device (10). The translation program enables the embedded computing system (12) to communicate with the control program. A virtual control panel is displayed on the control device (10) to enable control of the embedded computing system (12). Different adapters (11) are provided with different translation programs for different embedded computing systems (12). The same control program is provided in different control devices (10), so that any control device can be used to control any embedded computing system (12).
