Abstract

This paper presents the structure of buffering application used to store measurement information in an industrial monitoring software system. The buffering application is residing on the data acquisition computers and saves the values of the monitored measures in the unfortunate case of a network failure between the acquisition and server computers. Several development options are presented (with advantages and disadvantages) and compared using a multi-criteria analysis. These development options are: the use of Microsoft's Message Queuing System (MSMQ) and developing an application that will use as storage for the measured values files or a database.
