Key Responsibilities

  • Port the polling engine and existing protocol drivers from Windows to Linux.
  • Resolve platform differences, including serial and socket APIs, threading, timers, data type sizes, struct packing, and byte order.

  • Handle field communication conditions, including serial and TCP transports, slow and lossy links, device quirks, and vendor-specific protocol variants.
  • Verify ported drivers against the Windows originals by polling the same devices and comparing real-time data, history, events, and alarms.
  • Test against physical RTUs, flow computers, and PLCs on a test bench, and against device simulators.
  • Build automated regression tests that compare Linux and Windows driver output.
  • Build diagnostics for communication health, including link status, retry behavior, throughput, and per-device statistics.
  • Diagnose communication failures using serial and network captures and protocol analyzers.
  • Document protocol behavior, device-specific quirks, and test coverage for each driver.
