The OMAC API is a working group that is part of the Open Modular Architecture Controls (OMAC) User's Group. The OMAC API charter is to develop a specification that defines an intelligent closed loop controller environment to support open architecture concepts including application portability at the source level, interoperability of modules, and extensibility of controller functionality. It is intended for system integrators and applications software developers. In addition to information on the OMAC API, this home page contains hyperlinks to other standards or specification efforts for open architectures.

Source code developed at NIST is available for some of aspects of the OMAC API.

Demo Source The code gives the
basic idea of how components would work. Documentation has not been posted
yet. It is a zip file, with setup.exe to install. Those familiar with Visual
Studio will understand the layout. Under /omacapidemo/proj/AxisHMI is the
primary project.
