Control Center¶

The Kelvin Control Center is a web based user interface to configure and manage applications as well as the computing platforms they run on. Control Center is composed of different interfaces that allow management of Nodes, Applications, and Workloads.

Node - (ACP) Advanced Computing Platform¶

A Node is a computing platform hardware which is represented by the hardware (memory, disk, CPU Cores) and the OS. A Node is usually an edge computer but can be anything up to server hardware (e.g. a server running in a data center).

Applications¶

The Kelvin SDK enables users to create custom applications and upload them into the Kelvin Platform private Application Registry. Application Workloads (instance of the application) run on Nodes which are usually located on the Edge, physically connected to industrial controllers. Applications can be anything from simple transformations to complex control that utilizes machine learning. You can find more details about building applications here.

Workloads¶

A Workload is an application instance running in a Node. Within Control Center you can view and manage deployed workloads, stop and start them, view logs, and modify configuration files. You can find more details about creating and deploying workloads with KSDK here.

Info

The Control Center is currently only supported in the Google Chrome web browser.
