Abstract
This paper presents a multiagent architecture that covers the new requirements for the new control systems such as the distribution and decentralisation of system elements, the definition of communications between these elements, the fast adaptation in the control and organizational changes. The agents in this architecture can cooperate and coordinate to achieve a global goal, encapsulate the hardware interfaces and make the control system easily adapt to different requirements through configuration. Finally, the proposed architecture is applied to a control system of a solar power plant, obtaining a preliminary system that achieve the goals of simplicity, scalability, flexibility and optimization of communications system.
