Therefore, a control and management system is desired. For economic considerations, it is inevitable to have a new system (or device) for this requirement. Preferably, it can be achieved by using available or easily made hardware with properly designed software architecture for control. For a single product in the market, it is made by customizing circuits with only one specification for specific equipment. There is no control device or system to integrate all control functions in one unit. There is no control device or system to feed back data. A feature of the present study is using another device with newly added software defined data in a device database and an instruction database without being affected by the equipment. With the device control programming system from the concept of Software Defined Device Independent (SDDI), the goal can be achieved. The device control programming system is based on a model of Device Independence and provided in the present study. Based on the concept of Software-Defined, the device control programming system of SDDI doesn’t have to concern characteristics and class of the equipment when programming. It is a procedure or mechanism which makes the application procedure of the software can be applied to run on the local equipment. No more consideration is required on its hardware architecture or software environment. As long as the equipment whose application programming interfaces can be obtained, it can be applied by the SDDI in the present study, further reducing the threshold of development. The concept of SDDI in the study is implemented in robotic arms and robots to test the feasibility and advantages of SDDI. Results come out to show that SDDI is able to control equipment which is capable of wireless communication by programming the functions of wireless communication.
