Time critical systems like all modern electric drives pose high demands onto control devices. For easier reconfiguration and better performance by load balancing the distribution of control is introduced. While the synchronization of algorithms is already hard on single control nodes the data handling on distributed systems is even harder. To approach this challenge the data handling could be solved by an event-driven middleware that propagates the data on change through the system. The possibilities of an event driven middleware are shown in a rebuild automated tabletop football table. One opponent is played by a distributed control with computer vision and electric drives to handle the bars. This project and its underlaid event based middleware is presented in this article.
