In recent years, the application of embedded technology and configuration technology in industrial control is more and more widely. The embedded configuration software which is combined of embedded and configuration has become the inevitable trend in industrial control field. Real-time database system as the core of embedded configuration software, the organizational structure whether reasonable and effective is directly related to the performance of the whole system, affecting field devices real-time communication and data transmission in graphic display interface. Based on a large number of configuration-related papers, this paper deeply researched the real-time database and using three layer storage structures which consist of shared memory, file system and general database. It improves the access efficiency of real-time database and data reliability in a timely manner. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i4.4778
