The control configuration software with the abilities of storage, managing all monitor records and alarm suffered from the limited memory that cannot storage large number of records. A new design scheme of embedded control configuration monitoring software using XML as a data center format, independence on the operating system and with the apparent hierarchy of the software was developed based on the analysis of the XML document parsing and accessing. The design framework involved the organization of XML file, the design of database of PC monitoring configuration control platform, the configuration control and the realization of the packets transmitting and receiving. A large number of experiments showed that the scheme was feasible and effective.
