Smart Manufacturing
The Connected Machine©
The Industrial Internet
One concept, several initiatives worldwide

8. Industry 4.0
The goal of Industry 4.0 is the smart and connected factory with Internet of Things and Cyber Physical Systems as technology basis.
Internet of Things (IoT) is the Interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices (smart objects) within the Internet infrastructure.
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are systems using computations and communication deeply embedded in and interacting with physical processes.
Computerization of the manufacturing industry

9. Industry 4.0
Concept of Industry 4.0 is to interconnect machinery, sensors and control systems together via intelligent networks to achieve:
•Dynamic response to product demands, enable rapid manufacturing of new products.
•Real-time optimization of manufacturing production and supply chain networks, highly flexible production.
•Strong customization of products, mass customization.
•Self-optimization, self-configuration and self-diagnosis.
•Active support of the manufacturing process by smart products themselves
Connecting machines with intelligent networks

10. Networked Manufacturing
Horizontal value network

11. Industry 4.0 Working Group
Industry 4.0 will involve networking and integration of several different companies through value networks.
This collaborative partnership will only be possible if a single set of common standards is developed.
Standardization as a prerequisite for Industry 4.0

12. Distributed intelligence based on standards
Networks incorporate entire manufacturing process

13. Connecting ERP, MES, SCADA and PLCs
•Interoperability standard developed by the OPC Foundation
•Manufacturer-independent standard for exchanging data
•Multi-platform service-oriented architecture
•Scalable from smart sensors/actuators to mainframes
•International standard IEC 62541
OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA)

14. OPC UA in PLC
•OPC UA Server in PLC for vertical communication to SCADA, MES and ERP
•OPC UA Client in PLC enables vendor-independent horizontal communication from PLC to PLC
•PLCopen-compliant function blocks
•Guaranteed semantic interoperability
OPC UA Client / Server in the PLC

15. Distributed intelligence based on standards
OPC UA standard for ERP, MES, SCADA and PLCs

16. Distributed intelligence based on standards
Standard for real-time field network

17. Connecting sensors and actuators
A real-time standard for the field network
•OPC UA is based on TCP/UDP/IP
•Not suitable for real-time data exchange
•Field network usually require high level of determinism
•POWERLINK fulfills perfectly requirements for real-time field network

18. Why POWERLINK
•Maximum performance
•Absolute openness
•Based on Standard Ethernet
•Designed for Integrated Automation
•International standard IEC 61158-13

19. Worldwide market leader
•Worldwide leader for real-time Ethernet solutions
•3,100 OEMs trust in POWERLINK
•More than 900,000 POWERLINK systems installed

20. An 100% open standard
•POWERLINK is completely free of patents and without licenses
•POWERLINK is open source – downloadable on sourceforge.net

22. Distributed intelligence based on standards
POWERLINK standard for field level networks

23. OPC UA down to the sensors
•Deterministic data are exchanged in the POWERLINK isochronous phase
•With POWERLINK a dedicated bandwidth is reserved for non real-time data exchange, can not degrade real-time data exchange
Combining OPC UA and determinism of field network

24. OPC UA down to the sensors
Efficient non real-time data exchange with POWERLINK

25. OPC UA down to the sensors
OPC UA client/server down to the sensors

26. Distributed intelligence based on standards
POWERLINK standard for field level networks

27. Integrated safety
The Industry 4.0 Working Group has stated:
•Safety is the first priority area for Industry 4.0
•Safety strategies must be designed for open collaborative subsystems belonging to different manufacturers and operators
•Industry 4.0 will require the deployment of integrated safety
•openSAFETY is ideal solution for integrated safety in an open multi- vendor environment
Critical factor for the success of Industry 4.0

28. openSAFETY is open and independent
•The world’s first 100% open safety protocol
•Totally independent from technical and legal aspects
•Supported by the international user organization EPSG

29. One safety standard for all networks
TCP/IP
EtherCAT
POWERLINK
PROFINET

30. Distributed intelligence based on standards
