“…They state that the configuration is getting more complex if it has to deal with bridged endpoints that include the functionalities of switches and endpoints. Ansah et al [11] described in 2020 a solution named a controller of controllers architecture. They pursue a fully centralized network management approach where centralized entity has the overview of the whole network and manages it over a plurality of network controllers that each us using a specific network technology like TSN, SDN, PROFINET.…”

Versatile production systems are a main concept of Industrie 4.0. In order to achieve the needed flexibility and changeability of those systems, the industrial network has to become more adaptable as well. The density of the interconnection between industrial applications increases as well as the interconnection of the industrial network management and these applications. In order to configure the industrial network appropriately, a network management has to be able to identify the requirements of the industrial applications regarding their needed network services and the quality of service. Furthermore, it can be enabled to find alternative configurations, if certain requirements cannot be met, even if it has to influence the industrial process itself.This paper presents a solution that uses Software-defined Networking (SDN) and OPC UA in combination and achieves a higher amount of flexibility by interacting with the industrial process. For this, the network management gets enabled to influence the industrial process if the quality of service demands of the industrial applications cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, it is able to switch network paths to alternative routes and configures them by using OpenFlow-based SDN switches. The solution is implemented according to a described industrial use case, which underlines the necessity of this solution.

In the constant evolution of industrial systems, there is currently a strong trend towards Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). This trend corresponds with the upcoming requirements of integration and flexibility in the Smart Factories and the fusion of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). However, industrial environments using legacy communication are still used in existing shop floors. One example to implement redundant interconnections and communication via heterogeneous networks is presented here using the CANopen Flying Master technology and a TSN backbone.
