Device Integration Into Automation Systems With Configurable Device Handler

Web-Technologies which came up in many fields of automation seem to be a solution which improves device integration in many ways. On the one hand the used Ethernet improves the installation techniques with reliable and approved network cables and routing devices. On the other hand the used internet protocols provide several services for the application software development. With the introduction of those services, the local controller of the measurement devices has to execute complex communication protocols in addition to the device specific tasks. This fact has serious influences on the measurement device instrumentation and the execution of the device firmware. Concerning new developments and compatible adaptations of existing instruments several ways for the integration of web technologies are available. The following article is intended to explain the architectural aspects of device integrations using Industrial Ethernet by means of an embedded web server. As a practical example to this architecture, concepts and results of a new developed communication module called EWI (embedded web interface) are given to demonstrate the improvements in measurement device integration in the field of automotive test bed automation.
