The Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC) interface provides an effective means to exchange data between automation-related entities, both hardware and software. Since its creation, it has been profusely used not only for industrial scenarios but also for other spheres, among which energy automation is an important scope. In order to portray the relevance of such protocol, this paper presents a survey of applications of OPC communication to manage systems integration in the context of energy automation.Palabras Clave: industrial communications, OPC, energy automation, Smart Grid, interoperability.

“…However, the modelling of domain-specific information into OPC UA meta-models is still lacking a • Integration of OPC UA with other protocols or software architectures in domains like SGs and CPPSs. The standards and languages that are being integrated are protocols for building automation systems (KNX, BACnet, LonWorks) [149], UML [150,160,166], IEC 61131 [148], IEC 61499 [158], DPWS [147,152], IEC 61850 [152,156,163,164], AutomationML [154,165], RobotML [155], CIM [159], DDS [161], REST [157], ISA 95 [15], and open-source middleware platform for IoT devices (OpenIoT) [141]. Once validated, the standardization of the developed integrating extensions/models should be achieved by submitting them to the OPC Foundation.…”

Extensive digitization and interconnection through networks have ushered in a number of new paradigms over the last years: Internet of Things, cyber–physical systems, Industry 4.0, etc. These challenging systems rely on an effective information communication between distributed components. Therefore, the heterogeneity of entities, both hardware and software, must be handled to achieve an operative interoperability and a proper behavior. However, there is also a heterogeneous availability of solutions; different technologies, protocols, and architectures aim to achieve a seamless interconnection. Henceforth, the standardization still requires great efforts from industrial and scientific environments. In this sense, the interface of the open platform communications (OPC) has supported connectivity for automation and supervision infrastructures for more than two decades. The OPC comprises the so-called classic OPC, the original protocol, as well as the last specification, unified architecture (UA). The widespread utilization of the classic OPC together with the powerful functionalities of OPC UA, make the latter one of the main candidates to lead the standardization and systems integration. This paper presents a survey of recent OPC-based systems reported in scientific literature for different domains as well as research projects. The goal of this paper is to provide a broad perspective about the OPC’ applicability and capabilities in order to support the decision about communication interfaces. The results are analyzed and discussed putting special attention on the aforementioned new paradigms. Finally, the main conclusions and open research directions are highlighted.

Future manufacturing systems have to be more adaptable to be able to compete in fast changing markets and address specific customer demands. To increase adaptability of production systems, the software and communication infrastructures have to be adaptable as well. Current communication paradigms tightly couple manufacturing systems to communication infrastructures. Changes in the manufacturing system require manual reconfiguration of software and communication infrastructure. In this paper we define the requirements for future adaptable manufacturing systems. They have to be loosely coupled, dynamic, adaptable, and capable of plug & play. We also propose a data-centric approach to make communication systems more adaptable. Using a simplified industrial setup, we show that the approach is feasible for manufacturing systems and increases the adaptability.
