“…In the Industry 4.0 scenario, the embedding of OPC UA into industrial environments is a first step towards the goals of this paradigm [142]. In fact, OPC UA is explicitly considered as a key technology to manage heterogeneous machine interoperability [155], addressing the challenges derived from this new framework [139,142]. Indeed, the RAMI 4.0 mentions OPC UA as a recommended communication technology [21].…”

“…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.

“…Este escenario se complementa con la propuesta de Liu, Zeng, Zhou & Zhu (2017), acerca de un sistema de control basado en datos que permite el diseño del controlador, sin considerar el modelo dinámico del sistema, lo cual hace ver su flexibilidad para diversas plantas controladas a nivel industrial. Es así como la flexibilidad aplicada a los procesos de comunicación entre máquina y máquina, según Azaiez, Boc, Cudennec, Da Silva, Haupert, Kchir, Klinge, Labidi, Nahhal, Pfrommer, Schleipen, Schulz, & Tortech (2016) proporciona una capa de transporte para la supervisión y el control además de un marco de servicios distribuidos de alto nivel y un sistema de gestión de datos.…”

Esta investigación cuantitativa, de tipo cuasi experimental, planteó generar una línea base de conocimiento relacionado con el uso de robótica industrial en los procesos de faenado de cerdos en torno a la parametrización de simulaciones de procesos. El universo de faenamiento de cerdos fue aportado por el Camal Municipal de Guayaquil, como zona de influencia de la Católica Santiago de Guayaquil (UCSG), identificado a través de las estadísticas y mantenidos por ese ente gubernamental en el Sistema de Información Nacional de Agricultura, Ganadería, Acuacultura y Pesca (SINAGAP). La población compuesta por la cantidad diaria de cerdos faenados que se registraron en un periodo de 26 semanas de trabajo. La muestra no probabilística quedó definida por el número de cerdos seleccionados en los 130 días de trabajo regulares. Las mediciones y análisis se obtienen al comparar los datos del grupo de estado inicial G2 contra el grupo de estado final G1, con el uso del software ABB Robot Studio 6.0.2. Se concluye acerca de la posibilidad de mejora promedio en un 4.63% en los valores del tiempo diario y en promedio 2090 minutos de trabajo por semana para el proceso de faenado de ganado porcino.

“…Concerning machine communications, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems use different communication technologies to automatically monitor and control remote machines/devices with or without any manual interaction [ 1 ]. Much work is being developed to promote connectivity and M2M communications, which is becoming one key topic for the future of industry [ 21 ]. In the M2M context, RFID is a well-known ICT technology for identification of objects and people using small cards called tags [ 22 ].…”

“…In other words, it is envisioned that IoT and CPPS can bring a similar big jump as those caused by the mechanical loom (first industrial revolution), by the Ford assembly line (second revolution), and the first programmable logic controller (third revolution) [ 31 ]. In this sphere, the advantages of OPC are able to address the challenges introduced by the Industrie 4.0 [ 39 ], being identified as a key technology to handle heterogeneous machine interoperability [ 21 ] and to achieve vertical integration in highly modular and multi-vendor production line [ 40 ].…”

The interconnection between sensors, controllers and instruments through a communication network plays a vital role in the performance and effectiveness of a control system. Since its inception in the 90s, the Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC) protocol has provided open connectivity for monitoring and automation systems. It has been widely used in several environments such as industrial facilities, building and energy automation, engineering education and many others. This paper presents a novel OPC-based architecture to implement automation systems devoted to R&D and educational activities. The proposal is a novel conceptual framework, structured into four functional layers where the diverse components are categorized aiming to foster the systematic design and implementation of automation systems involving OPC communication. Due to the benefits of OPC, the proposed architecture provides features like open connectivity, reliability, scalability, and flexibility. Furthermore, four successful experimental applications of such an architecture, developed at the University of Extremadura (UEX), are reported. These cases are a proof of concept of the ability of this architecture to support interoperability for different domains. Namely, the automation of energy systems like a smart microgrid and photobioreactor facilities, the implementation of a network-accessible industrial laboratory and the development of an educational hardware-in-the-loop platform are described. All cases include a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to automate and control the plant behavior, which exchanges operative data (measurements and signals) with a multiplicity of sensors, instruments and supervisory systems under the structure of the novel OPC architecture. Finally, the main conclusions and open research directions are highlighted.
