“…In the energy automation sphere, despite the definition of communication standards focused on electric utilities like the IEC 61850, IEC 61970 or DNP3, OPC is profusely used for grids and noticeably for SGs [24], where OPC UA is signaled as one of the fundamental standards for automation and communications [150].…”

“…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.

Industrial monitoring environments have evolved from single monolithic systems to widely distributed heterogeneous systems. These include the Internet of Things, Industrial IoT, Cyber-Physical Systems and Enterprise Application. One of the key challenges is the integration of heterogeneous systems and data exchange interoperability. In the industrial smart gas project in which this work takes place, current standard-based or middleware solutions are not sufficient to handle these issues and often require specific ad-hoc developments. This paper proposes a generic, modular, and extensible interoperability architecture based on modeling principles. We provide a free software implementation and illustrate the approach on industrial usecases. Some criteria are then proposed for a first qualitative evaluation.

Supervision systems for smart gas distribution networks are heterogeneous environments consisting of various types of systems. One of the key challenges is the exchange and the aggregation of data between such components. Although these systems of systems use standards to achieve a significant level of interoperability, centralized standard-based solutions do no fully address existing industrial issues. Based on the experience and developments realized in an industrial-academic French national project, this article proposes the use of modelbased engineering principles to support interoperability between systems in order to achieve supervision goals. The proposed SmartHub, which distinguishes between configuration and operating data exchanges, is described through its application on two real-word industrial scenarios.
