This new standard, also known as 10BASE-TIL, promises to overcome the limits of current physical layers used for field devices and bring them a step closer to Ethernet-based applications. The main advantage of 10BASE- TIL is that it can deliver power and data over the same line over a long distance, where traditional solutions (e.g., CAN, IO-Link, HART) fall short and cannot match its 10 Mbps bandwidth. Due to its recentness, IOBASE- TIL is still not integrated into field devices and it has been less than two years since silicon manufacturers released the first Ethernet-PHY chips. In this paper, we present a design proposal on how field devices could be integrated into a IOBASE-TIL smart switch that allows plug-and-play connectivity for sensors and actuators and is compliant with the Industry 4.0 vision. Instead of presenting a new field-level protocol for this work, we have decided to adopt the IO-Link specification which already includes a plug-and-play approach with features such as diagnosis and device configuration. The main objective of this work is to explore how field devices could be integrated into 10BASE-TIL Ethernet, its adaption with a well-known protocol, and its integration with Industry 4.0 technologies.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BudaSchuermannWollert2008, author = {Buda, Aurel and Sch{\"u}rmann, Volker and Wollert, J{\"o}rg F.}, title = {Automatische Generierung von Automatisierungsobjekten nach IEC 61131-3 zur einfachen Integration von Funkkomponenten in {\"u}bergeordnete Steuerungssysteme}, series = {Wireless automation : funkgest{\"u}tzte Kommunikation in der industriellen Automatisierungstechnik ; Tagung Berlin, 28. und 29.

Currently, developing prototypes with industrial sensors and actuators is not straightforward. First of all, the exchange of information depends on the industrial protocol that these devices have. Second, a specific configuration and installation is done based on the hardware that is used, such as automation controllers or industrial gateways. This means that the development for a specific industrial protocol, highly depends on the hardware and the software that vendors provide. In this work we propose a rapid-prototyping framework based on Arduino to solve this problem. For this project we have focused to work with the IO-Link protocol. The framework consists of an Arduino shield that acts as the physical layer, and a software that implements the IO-Link Master protocol. The main advantage of such framework is that an application with industrial devices can be rapid-prototyped with ease as its vendor independent, open-source and can be ported easily to other Arduino compatible boards. In comparison, a typical approach requires proprietary hardware, is not easy to port to another system and is closed-source.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BraunChengDoweyetal.2020, author = {Braun, Sebastian and Cheng, Chi-Tsun and Dowey, Steve and Wollert, J{\"o}rg F.}, title = {Survey on Security Concepts to Adapt Flexible Manufacturing and Operations Management based upon Multi-Agent Systems}, series = {2020 IEEE 29th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE), Proceedings}, booktitle = {2020 IEEE 29th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE), Proceedings}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York, NY}, doi = {10.1109/ISIE45063.2020.9152210}, pages = {5 Seiten}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The increasing digitalization brings new opportunities but also puts new challenges to modern industrial systems.

Commonly, different sensors are integrated into work environments to track workers' actions. Game elements are selected according to the work task and users' preferences. However, implementing gamified workplaces remains challenging as different data sources must be established, evaluated, and connected. Developers often require information from several areas of the companies to offer meaningful gamification strategies for their employees. Moreover, work environments and the associated support systems are usually not flexible enough to adapt to personal needs. Digital twins are one primary possibility to create a uniform data approach that can provide semantic information to gamification applications. Frequently, several digital twins have to interact with each other to provide information about the workplace, the manufacturing process, and the knowledge of the employees. This research aims to create an overview of existing digital twin approaches for digital support systems and presents a concept to use digital twins for gamified support and training systems. The concept is based upon the Reference Architecture Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0) and includes information about the whole life cycle of the assets.

In this work, we focus on creating a flexible learning platform that allows the user to select a training path adjusted to personal knowledge and needs.

Despite enhancing interoperability within a specific protocol, integrating these devices with diverse systems poses challenges due to data model fragmentation and custom interfaces. The absence of a universal semantic model for categorizing field device process data independently of standards necessitates engineers to repetitively devise custom exchange data models for different sensors and actuators, relying on standards like OPC-UA. In response, this work proposes an ontology-based architecture to tackle information data model fragmentation, aiming for seamless data interoperability across a universal interface. By focusing on two open-access field device standards, IO-Link and CANOpen, we compare their information data models, identify existing limitations, and put forth a semantic information model.
