IoT vs Industrie 4.0What’s common – what’s different


ThyssenKrupp connected their elevators

to Microsoft Azure

Collect data from it’s sensors and systems

to improve operations

Goal: predictive and preemptive

maintenance

IoT: Simplified message:

IT companies provide agents for all platforms

Mostely to push data into their own cloud

“IoT starts with data in their cloud”

Cloud offers “new business with analytics”

Required:

“Just” data transport

no semantic

New Automation Technology

Integrated Gateway Solution

- PC based controllers allows Integration of IoT solution into controller

- One device: Highly integrated

- Directly: PLC code can initiate push of data on demand

- Save extra hardware costs

- Minimize components to be configured

Device

PLC

Microsoft IoT SDK

ML

Stream Analytics

- Gateways allows multiple protocol extensions

- Multiple protocols out of one box

- Easy „IoT enabler“ for existing environments

- Connect one or multiple devices to cloudT

- Independend from machine status: Not influencing process

BUT: No „end to end security“

Protocols like

- OPC-UA

- IEC61400-25

- Modbus TCP

Configuration through OPC UA Clients


Two new Sub-Groups of UA WG◦ Pub-Sub Prototyping and TSN Evaluation

◦ Kick-off on June 8, 2015

Pub-Sub Prototyping◦ 54 working group members

◦ Review of use cases and first draft spec finished

◦ Planning for prototyping started

TSN Evaluation◦ 55 working group members

◦ TSN is a standard real-time extension for Ethernet

◦ Collection of use cases and requirements


New use cases from OPC members driven by wide adoption of OPC UA

Large scale (one to many, many to one, many to many)

Configured controller to controller communication (PLCopen WG)

Black channel for safety (OMAC use case)

High speed data streaming (no reliable transport)

Location transparency

Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) connectors

Integration with message brokers

Cloud connectivity

Clients and Servers behind firewalls (Relay)


- Collaboration: Key for adoption and growing visibility

Industrial Automation is and will be “home ground”

OPC-UA will grow into other markets due to security and

modeling capabilities

► Direct connection between machines and higher level

systems (i.e., ERP, MES, SCADA or SAP), with the

integrated OPC UA server

► Variety of supported PLCs: Siemens SIMATIC S7 and S5,

Rockwell ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers with

Modbus TCP and RTU (Wago, Beckhoff, Phoenix,

Schneider, etc.), Mitsubishi (Melsec-Q), etc.

► Network separation by physically independent ports

► Easy configuration: Symbol import for Siemens and

Rockwell PLC, without PLC engineering, online-diagnostic
