Reusable hardware and software model for remote supervision of industrial Automation Systems using web technologies

摘要

In this paper a new model for controlling and monitoring industrial Automation Systems will be described. The architecture of this model does not limit it to be connected to only one specific Industrial Automation System, but enables it to be connected to different systems simultaneously, as well as reused for new systems, packing any industrial communication protocol. Controlling and monitoring is then done through a network service that allows remote devices to access the Automation Systems. The basic components have their hardware and software described, as well as the interfaces with the industrial Automation System and components in between. Thus, the proposed structure is presented and later it is shown how it is possible to reuse this system for other applications.
