Multi-protocol Data Aggregation and Acquisition for Distributed Control Systems

摘要

In modern automated industrial plants, the share of components embedded in a complex network using nowadays communication protocols grows. This leads to plants having several interfaces which offer data and which must be addressed during commissioning. To ease integration and avoid errors, communication interfaces of all involved components can be aggregated. However, as the components’ cooperation realises higher level functions-in the plant, it is necessary to enhance aggregations with a plant-specific information model, that incorporates aggregated data and abstract specific plant functions. This paper introduces a model-driven approach to realise locally deployable data aggregation systems that integrate plant-specific information models.
