??

Instead:Machines should help humans in “their language”!Self-description reduces engineering

DB5 DW0 = 0x5128

- Huge documentation efforts- Different parameters for different vendors- High efforts for humans to understand

History: Humans had to learn how machines think and work

Who are you?

My name is R2-D2

Can you lift me up to

the second floor?

What is your

weight?

What can you do for

me?I can

navigate, lift, drill and cut

200 kg OK, let’s start

The self-description reduces configuration effort and supports quick understanding of information.

Commercial printers- Different vendors- Standardized connectors

USB / EthernetSupport profiles “I am a printer”

- Differentiate by functionality- All-in-once scan/fax/print?- Double side printing?- Colour? Combined or separate?- Print speed- Print costs- Easy to handle and interact- ….

Industrial devices / machines- Different vendors- Standardized connector: OPC UA

Support profiles “I am an RFID reader”- Build in security

- Differentiate by functionality- Reduce engineering costs

- Support standards- Easy network integration

- Costs- Throughput of machine- ….

Rich data modeling preserves source context

Vendors can extend the data model of each product (Companion Specification)

In a connected world security of data and services is THE critical key!(…VPN has nothing to do with security…)

OPC UA: security by design Who is allowed to access data? (on application level) Authentication (X509 certificates, user/password, kerberos)

Is the sender really the authorized application? Signing

Is the message correct or has it been corrupted? Encryption (SSL)

Access rights by User management Configurable access rights for services and data

on node level for different groups and users Full audit functionality included

Security on 3 levelsUser / Application / Transport

Who: Federal Office for Information Security (German Government BSI)Why: Because of relevance of OPC UA for German IndustryWhat: Security Evaluation of OPC-UA – finalized March 2016

Today 3 testbeds with integrated OPC UA

1. SMART MANUFACTURING CONNECTIVITY FOR BROWN-FIELD SENSORSThis testbed implements an alternative solution by substituting IO-modules that connect the sensors with the real-time automation system by a gateway that extracts the sensor data and transfers them to the IT system through an additional communication channel via OPC UA (IEC 62541).

2. TIME SENSITIVE NETWORKING (TSN) TESTBEDThe TSN technology will be used to support real-time control and synchronization of high performance machines over a single, standard Ethernet network, supporting multi-vendor interoperability and integration. OPC UA over TSN uses standard IT infrastructure for controller to controller communication between devices from different vendors.

3. SMART FACTORY WEB TESTBEDSecure Plug & Work techniques based on the standards AutomationML and OPC UA are applied to adapt factories on-the-fl y by inserting new manufacturing assets into the factory production with a minimum of engineering effort.

OPC UA is China national Standard

◦ TC124 started October 2016, working on the national standard◦ Formal release ceremony held

◦ Parts 1 - 12 have been completed and are released

Government official speech's◦ OPC UA is critical for factory automation “Made in China 2025”

German Industrie 4.0 requires OPC UA

Industrie 4.0 Basic list 7 criteria – 2 of them are OPC UA

There are 3 levels to reach:

- Industrie 4.0 Full- Industrie 4.0 Ready- Industrie 4.0 Basic

What is umati?

umati should enables machine tools and peripherals to connect to customer-specific IT ecosystems, inside or outside the production environment, via an open, universal interface – easy, secure, and seamless.

umati‘s core feature is standardized semantics,embedded in an information model based on the open communication standard OPC UA.

umati supports specific extensions for manufacturers and customers of machine tools.

umati aims to establish a worldwide standard for the connectivity of machine tools.

There‘s no better connection than that of a common language

‒ also for machine (tools).

“With OPC UA at the heart of Industie4.0, adopting the OPC UA technology and using it to its full potential in our factories is a natural progression.

Being a member of the OPC Foundation guarantees early information to upcoming key technologies like the OPC UA Companion specifications which provide secured and standardized information and interfaces for assets.”

Michael Schweiger, Account & Demand Manager, Volkswagen

Prediction: End users will not order “just OPC UA enabled machines”

Instead the order will be like 1) OPC UA enabled, certified product2) Support specific information models: e.g. AutoID, or VDMA Robotics3) Future: Certified information model
