Experimental Platform for Testing Open Process Automation Technologies Based on OPC UA and IEC 61499
This paper presents a process control system platform for testing Open Process Automation technologies and Industrial Internet of Things attributes. The platform comprises a temperature process and two controllers running a distributed IEC 61499 function blocks application. The OPC UA protocol is used for the data exchange between the devices, with the definition of an information model. A test was performed by connecting an external client to the platform to monitor and control the process variables. By combining the IEC 61499 distributed control applications with the OPC UA protocol, the setup is used to assess the attributes of interoperability, modularity and application portability.
