Comment:

Main IDS components used:

  • IDS Trusted Connector
  • IDS Broker

Approach:

  • Using MindConnectAPI that enables external services to connect with the MindSphereplatform
  • Development of an IDS connector that implements the MindConnectAPI and enables to share data between different actors in the use case (e.g. equipment manufactures and technology solution providers)

Manufacturing Service Buses for Data Interoperability

Comment:

ATS Bus   - Enabled a single, common service bus for data exchange between the PLCs and other high level components of the system, including a SCADA system. Used a broker-based publish-subscribe approach to decouple the physical sources and destinations of the data to facilitate reconfigurability.

Nservicebus  - The underlying technology which enabled the ATS Bus to exchange data.

OPC UA (Kepware) – Many devices could not interface directly with the service bus, so OPC UA was used to extract data and publish it to the service bus.

B2MML - Business To Manufacturing Markup Language
Comment:

B2MML  – Business to Manufacturing Mark-up Language. Data standard used to define the process (i.e. the set of operations to be carried out by the cell for each unique product), what resources are required for each process, the materials needed and more. The full process would be designed by engineers, and then the SCADA would break the ‘master’ B2MML process representation into sub-processes and send these to the resources via the service bus. These would then trigger the start of processes by the PLCs.

Comment:

All production cells are censorised and equiped with OPC-UA, that logs their state and sends it to a central server.
