Abstract

The increasing demand for flexibility in factory automation has led to the need for high interoperability between controllers, sensors, and actuators. This paper demonstrates how the interoperability provisions developed by the Open Process Automation Standard (OPAS) can be used to improve the interchangeability and interoperability of controller function blocks in cascade control. We also show how this development enables easier integration of IIoT devices into process automation applications. This article demonstrates how OPAS development improved interoperability between controllers and IIoT devices while reducing on-floor system integration efforts by bringing the required transparency between the OT and IT layers in the factory.
