Diseño de comunicación basado en contenedores para la industria 4.0

Abstract

It is necessary to know that industry 4.0 is based on the management of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, which requires the adoption of new platforms and standards. The research project had as objective the development of an adaptable, dynamic and interactive control system to any process of a manufacturing industry. This interaction poses challenges in terms of security, scalability, and interoperability. The program design methodology was based on the parameters of the international standard IEC 61499 and uses containers to virtualize production processes, proposing the visualization of predictable errors during program management. The system design includes data acquisition via a CPU 1515SP PC2 F (IPC) and sending this data via Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to the running Docker containers. on the Raspberry Pi. The containers are stored in a repository and uploaded and downloaded to the card through FBs created for container control. The container based ommunication system allows monitoring the process through a graphical interface using the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) communication protocol. The results during the performance tests of the system behavior in relation to the expected outputs were that: for the TCP/IP protocol the response range was from 0.006 to 0.109 ms and for the MQTT protocol the interval was from 0.00095 µs to 0.000561 µs.
