Problems solved by technology

[0003] Due to the above limitations, the deployment of conventional industrial control systems involves a lot of engineering effort and overhead
Furthermore, in most cases, adding new field devices (i.e., sensors and / or actuators) to an automated factory may not be accomplished without the need to reconfigure and reboot the industrial control system

Embodiment Construction

[0024] The embodiments described below relate to the improvement of an industrial control system in the form of the well-known SCADA system, which can be used to monitor or control the technical processes of any automated factory. For example, an automated factory can be a factory used to manufacture or produce products. Furthermore, an automated factory can refer to a power plant, for example, a nuclear power plant or a power plant based on renewable energy.

[0025] Such as figure 1 The SCADA control system shown in contains a SCADA core and a control logic CL communicating with a generic interface module IM and a service-oriented module SOM. hereinafter in Figure 1 to Figure 3 Communication between the components shown in is indicated by double arrows. The generic interface module IM couples the external information systems IS1, IS2, IS3 and IS4 to the control logic CL, and the service-oriented module SOM couples the plug-and-play field devices FD1 and FD2 directly to t...

Abstract

The invention refers to an industrial control system for monitoring and controlling an automation plant, comprising a control logic (CL) for communicating with a plurality of field devices (FD1, FD2, FD3, FD4) comprising one or more sensors and / or one or more actuators of the automation plant. The industrial control system (CS) includes - an interface module (IM) for coupling the control logic (CL) to one or more external information systems (IS1, IS2, IS3, IS4), the interface module (IM) being adapted to convert data of the respective information systems (IS1, IS2, IS3, IS4) into data of the control logic (CL) and vice versa; - a service oriented module (SOM) for coupling the field de- vices (FD1, FD2, FD3, FD4) to the control logic (CL), the service oriented module (SOM) being adapted to convert functions of the field devices (FD1, FD2, FD3, FD4) into field device services being accessible via the interface module (IM) by the one or more external information systems (IS1, IS2, IS3, IS4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to industrial control systems for monitoring automated factories. Background technique [0002] Industrial control systems, such as the well-known SCADA systems (SCADA = Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) are usually operated by their operators as separate individual systems. Therefore, industrial control systems are limited in their flexibility to allow external services to support the control tasks of the industrial control system. In addition, today's state-of-the-art industrial control systems cannot be easily integrated into an operator's existing IT infrastructure. In other words, the human-machine interface of conventional industrial control systems is not flexible and does not allow easy access to system operations via existing IT infrastructure or even handheld devices. [0003] Due to the above limitations, the deployment of conventional industrial control systems involves significant engineering effort ...
