4 Messe Aktuell MIttWOCH 24 NOveMber New alliance based on IEC 61499 Meinrad Happacher Computer AUTOMATION Vendorindependent automation This demand is at the heart of the newly founded UniversalAutomation Org The alliance aims to use the IEC 61499 standard to create new opportunities for engineering more efficient and flexible plants Due to proprietary manufacturerspecific control systems extensive interoperability between the control components of different manufacturers is not possible today In addition software can only be ported from one control system to the next with a great deal of engineering effort UniversalAutomation Org which was founded at the beginning of November 2021 is calling for a rethink of automation Its goal manufacturerindependent and softwarebased automation „By founding UniversalAutomation Org we want to hit the reset button on automation “ said John Conway CEO of the new organization „We are embracing IEC 61499 as the standard for interoperability creating a foundation for a new more open and most importantly more sustainable and efficient industry of the future By decoupling hardware and software we offer OEMs and end customers completely new ways to get the most out of plants and machines - especially when it comes to bringing together different technologies “ To provide a basis for simplified engineering of contemporary plants UniversalAutomation Org members are now relying on the reference implementation of an IEC-61499-based control runtime Softwarebased and manufacturerindependent „IEC 61499 provides for an objectoriented approach that allows automated applications to be modeled purely on the software side and distributed to hardware components in a decentralized manner This creates an important basis for simplified and less errorprone engineering “ adds Gregory Boucaud Chief Marketing Officer of UniversalAutomation Org This is mainly due to the fact that according to IEC 61499 special function blocks are used that encapsulate and map objects of a plant - such as a specific application - with their respective physical and logical behavior This makes seamless integration into the control application possible Since these function blocks not only have inputs and outputs for data but also for events eventdriven pro-Gregory Boucaud Chief Marketing Officer „Our goal is simplified and less errorprone engineering “ Im ag e Un ive rsa l Aut om at ion John Conway CEO „We‘re hitting the reset button for automation “ Im ag e Un ive rsa l Aut om at ion gram processing can also be implemented Without special consideration of the underlying hardware configuration entire systems or plants can then be modeled with the help of appropriate engineering tools and their control logic freely distributed to different devices This promotes wideranging system openness on the basis of interoperability and portability Thanks to the fundamental hardware independence in combination with objectbased programming according to the idea of UniversalAutomation Org automation applications can be downloaded in the future as if from an app store and used simply by plug produce Anew category of softwarecentric automation components is thus to be created Membership in the new organization is open to all interested parties Current members include Aalto University Advantech Asus Belden Cargill eaw Relaistechnik GmbH ESA ETP Flexbridge GR3N Hirschmann HTW Berlin Intel Jetter Johannes Kepler University Linz Kongsberg Maritime Lawrence Technological University Lumberg Automation Phoenix Contact ProSoft R Stahl Schneider Electric VP Process Wilo Wood Yokogawa universalautomation org hilscher com sensorEDGE JUST CONNECT AND FETCH DATA WORLDWIDE INSTANTLY Besuchen Sie uns auf der sps 2021 Halle 5 Stand 130 Hilscher Just Connect and Fetch Motiv 2 255x116 TZ-SPS21 Tag 2 pdf S 1 Format 255 00 x 116 00 mm 10 Nov 2021 11 34 11
