SPOF—Slave Powerlink on FPGA for Smart Sensors and Actuators Interfacing for Industry 4.0 Applications

Abstract: We here present a new PLC-POWERLINK industrial solution for Industry 4.0 applications. The proposed solution provides the capability to separate the sensing functionality from the PLC-side, in demand for the reconfigurable FPGA implementation. In particular, we here provide a framework that supports the interfacing between the POWERLINK protocol and commonly used standards, such as I2C, SPI, and UART. This has been obtained by using a framework built around a soft IP-core Application Processor, which manages t… Show more

“…This automation increases productivity, reduces costs, improves efficiency, and increases safety [1]. There is growing talk of Industry 4.0 [2], in which manufactured products can control their manufacturing processes. Let us recall that in the first industrial revolution it was the question of the mechanization of the industrial processes.…”

“…However, ongoing advancements in PLC technology, including the integration of IoT and AI, are expected to mitigate these challenges and further enhance machine monitoring systems. IoT integration allows for remote monitoring and control of industrial equipment, reducing the need for on-site personnel and lowering operational costs, while AI algorithms for predictive maintenance can reduce downtime and improve efficiency (Valente et al, 2019)…”

“…Although GPU is originally designed for image processing, they are also widely used in data analytics since both image processing and data analytics involve intensive matrix calculations. Besides GPU, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are another computing unit to speed up data analytics (Valente et al, 2019 ). FPGA is an integrated circuit that consists of internal hardware blocks with user-programmable interconnects to customize operation for a specific application.…”
