Towards a OMG DDS communication backbone for factory automation applications

Abstract

Although a few industrial automation systems have also been implemented with DDS, this standard has not yet gained much significance in factory automation applications for several reasons. One of these reasons is that since DDS is aimed at a broad range of application domains and it may be necessary to provide certain guidelines in order to use it efficiently in factory automation applications by automation engineers. This paper fills this gap by analyzing the types of traffic found in this kind of applications and describing how to configure the QoS parameters DDS provides. It also presents an ongoing case study that illustrates the application of DDS as communication backbone in factory automation applications.

Management of industrial communications slices: Towards the Application Driven Networking concept

“…Cyclic variables and events can be spread to unicast, multicast or broadcast domains. [13] has proposed a mapping between different factory automation traffic types into DDS entities ( Table 2). A platform interconnecting Profibus and industrial Ethernet has been prototyped.…”

DDS‐based protocol‐compatible communication platform for mining power system

“…The author proposed a new scheme for video distribution over cellular networks to face increasing demand for high data rate and high-quality video live streaming [4]. Calvo et al [5] proposed a distribution data service communication backbone for factory automation applications, which may simplify the creation of factory automation applications based on modular approaches. Shah et al [6] proposed a cross-layer QoS communication framework in cognitive radio sensor networks to support reliable and real-time data delivery under adverse transmission conditions.…”

Piaget for the Smart Control of Complex Robotized Applications in Industry

“…The program can run in real time. Openness, Productivity, and Collaboration (OPC) (Son and Yi, 2010), Data Distribution Service (DDS) (Calvo et al, 2011) have also been developed for an industrial automation system, with a special attention on real time aspects of operating systems. These solutions have been demonstrated for some application niches, but current applications may be very varied and/or advanced (García et al, 2012); (Liu et al, 2012); (Maier et al, 2012); (Tsai et al, 2012).…”
