The objective of this work package has been to investigate, identify, and develop feasible combinations of mixed private and public communication solutions as the VAN overall networking concept. Furthermore, new aspects arising with the expected utilisation of a heterogeneous network infrastructure have been addressed which go far beyond the state of the art.
Achievements and Results
- Investigation, identification and development of feasible combinations of mixed private and public communication solutions for automation.
- New aspects arising with the expected utilisation of a heterogeneous network infrastructure which go far beyond the state of the art.
- Telecontrol profile: merging fieldbus and telecontrol technologies.
- VAN Routing for interconnecting industrial domains:
- Basic to achieve independence from the administration of the IT administered company network infrastructure.
- QoS monitoring for WANs (Wide Area Networks).
- Priority mapping for the related protocols and tools.
- On the fly switching of used infrastructure networks (VAN switching):
- E.g. between best matching technologies (incl. wireless) or
- Between service providers without interfering local manufacturing or process control.
- SLA template for automation.
