摘要:

对高度个性化的产品以及灵活的生产线的需求日益增长,这带来了新的挑战。为了满足这些需求,未来的工厂必须具有高度灵活性和动态可重构性。当前的系统通常基于有线技术,用于连接传感器、致动器以及仅允许非常有限的动态的控制或监测设备。新的应用,如机器人、无人机或可重构生产线的使用,都需要利用无线通信技术。然而,当前的技术不能满足在延迟、鲁棒性、弹性和数据率方面的高要求。第五代(5G)蜂窝通信系统的引入将首次满足这些要求。除了在新工厂中使用基于无线电的解决方案(所谓的绿地场景)外,部署5G还代表了现有工厂(所谓的棕地场景)向工业4.0的有效迁移。为了确保在新5G技术的实际部署中确实满足具有挑战性的要求,正在TACNET 4.0项目中开发量身定制的架构。作为架构设计的基础,分析了第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP)考虑的代表性工业4.0应用场景,并符合相关标准化的最新发展也是我们的目标。本文概述了所考虑的用例以及相关的参考体系结构和TACNET 4.0体系结构的设计过程。

英文摘要:

The increasing demands for highly individual products as well as for flexible production lines represent new challenges. To address these demands, future plants must be highly flexible and dynamically reconfigurable. Current systems are usually based on wired technologies for the connection of sensors, actuators, and controlling or monitoring devices that allow only very limited dynamics. New applications, such as the use of robots, drones, or reconfigurable production lines, require the exploitation of wireless communication technologies. However, current technologies are not able to meet the high requirements in terms of latency, robustness, resilience and data rate. The introduction of the 5th generation (5G) cellular communication system will meet these requirements for the first time. Besides the use of radio-based solutions in new plants - so-called greenfield scenarios - deploying 5G also represents an efficient migration of existing plants - so-called brownfield scenarios - to Industry 4.0. In order to ensure that the challenging requirements are indeed meet in practical deployments of the new 5G technology, a tailor-made architecture is being developed within the Tactile Internet 4.0 (TACNET 4.0) project. As a basis for the design of the architecture, representative Industry 4.0 application scenarios, which are also be considered by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), were analyzed and compliance with the latest developments in the relevant standardization is also our target. The paper gives an overview of the considered use cases as well as the relevant reference architectures and the design process of the TACNET 4.0 architecture.
