A Novel CPPS Architecture Integrated with Centralized OPC UA server for 5G-based Smart Manufacturing

Abstract

The deployment of a Cyber Physical Product System (CPPS) is an important system that must be accompanied in order to build a smart factory. Based on 5G network, it is true that Smart Factories move physical factories to a digital-based cyber world through CPPS and monitor and control them intelligently and autonomously. However, the existing architectures of CPPS present only abstract modeling forms of architecture, and there was a lack of research into applying the OPC UA Framework (Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture), an international standard for data collection and exchange at smart plants, as the basic framework of CPPS. Architecture Configuration This enables the implementation of CPPS, which can include both cloud and IoT, only when field data distributed under a CPPS architecture is collected and centralized on a centralized server. In this study, a CPPS architecture was implemented through a central OPC UA server that applied the technology system to the OPC UA Framework compliant with the Central Processing UA Framework based on the 5G network, and a CPPS architecture, including how the OPC UA modeling process automatically generated CPPS logic and data processing processes, were actually implemented to study its performance and availability.
