Internet of Things and PROFINET

 “Things” refer to any physical object with an IP
address can connect/send/receive data via a
network.
A vast topic

A report by the UK Government Chief
Scientific Adviser. Dec. 2014.
We are on the brink of a new industrial
revolution. I want the UK to lead it.

 Understanding of IoT
 Heating control using PROFINET
 Using PROFIBUS, PROFINET, IO-Link to do more
innovative projects

 “Industrie 4.0” originates from a project, a strategy for the
computerisation of manufacturing.
 first used in 2011 at the Hanover Fair.

Industry 4
 Introduced to us in the UK, 23/24 June 2015.
 Industry 4 is driven by IoT and is IoT in the
manufacturing sector.

 IIoT is the “IoT’s industrial applications.
 IIoT = Industry 4
 IIoT may ultimately dwarf the consumer side (IoT) in
potential business and socio-economic impacts.

IoT!
 Definition [ Buyya & Atzori]:
 Things - oriented  made up of sensors, actuators and
embedded communication hardware
 Semantic-oriented  knowledge (from data, “Big Data”);
Presentation—novel easy to understand visualisation and
interpretation tools which can be widely accessed on different
platforms and which can be designed for different applications.
 internet-oriented  communications or middleware, on
demand storage and computing tools for data analytics and
engineering

IoT – automated things
 The If This Then That website: “recipes” for
automating your tasks.
 Mechanical/electrical signals  Social signals

IIoT – Programming
 IF ‘Button1_On’ then ‘Fan_On’.

17

IIoT – we are so good at this …
 To extend the above logic with the following
functions:
 To count how many times Fan has been on
 Add a variable (R_edge) to remember when Fan
changes from Off to On  rising edge
 Code a Counter  IF R_edge, add 1.

 A web server is software you can access with a
web-browser. The webserver capabilities of the
new Siemens PROFINET controllers are vast.

PROFINET via the Internet

 Web-server acts as the gateway between a user
and a PLC, giving us access to:
 Diagnostics, data logs, and
 Custom configured web pages
 cccc
S7 1200 web server

28

 Custom configured web pages
 This is where we see links with IoT, escaping
expensive SCADA and OPC systems and creating
opportunities for software developers and end
users.
 AWP commands
 
 JavaScript
 alert ("Enter Temperature between 16 and 26");
