Abstract
The field of industrial automation has undergone exponential growth in the past century. The various industrial revolutions have impacted industrial automation to a great extent. Industrial Products such as controllers, drivers, and field devices have undergone various changes to meet user demands. Of these demands, features such as interoperability, reduced cycle time, increased productivity, and security stand out. This paper deals with interoperability issues with different vendor controllers and softwares for accessing data. It also describes the concept of accessing servo drive parameters such as position, velocity, acceleration, deceleration, etc. from different motion controllers through third-party software such as MS-Excel using the OPC UA protocol. To validate our software architecture, we have built an XY axes plotter system, which has the ability to draw a 2D sketch. This simplified architecture is used to demonstrate the industry 4.0 based OPC UA concept for the educational community.
