Motivation for the VDMA OPC Robotics Initiative

» There is currently no existing interface standard for robots» Users want one common future standard for vendor

independent access for information and more» Data should be usable in cloud applications as well as in

high level manufacturing system at the user» OPC UA provides standard mechanisms which will

support the goal of connecting machinery

make robotics ready for Industrie 4.0

The VDMA OPC Robotics Initiative


Some characteristics» Kick-off in February 2017» approximately 35 companies in the total working group» members of the core working group are vendors and users » organized as a joint working group by» 9 face-to-face two-days core working group meetings,

clarifications and preparations in sub groups in between and several online conferences

Proud to present at the automatica 2018» OPC UA Robotics, part 1 (Draft) » fair demonstrator with 8 vendors providing data by one

Scope of OPC UA Robotics


Purpose» the creation of an OPC UA Robotics Information Model which ‒ enables access to standardized data structures of robot systems ‒ is useable independent of robotic type characteristics

» therefore it must be‒ Scalable‒ Extensible‒ semantically self-describing with unified and unique terms for data

Agreement to proceed stepwise


OPC UA Robotics, part 1» Asset management» Condition monitoring» Preventive Maintenance» Vertical integration for‒ higher-level controls,‒ SCADA systems,‒ MES and‒ cloud

| July 20, 2018

OPC UA Robotics, subsequent parts: • methods and state machine(s) to initiate actions

at the robotic system• alarms and events for messaging and conditions• possibility to store customer specific information

inside the server e.g. ERP data, cost center

Definition of Robotics for the Companion Specification


The OPC UA Robotics CS describes an information model which aims to cover all current and future robotic systems

» industrial robots » mobile robots » several control units» peripheral devices, which do not have their own OPC UA server

A so called motion device system can consistof several manipulators and controls

» a robot on a linear unit working with two turntablescontrolled by one control unit

» a mobile platform with to robot arms

Outlook – Cross-domain interoperability


Activities to provide a cross-domain interoperability» VDMA “Type A” companion specification for harmonized

usage with machinery focus» OPC UA extensions and harmonisation» Planned workshop with representatives from automotive for

feedback loop» Planned cross-domain workshop within the three VDMA R+A

working groups Machine Vision, Robotics and IAS

OPC UA Demonstrator


Robotics condition monitoringdashboard demonstrates OPC UA Robotics, part 1

» Showcases applications» Visualizes a partial implementation

Applications of this demonstrator» Asset management» Condition monitoring» Preventive Maintenance» Vertical integration‒ Information flow from shop floor to cloud‒ ERP, MES, SCADA

VDMA

Robotics condition monitoring dashboard demonstrates vendor-independence


Access any of your robots,of any robot brand, at any time,anywhere in the world!
