Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are at the core of the future industrial control systems. Most industrial CPSs are usually implemented over expensive and domain-specific hardware platforms, such as industrial embedded control systems, mainly for safety and security reasons. In less-critical applications the use of open, low-cost hardware platforms that provide adequate computing capabilities, such as microcontroller test boards, may provide an interesting alternative to reduce costs and reduce prototyping time. However, for most automation engineers working with this kind of platforms may become a daunting task because of the new concepts to be learnt. So, in the authors' view, it could be very valuable easing the application of current industrial standards on top of such low-cost platforms. In particular, the IEC 61499 standard provides a higher level of design, which allows combining software components in a flexible way, with independence of the underlying hardware. This work addresses the design of applications by means of the IEC 61499 standard on top of Raspberry Pi boards.

Execution of business processes is an important factor that distinguishes residential and office buildings based on their energy usage. Unlike residential buildings, in offices workflows determine how and when energy-consuming devices have to be utilized. Thus, energy efficient building automation systems for office buildings should take into account the dynamic and unpredictable nature of business processes. However, the existing systems lack this important feature. In this paper, a model for combining automation and business processes is proposed. The model is implemented using IEC 61499 Function Block architecture, multi-agent systems and ontology. The proposed method has been examined in a meeting room scheduling scenario, in which meeting scheduling and automated control of the meeting room equipment have been combined and the energy usage has been measured to evaluate the improvement in efficient use of energy using the proposed model.

Real-time Ethernet variants gain importance for communication infrastructure of various time-critical domains, such as in-car networks. Synchronous time-triggered traffic guarantees strict timing but requires a detailed schedule for all participants. Designing these schedules by hand is extensive work and with increasing network size almost impossible. In this paper, we contribute a mapping of the time-triggered network scheduling problem into the domain of multiprocessor scheduling. This set of transformation rules allows us to apply established scheduling algorithms as well as new strategies to organise time-triggered switched networks. Experimental results from a prototype implementation of a scheduling framework based on this mapping show the feasibility of our concept. The framework demonstrates a multiple solver approach that uses algorithms with different optimality criteria in parallel.

Many applications in factory and process automation require robust wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for collecting sensor data with sampling and transmission rates up to 100 Hz from battery powered sensor nodes. To establish real-time communication in a star network topology, the LLDN mode of IEEE 802.15.4e amendment was released. We present a demonstration system which applies a recently introduced relaying method compatible to the LLDN mode, which uses dedicated relay nodes, thus increasing the reliability of the network while reducing the energy consumption of the sensor nodes. Furthermore, packet combining schemes on packets received erroneously from both, sensor node and relay node, are proposed, applied, and analyzed. Measurements with the demonstration system have shown that 96.4% of these erroneous transmissions could be recovered correctly.

For a distributed embedded system (DES) to operate continuously in a dynamic environment, it must be flexible and highly reliable. This applies in particular to its communication subsystem. The Flexible Time-Triggered Replicated Star for Ethernet (FTTRS) aims at providing such a subsystem by means of a highly-reliable switched-Ethernet architecture based on the Flexible Time-Triggered paradigm (FTT), a master/slave communication paradigm where the master periodically polls the slaves using so-called trigger messages (TMs). In particular, FTTRS interconnects nodes by redundant communication paths provided by two switches, each embedding an FTT master that manages the communication. This allows FTTRS to tolerate the failure of one switch without interrupting the communication as long as the masters are replica determinate, i.e., provide identical service to the slaves. The master replica determinism entails the masters broadcasting their TMs in a lockstep fashion: when one master broadcasts a TM, the other should do the same quasi-simultaneously. In this paper we present a solution inspired by the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for achieving this lockstep transmission and preliminary results showing the precision with which we can synchronize the masters on a software prototype.

In this paper an FPGA-based wideband wireless channel emulator is presented which is suitable for early evaluation of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks in industrial environments. The emulator works in complex baseband and has a 100 MHz-wide RF interface which covers the full Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band of 2.45 GHz (2.4-2.5 GHz); this allows the direct connection of either custom or commercial WSN nodes to the emulator. The emulator has been deployed on a FPGA where a soft processor has been included, and is able to generate white Gaussian noise, and multipath and Doppler fading effects. In this paper the details of the platform are presented, and validation results are shown for its diverse functionalities. BER and PER values are also presented which have been obtained for AWGN and Rayleigh channels using real WSN nodes connected to the emulator.

This paper focuses on energy optimisation in the context of lifts. Modern lifts embed batteries that are so far used only in emergency. We propose a multi-level optimisation strategy to reduce the electricity bill by combining harvesting, the grid and energy stored in batteries. The strategy combines several analytic components (forecaster, optimisers), modelled/measured variables, and is used by the control system. A coordination middleware enables the cooperation between the components embedded in the lift or located in the cloud, thus requiring communication through firewalls of different companies. Early results are presented. They illustrate new features for improving energy efficiency and they demonstrate our capacity to build such an optimisation architecture in a real environment. Part of the results are simulated to extrapolate the reachable energy gain.

The relevance and importance of industrial robots in manufacturing has increased over the years, with applications in diverse new and non-traditional manufacturing processes. This paper presents the concept and design of a novel friction stir welding (FSW) robotic platform for welding polymeric materials. It was conceived to have a number of advantages over common FSW machines: it is more flexible, cheaper, easy and fast to setup, and easy to program. The platform is composed by three major groups of hardware: a robotic manipulator, a FSW tool and a system that links the manipulator wrist to the FSW tool (support of the FSW tool). This system is also responsible for supporting a force/torque (F/T) sensor and a servo motor that transmits motion to the tool. During the process, a hybrid force/motion control system adjusts the robot trajectories to keep a given contact force between the tool and the welding surface. The platform is tested and optimized in the process of welding acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plates. Experimental tests proved the versatility and validity of the solution.

Recent trends in industrial manufacturing impose the adoption of changeable systems, based on reconfigurable and flexible equipment. In this scenario, industrial robotics platforms are central to design highly reconfigurable systems. A Robotic Reconfigurable Machining Platform (RRMP), as defined, is a modular architecture for robotic workcells, designed in order to exploit the flexibility features of robots and extend their field of application to high precision machining. RRMP calibration is a key task, which involves calibration of tools, workpieces and peripherals. However, state-of-the-art calibration methods and tools lead to hardly predictable system downtime, which impacts the reconfiguration phase. A novel method to perform the workpiece calibration is proposed for the reduction of the reconfiguration efforts in RRMPs. The method is addressed through a full integration with a virtual environment for robot simulation and programming. The method is finally applied to an industrial case study and compared to the most widely diffused online approach.

Cooperative cyber-physical systems (CCPS) are driven by the tight coordination between computational components, physical sensors and actuators, and the interaction with each other over system bounds. The software development of CCPS is getting more complex because of the tight integration, heterogeneous technologies, as well as safety and timing requirements. Therefore, new engineering approaches, such as model-driven development methods, are required, along with communication architectures with self-* capabilities. Both will support the developer in specifying such a system effectively and efficiently. However, the application of such techniques for the development of CCPS has not been addressed sufficiently so far. This paper presents an experience report of developing a cooperative delta-robot system that juggles a ball without a central control or camera system. For the development, an intelligent network architecture and model-driven development method for CCPS are applied.
