Abstract:
The legacy protocols still used in industrial automation are an obstacle to interoperability. In the meantime, while newer protocols are slowly replacing gateways, they can provide a bridge between new and legacy pro- tocols. The Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL) was used in the Fog Computing for Robotics and Industrial Automation (FORA) project to model a Fog Computing Platform (FCP). Part of the FCP is an OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) / Data Distribution Service (DDS) gateway. The main goal was to develop an AADL model that allows the creation of platform- specific instances of such a gateway and the creation of other gateways. While the gateway model is incom- plete, it formed the basis for several gateway prototypes. Challenges included complex data structures and tool- ing issues related to code generation. Nevertheless, the experiences with the AADL modeling of the gateway and the FCP were positive overall.
