Abstract

A plug and produce capable framework has been designed based on UniFeBu, a manufacturer-neutral and uniform fieldbus access. An exploration agent scans the fieldbus and performs a basic configuration, offering simple communication with the new field device. A service system is then used to establish the real-time communication with the field device. The functionality is demonstrated with the help of a prototype implementation for Profinet IO.
