Original Kurzfassung:
Current industrial automation systems integrate
structural information and component configuration data within
the code of their programmable logic controllers. This prevents
the demanded flexibility and adaptability of Industrie 4.0 systems.
The asset administration shell provides a defined mechanism
for finding, accessing and interpreting standardized and vendor
specific data of an asset.Within this work the asset administration
shell has been analyzed according to its structure, its location,
and its implementation forms. Based on that a concept is
proposed to provide event driven run-time access for components
to the asset administration shell, which enables an automatic
self-configuration infrastructure for component instances. The
proposed concept is applied on the logistic part of an aluminium
cold rolling mill, provided by the SMS group. For demonstration
the structural information of the logistic components has been
described in terms of an AutomationML file, which has been
loaded into a BaseX Database. The database content represents
the asset administration shell, which is accessed during runtime
by XQuery requests.
