Abstract
The invention relates to a device for use in production, which offers at least one production service or is connectable to a device offering a production service comprising a physical interface across which data in relation to at least one physical property are exchanged with at least one other device; further comprising a cyber physical interface across which data in relation to production service properties are exchanged with at least one other device; and comprising a communication interface across which at least one communication link having defined communication properties can be established. The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
Claims16
A device for use in production, the device providing at least one production service or being connectable to a device providing the production service the device comprising:
- a physical interface across which data in relation to at least one physical property are exchanged with at least one other device;
- a cyber physical interface across which data in relation to at least one production service property are exchanged with at least one other device;
- a communication interface across which at least one communication link having defined communication properties is establishable.
A controller for a communication network, the controller being configured to:
- receive communication service requests from and send commands to at least one device for use in production;
- and
- add and detach a device for use in production from a production network and inform at least one further device for use in production about changes in the production network.
A method for establishing a production interaction between a first device for use in production and a second device for use in production, the method comprising:
- establishing a physical link between the first device and the second device for exchange of data relating to at least one physical property of a device;
- establishing a cyber physical link for exchange of data relating to at least one production service property between the first device and the second device;
- deriving at least one communication property from one or more production service properties of the at least one production service property;
- requesting a communication link via nodes of a communication network between the first device and the second device with the derived at least one communication property.
