Abstract

The Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are an emerging paradigm based on exponential development within the design of complex industrial systems, which include a subset of control mechanisms and process monitoring through algorithms based on the development of software applications and included tightly within hardware devices of data acquisition adaptable and reconfigurable. These characteristics plays an important role in shop floor communications and control systems, because its main function is to provide flexibility in data management and easy integration into real physical systems. The current research work presents the design of a Data Acquisition System (DAS), based on the adaptability of software control skills integrated within a structural framework presented by the OPC UA (Unified Architecture), acting as a communication system, synchronization and data processing through a generic user interface where the control levels easily integrate the skills available in the system and synchronize their execution in real time in an optimal way.
