plant and enterprise wide monitoring and optimization (IT level),

2 FDI is the enabler for I4.0 and IIoT FDI enables access to device information (OT level) for plant and enterprise wide monitoring and optimization (IT level), across various communication protocols FDI is an Integration Technology. FDI is NOT a Communication Protocol. 2

3 Reference Architecture for Industrie 4.0 (RAMI 4.0) Functional Layer: FDI Information Layer: FDI Communication Layer: OPC UA FDI integrates seamlessly into the Reference Architecture Model for Industrie 4.0 3

4 What is the Motivation Behind FDI? 1. Reduce lifecyle costs Currently EDDL and FDT technologies are recognized and widely used in the process management industry. Result is that the industry typically has to implement solutions for each technology, duplicating work. This also requires a variety of toolsets and skill sets be maintained. Goal: A single technology that leverages the best of both existing technologies. ONE Device ONE Package ALL Tools 4

vendors often have to develop custom DDs for

5 Motivation 2. Standardize Interfaces Pre-FDI host requirements and conformance tests did not drive interoperability Result is that device vendors often have to develop custom DDs for specific hosts Goal: A technology where DDs will operate consistently on every host 5

Motivation 3. Provides a scalable solution Whether you have a simple device or a complex device, the use of two technologies drives a similar workflow.

6 Motivation 3. Provides a scalable solution Whether you have a simple device or a complex device, the use of two technologies drives a similar workflow. Result is that it is expensive and difficult to roll out a device, even if it is a very simple device. Goal: A solution where a programmatic user interface is optional and used only when needed to address complexity. 6

It also requires installation of the DTM.

7 Motivation 4. Reduced dependence on IT platform Current programmatic UI solution FDT/DTM has a dependency on the operating system. It also requires installation of the DTM. Result is that the system is maintenance heavy. NAMUR does not want to install software with each device. Goal: A technology that has minimal dependency on the OS and IT platform

8 FDI The Big Picture Physical devices are virtualized in software as FDI Device Packages Packages are imported into an FDI Server Clients including systems, handhelds and cloud services get information from the server 8

9 FDI Device Packages The Core of FDI All these elements are packaged together in a digitally signed FDI Device Package 9

standard to the OPCUA for Devices (IEC62541-100)

11 FDI is a companion standard to OPCUA for devices The FDI Information model (IEC ) is a companion standard to the OPCUA for Devices (IEC ) OPCUA for devices defines the device model and its elements 11

Forward Focused Backward Compatible Millions of

configured, operated, and maintained by control

14 Forward Focused Backward Compatible Millions of devices worldwide are currently installed, configured, operated, and maintained by control systems and tools that support either the EDDL or FDT standards. FDI is designed to support FDI Device Packages as well as DTMs and EDDs in parallel. 14

15 Forward Focused Backward Compatible FDI Package in FDT Hosts FDI Hosts supports legacy EDDs 15

16 Current Challenge in Device Revision Management 16

17 FDI Package Repository - Solution to Device Revision Management 17

18 Compliance Testing & Registration A Product bearing the Registered Mark undergo a rigorous testing process FieldComm Group governs the overall process for all supported communication protocols 18

19 FDI Packages + OPCUA + Registration = Secure Stress-Free Integration into I4.0 world 19
