Abstract

This paper summarizes the work around enhancing an existing Web-oriented Automation System (WOAS) that provides automation services; to support Virtual Devices (VD) that communicate directly with automation components like industrial controllers via Websockets. The presented architecture is a Cyber Physical System (CPS) oriented to production environments in the industry. After a short introduction a quick overview about the currently used technologies is presented. The central part of the work focuses on the implementation of the required interfaces on both sides of the system. The physical side uses a Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) as automation device. In the other side JavaScript and PHP are used to develop the client and server modules respectively. A simple demo application was created for the first tests and at the time, some basically delay measurements were realized.
