Press Release03 March 2023Digital IndustriesNuremberg
Siemens provides access to unused field data from production for the integration of IT and OT
Field Data Enablement via hardware or software
FDE will be available beginning in April as a hardware solution or as an
app: Both can be used independently. The SIMATIC FDE Gateway can be used to
access devices at the field level that aren’t connected to the automation or
controller by a permanent bus connection. The Field Data Enabler PROFINET app
can be installed on a SIMATIC IPC. Data acquisition occurs in parallel to
automation via an existing PROFINET connection. The app can also use this
connection to directly access all data from field devices that are connected to
the decentralized I/O system via IO-Link. This is how OT data, such as valuable
status information from the sensor, can be made available to IT. The
convergence of IT and OT enables secure, data-driven decisions.
Easy implementation in green- or brownfield
Field Data Enablement can be easily integrated in existing systems, because
no additional sensors need to be retrofitted. Operators can use sensors they
already use for automation in the OT layer for further analysis in the IT
environment. FDE is easy to configure with no need for programming. Instead of the
programming necessary for IoT solutions, all that’s needed is the configuration
of the existing information. In addition, parameters like context and semantic
reference can be reused, and no redefinition is necessary. This is how Field
Data Enablement is advancing the fusion of OT and IT in plants of all sizes.
