Abstract:
The growing interest in Industry 4.0 increased the search for technologies that can help in its implementation. This technology has also evolved over the years enabling an increasing deployment of these industries. The Internet of Things (IoT), communication machine-to-machine (M2M) and Cypher Physical Systems (CPS) are essential for the implementation of Industry 4.0, while the Software Defined Networks (SDN), arrives as a new concept that can help in communicating devices that are part of the network that works with these industries. In our paper, we present an SDN architecture that implements the control plane together with the production control of an industry, where production decisions are passed directly to the SDN controller. In addition to the implementation of SDN communication, we also show the communication using a traditional network of computers. To validate the SDN architecture, we perform some simulation in scenarios of Industry 4.0, where success was obtained in the communications of industrial components.
