Abstract:
Digital Twin (DT) emerged as an Industry 4.0 concept that reflects the behavior of physical entities and processes in the digital environment providing real-time information and insights. Typically, DTs are deployed on specific scenarios or components, virtualizing services and monitoring process variables. This extremely focused software implementation makes harder the adaptation and replication of DTs for new components with similar characteristics. This work's main goal was to develop a flexible platform that facilitates the implementation and modification of DTs for IEC-61499 compliant Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), allowing their functionalities management and variables monitoring. The DT component was integrated into a web-based platform (Jurassic Park) that manages IEC-61499 compatible devices executing the runtime environment (DINASORE). The platform was validated in 2 different scenarios, 1) in a distributed system composed of different DTs and 2) controlling a gripper of a robotic arm.
