INDUSTRY 4.0 LEGACY SYSTEMS INTEGRATION CASE STUDY

G. Esteves Coelho, A. Ribeiro, J. dos Reis, C. Simões
Abstract:
This paper presents a methodology for modern systems integration of a legacy infrastructure. Commissioned in 1992 this infrastructure is used for large/industrial flow meter calibration and R&DI in Hydrology and Hydraulics. A solution for linking legacy devices and hardware in a new distributed system architecture, that foster future upgrades and modernization of the infrastructure, is proposed. The presented case study aims to overcome, in the industry 4.0 era, the constrains and limitations of proprietary legacy field bus (Modbus Plus) and the monolithic SCADA legacy approach and to provide a modern system integration towards a distributed IIoT architecture.
