Desenvolvimento de um gêmeo digital para um manipulador robótico utilizando padrões abertos de automação.

Abstract

In recent decades, industrial advancements in manufacturing have been driven by the integration of robots, particularly robotic manipulators, which excel at performing repetitive tasks with high precision and speed. However, with Industry 4.0, there arose a need for more advanced and integrated systems, such as digital twins. The implementation of digital twins is important for improving the competitiveness and efficiency of industries, simplifying everything from development to the disposal of industrial assets. Nevertheless, there are still technologies to enhance the efficiency of digital twins, such as their application in distributed control systems, which is still limited and largely unexplored. This integration of digital twins in distributed control systems enables the creation of intelligent, automated, and self-managing distributed control systems. This work aims to construct a digital twin for the robotic arm available at the Laboratory of Electronic Instrumentation and Control (LIEC), implementing OPC UA in its communication channel and utilizing IEC 61499 to enable the implementation of distributed control.
