Embracing new technologies in this digital reform is the need of the hour for next generation process and factory control automation. As a result, companies are anticipating a data deluge from intelligent sensors, actuators and robots among other industrial equipment. They are gearing up for exponential adoption of computing power, 5G, AI, ML, Big data analytics, 3D technology, new HMIs with touchscreens, AR\/VR capabilities among others to help them in their digital transformation journey.<\/p>\n
However, the current scenario in the process control automation industry in the lower layers like L0, L1 and L2 layer is a closed, highly proprietary and distributed setup with several OEMs, multiple vendors, systems integrators and business stakeholders being directly involved.<\/p>\n
They are challenged by end-user demand for standardization in the OT layer, enabling interoperability among process automation<\/a> technologies, along with providing a holistic view. The business need to reduce capital and lifecycle costs for process control; making scalability and cybersecurity an integral part of these systems is another compelling factor.<\/p>\n The Open Process AutomationTM<\/sup>Standard (O-PASTM<\/sup>Standard) or \u201cStandard of Standards\u201dpopularly known addresses this immense pressure to provide an open, interoperable, and secure-by-design process automation systems architecture. This standard ensures interoperability among existing control systems at every level, providing certified systems and components that conform to agreed upon set of standards. This will also address both business and technical challenges in process automation seen in many different vertical industries.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a quick uptake on the O-PASTM<\/sup> Standard\u00a0and how it\u2019s going to play a major role in the future of the process automation industry.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”29px||29px||true|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”Service Section Title” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_enable_color=”off” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”85%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||15px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px||0px|false|true” animation_direction=”top” saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n ” content_phone=”<\/p>\n ” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_text_color=”#747d88″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.9em” header_2_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#1e1e1e” header_2_font_size=”34px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” text_orientation=”center” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|true” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” animation_direction=”bottom” header_2_font_size_tablet=”45px” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_line_height_tablet=”1.8em” header_2_line_height_phone=”1.4em” header_2_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment_tablet=”” module_alignment_phone=”center” module_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” header_2_text_color__hover=”#02458b” header_2_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Subtitle” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ text_font=”Poppins|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”center” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”5px|5px|5px|5px|true|true” animation_direction=”bottom” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment_tablet=”” module_alignment_phone=”center” module_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]The \u201cStandard of Standards\u201d is an initiative started in 2016 by The Open Group Open Process AutomationTM<\/sup>Forum (OPAF).

devices where the PLC\u2019s, DCS, sensors, actuators and IO devices operate. Here the industrial process data is continuously collected, transformed, transmitted and ingested across the network\/communication layers for it to make sense by the various stakeholders like operators, system integrators and business leaders.<\/p>\n In the current setup, with OPC UA we are able to obtain unified and consistent data from any layer (from L1, L2, to L4, L5 layer). With this standard, the intent is any component in the OPAF architecture should talk to any component across the network\/communication layers.<\/p>\n With OPC UA providing standardization in the higher layers, the automation industry faced additional pressure to provide standardization even in the lower network levels. The question now is how to leverage the O-PASTM<\/sup>Standard and its various open process automation (OPA) technologies in next generation process control systems. This is possible with an OPA-based control system designed to support integration of best-in-class components and provide both configuration and application portability across components from different suppliers.

This bus is based on the OPC UA communication standard that allows the gateway DCNs to provide the raw process data to the advanced computing platform (ACP) for further data processing. All this data orchestration and system management is handled by the OSM that is basically the brains behind the entire OPAF architecture.Open Process AutomationTM <\/sup>Standard
