The development of OPC UA based EUROMAP
interfaces for the crosslinking of plastics and rubber machinery, preparing
them for Industry 4.0, is in full swing. With EUROMAP 77, the first finished
specification was published in May 2018.
The first draft for temperature
control devices, the so-called Release Candidate, had already been published in
February.
Together with an update of the draft, two
drafts for further peripheral devices are now published on www.euromap.org: hot
runner devices (EUROMAP 82.2) and liquid silicon rubber (LSR) dosing systems
(EUROMAP 82.3).
An expert group has also been working on an
interface for extrusion lines. They look at the extrusion line as a whole, and
its individual components separately. First drafts will presumably be published
by the end of October.
