Abstract

Abstract:

With standardization of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) software and the development of 5G networks, PLCs are transforming from dedicated control devices to providing software services. Industrial control is moving from the field to ubiquity, and from hardware-software integration to software-defined development. This paper proposes a new 5G industrial control system based on 5G virtualization PLC as the technical foundation by analyzing the evolution trend of industrial control systems. Then, it expounds the technical characteristics of 5G virtualization PLC from architecture and key technologies, and introduces the technology practice of 5G virtualization PLC carried out with 5G industrial control gateway. Finally, it looks forward to the development trend of virtualization PLC and analyzes the challenges faced by the development of 5G virtualization PLC technology.

Key words: virtualization PLC, 5G industrial control, real-time virtualization, end-edge-cloud collaboration
