Abstract

The next industrial revolution, generally referred to as Industry 4.0, is already here. This envisions a rapid transformation in the design, operation and service of manufacturing systems, where machines, sensors and actuators are interconnected in the factories in order to enable spontaneous collaboration, monitoring and control. Currently, Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS) use regular Internet protocols (e.g. SOAP or HTTP) to communicate with each other. However, these protocols inherently present certain drawbacks or disadvantages: large footprint, CPU usage, high memory and energy consumption, etc. In recent years, new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) protocols have emerged to solve this issue, such as the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) and MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT). These are lightweight protocols designed to face the challenges of industrial environments with a small footprint and overhead. These protocols have different features in terms of communication model and Quality of Service (QoS), that make them more suitable to an specific domain. Thus, it is important to identify the right metrics to adopt the most appropriate. This paper presents a theoretical and empirical comparison of MQTT and CoAP in terms of network overhead and latency, to assist system designers with this decision. Furthermore we describe the quantitative comparison conducted with their implementation in hardware platforms with high constraints. The achieved results provide useful metrics and guidelines to help designers to choose the appropriate schemes for their implementations.
面向工业4.0的轻量级协议:基于实现的基准
下一次工业革命,通常被称为工业4.0,已经到来。这意味着制造系统的设计、操作和服务将发生快速转变,机器、传感器和执行器在工厂中相互连接,以实现自发协作、监控和控制。目前,网络物理系统(CPS)使用常规的互联网协议(例如SOAP或HTTP)来相互通信。然而,这些协议固有地存在某些缺点或缺点:大内存占用、CPU使用、高内存和能耗等。近年来,新的工业物联网(IIoT)协议已经出现,以解决这个问题,如约束应用协议(CoAP)和MQ遥测传输(MQTT)。这些轻量级协议旨在以较小的占用空间和开销来应对工业环境的挑战。这些协议在通信模型和服务质量(QoS)方面具有不同的特点,使它们更适合于特定的领域。因此,确定正确的度量标准以采用最合适的度量标准非常重要。本文在网络开销和延迟方面对MQTT和CoAP进行了理论和经验比较,以帮助系统设计人员做出决策。此外,我们还描述了它们在高约束的硬件平台上实现的定量比较。实现的结果提供了有用的度量和指导方针,以帮助设计人员为其实现选择适当的方案。
