Evenbeyond2006,thefutureofautomationengineeringwill.docVIP

Even beyond 2006, the future of automation engineering will continue to be determined to a large extent by the familiar technical trends of recent years. It is remarkable how long it takes, even in such a highly innovative sector as automation engineering, for a discernible technical trend to become the recognized state of the art, and how long that takes to penetrate the entire range of applications. PLC In my opinion, the main trends that will occupy automation in the near future include:?Further progress of distributed systems?Penetration of Ethernet to the field level?Intelligence of field devices and drives?New, low-cost sensors?Wireless communication?Vertical integration with company-wide networking of processes PLC资料网 For system development and architecture, the issues of integration and standardization, component-oriented automation, embedded operating systems, and Web-based technologies continue to present exciting challenges. PLC资料网 Also of interest are entirely new concepts driven above all by users like the automotive industry, mechanical manufacture, or process engineering. New demands, but also new business opportunities, will arise for automation manufacturers from emerging technologies such as the digital factory, augmented reality and micro process engineering. 译文，By Gongkong PLC 自动化面临未来新的挑战 包括2006年在内，未来自动化的发展很大程度上将取决于近几年技术的发展趋势。重要的是，在自动化工程这一新兴领域中，一种技术发展趋势成长为为广大用户所接受的经典技术、并进一步渗透到各行各业的应用中，所需的时间有多长。 就我看来，以下几点可以概括自动化未来几年的发展趋势： ?分散系统的更深发展?以太网向现场总线渗透?现场装置及驱动产品智能化?新的，更便宜的传感器?无线通讯?公司大范围的网络过程垂直统一管理 就系统的研发和设计而言，我们将继续面临系统集成标准化，面向组件的自动化，嵌入式操作系统以及网络技术等一系列问题。 有意思的是，一些新的技术理念最开始都是被自动化行业，机械制造及过程工程的用户们所驱使产生的。自动化制造商要寻找新的市场需求和新的商机，不防去新兴的技术领域找找看，如数字化工厂，增强现实技术以及微细加工工程。 本文的作者斐德思:2006年10月至今??西门子（中国）有限公司自动化与驱动集团自动化系统部总经理 我在中国工控网上看到了他的这篇文章,觉得他对自动化未来几年的发展趋势概括得很精辟,对我们工控人来说指明了发展的方向,所以将他的文章转过来了!-
