These requirements include, among others, a dynamic reconfigurability, software reusability and an external service orchestration. This work presents the design of an industry 4.0 compliant control software architecture resulting from an iterative design process. The architecture is based on the reconfiguration services of the IEC 61499 standard and the service orchestration via OPC UA. We demonstrate the software architecture's compliance to the industry 4.0 requirements on an aluminum cold rolling mill plant demonstrator.}, doi = {10.1109/ETFA.2017.8247718}, keywords = {Industry 4.0, MbSE, model-based systems engineering, OPC UA, IEC 61499}, }
