This chapter explores the application of automation technology and its widespread adoption in various industries. The discussion will concentrate on the different system topologies and IT architectures commonly used in practice. It should be noted that the use of automation technology is heavily influenced by the specific requirements of each industry, requirements which will be discussed in detail in this chapter.
Relevant examples are used to analyze and illustrate how the typical system topologies and IT architectures are used in the automation of industrial production systems, products, and cyber-physical systems.
This involves exploring questions that illuminate the contextual conditions within the application areas, thereby fostering an understanding of the structures of automation technology, such as:
In which industries is automation technology currently being used, and what are the practical requirements?
What are the characteristics of the system topologies used in production and product automation and in the automation of cyber-physical systems?
Which contextual conditions within applications are responsible for practical IT architectures, and what examples can be cited?
In this context, we shall present some common explanatory models that describe the mindset of the relevant application areas of the industries in which automation technology is in use.How and Where Is Automation Technology Deployed? Exploring System Topologies and IT Architectures
