Description
Scope of this activity is to perform a gap analysis on the current status of EdgeX microservices and deliver specific market requirements to other Working Groups.
Requirements
As part of the gap analysis, common requirements in Oil&Gas will be taken into account.
Design
| Area | Microservice | Gaps Identified | Criticality | Why Important | Recommended Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Device | OPC UA | New installations of SCADA systems are typically expected to be compliant with the OPC UA standard | HIGH | ||
| Device | OPC DA | Although OPC UA is an emerging standard, E&P Companies are still massively using OPC DA in legacy systems and in some cases in new installations as well | HIGH | ||
| Device | Modbus | Seems like the way the current Modbus | HIGH | ||
| Device | Zigbee | MEDIUM | |||
| Device | LoRa | ||||
| Device | GPS | ||||
| Device | Profinet | Siemens hardware is used in many Oil&Gas installations (e.g. North Sea) and Profinet I/O would be a suitable protocol for interfacing with EdgeX | MEDIUM | ||
| Device | OpenDDS | ||||
| Core | Data | ||||
| Core | Metadata | ||||
| Core | Command | ||||
| Support | Rules Engine / Analytics | ||||
| Support | Scheduling | ||||
| Support | Alerts & Notifications | ||||
| Support | Logging | Need to be able to specify persistency policies as logs are required to be assessed as per safety incidents | |||
| Export | Client Registration & Distribution | ||||
| System | System Management | Connection loss handling: changes made while offline will be cached and sent when connection is re-established | |||
| Security | Security | Need to lock down access to APIs from remote hosts not authenticated |
Code
If specific code addressing some of the identified gaps will be implemented as part of this project, the contributor will submit a PR on the relevant github repository.
Current status
Waiting on v0.5 release.
