Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS) enable flexible and reconfigurable realization
of automation system architectures, utilizing distributed control architectures
with non-hierarchical modules linked together through different communication
systems. Several control system architectures have been developed and validated in
the past years by research groups. However, there is still a lack of implementation
in industry. The intention of this work is to provide a summary of current alternative
control system architectures that could be applied in industrial automation domain
as well as a review of their commonalities. The aim is to point out the differences
between the traditional centralized and hierarchical architectures to discussed ones,
which rely on decentralized decision-making and control. Challenges and impacts
that industries and engineers face in the process of adopting decentralized control
architectures are discussed, analysing the obstacles for industrial acceptance and the
new necessary interdisciplinary engineering skills. Finally, an outlook of possible
mitigation and migration actions required to implement the decentralized control
architectures is addressed.The authors would like to thank the European Commission for the support,
and the partners of the EU Horizon 2020 project PERFoRM (2016b) for the fruitful discussions.
