contents In the past few years, there has been a growing significance of interactions between human workers and automated systems throughout the factory floor. Wherever static or mobile robots, such as automated guided vehicles, operate autonomously, a protected environment for personnel and machines must be provided by, e.g., safe, deterministic and low-latency technologies. Another trend in this area is the increased use of wireless communication, offering a high flexibility, modularity, and reduced installation and maintenance efforts. This work presents a testbed implementation that integrates a wireless framework, employing IO-Link Wireless (IOLW) and a private 5G cellular network, to orchestrate a complete example process from sensors and actuators up into the edge, represented by a programmable logic controller (PLC). Latency assessments identify the systems cycle time as well as opportunities for improvement. A worst-case estimation shows the attainable safety function response time for practical applications in the context of functional safety.
