Representative Wireless Control Applications Study in Manufacturing Industry

Performance Work Statement

I. BACKGROUND

The Advanced Network Technology Division (ANTD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is collaborating with the Intelligent Systems Division (ISD) at NIST to develop a best-practice guideline for deployment of wireless technology in smart manufacturing environments.

Much of ANTD’s efforts have concentrated on channel propagation modeling in industrial environments and developing evaluation methodologies to measure the impact on control performance of imperfect wireless transmissions of plant control updates.

ANTD has developed a software evaluation framework for wireless data transmissions in a standard chemical production plant and evaluated individual packet receptions in harsh industrial environments. ANTD has also conducted channel usage analysis based on passive channel measurements in different industrial plants and evaluated the impact of introducing new wireless applications from/on existing wireless users. ANTD wishes to leverage our past work to conduct a comprehensive survey of existing and potential wireless control applications and explore the wireless solutions that carry plant information in a highly reliable manner with low latency.

The objective of this requirement is to perform a survey of the manufacturing industry to develop a representative of wireless control use cases. This would also require expanding the plant model library in the simulation-based evaluation framework to include additional representative plant models with more rigid latency and reliability requirements on transmission of sensing data and control commands.

II. SCOPE OF WORK

The Contractor shall develop and complete a survey to identify use cases of wireless control applications in manufacturing industry and develop simulation models for the identified use cases in the existing software evaluation framework. The Contractor shall also explore candidate wireless solutions to meet the data transmission requirements in the identified use cases and design the network interface to the new plant model in co-simulations.

III. SPECIFIC TASKS

The Contractor shall be responsible for project oversight, equipment, administration, and technical execution of this contract. The Contractor shall deliver a report on representative use cases of wireless control application in manufacturing industry and new simulation software modules with the following specific tasks in the twelve months of the project.

1. Conduct a survey to identify representative use cases of wireless control applications in manufacturing industry. Collaborate with Engineering Lab researchers to design scenarios that shall serve as the reference model in the other tasks listed below. Identify wireless transmissions in the plant data network along with their performance specifications in individual control use cases.

PAGE 6 OF 21 SB134117RQ0281

2. Develop a mathematical model to capture the main features of physical activities of the identified use cases in Task 1 and build a corresponding simulation module.

3. Design a wireless network solution for wireless transmissions in the identified use cases to meet key performance requirements specified in Task 1. Maintain project code and documents in NIST’s online repository on GitHub.

4. Design co-simulation experiments by integrating the physical system model and network model of Tasks 2 and 3, respectively, into the evaluation framework. Maintain project code and documents in NIST’s online repository on GitHub.

5. Demonstration of the control-and-network design in Task 4.

6. Follow the progress of emerging wireless communications and network technologies, e.g., massive and ultra-reliable and low latency communications, and research new deployment solutions to improve wireless transmission performance in the use cases in Task 1.

7. Write a paper based on the results and findings of the research, have it reviewed by the NIST staff member overseeing these activities, and submit a paper co-authored with the NIST staff member to an appropriate technical conference selected in consultation with the NIST staff member.

8. The contractor shall hold a monthly status meeting with the NIST Technical Point of Contact

PAGE 8 OF 21 SB134117RQ0281

Desired Output Required Service Performance Standard Monitoring Method

Mathematical models of the control systems in identified use cases and the corresponding simulation modules

The mathematic models depict the main functions of the modeled control systems in the identified use cases. Control mechanisms are applied to operate the system within the designed performance range.

The simulation code translates the temporal variation in the mathematical models into discrete time state transitions.

The differential equations in the mathematical models that depict the temporal variations in the control system shall abstract main functions of the control systems in the use cases. The process update step shall be with high temporal resolution (e.g., in 1-10 msec) to facilitate step-by-step analysis on the agile system response. The input, output and the state transitions in the model shall be clear in the design and well documented to enable repeatable experiments for verification.

NIST TPOC will review the progress of the model development and determine its acceptability.

Wireless network solution and co-simulation design/experiments

The wireless network design is capable of transmitting mission critical data between the gateway (hosting the controller) and the field instruments given the data transmission requirements in terms of throughput, reliability and latency. The network topology and per-link bandwidth scheduling can be programmed according to the specific control data requirements. New functions and configurations in the air interface need to be implemented in the simulator if required, e.g., frame structure, handshake protocol, energy saving mode, and control-data plane separation.

The proposed wireless network solution shall adapt to the data transmission requirements from the use cases. The latest progress in wireless research and standardization efforts shall be tracked in the related fields including massive Internet of Things and ultra-reliable low latency wireless communications.

The developed module shall be compatible with the network simulator to conduct experiments in comparison with the benchmark.

The contractor shall conduct a demonstration of the design/experiments.

NIST TPOC will review the design/experiments and determine its acceptability.

The final report covers the design, test and evaluation work in this project.

Demonstrations and suggestions on expanding the design to a hardware test bed are also desired as a project output.

Review the development of physical system model and network solution to develop guidelines for design of wireless control applications in representative use cases for manufacturing industry. Key design factors in machine-to-machine wireless solutions are identified and comparisons are made with traditional human-centric wireless communications (i.e., voice, video and Internet).

The final report shall be of high quality so that it can be submitted for publication at major IEEE conferences and journals related to industrial communications and wireless networks.

NIST TPOC will review the written report and determine its acceptability.

The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to make or approve any changes in any of the requirements of this contract, and, notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely in the Contracting Officer. In the event the contractor makes any changes at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract terms and conditions, including price.

. 12 1352.209-73 COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAWS (APR 2010)

The contractor shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations which deal with or relate to performance in accord with the terms of the contract.

. 13 1352.209-74 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (APR 2010)

(a) Purpose. The purpose of this clause is to ensure that the contractor and its subcontractors:

(1) Are not biased because of their financial, contractual, organizational, or other interests which relate to the work under this contract, and

(2) Do not obtain any unfair competitive advantage over other parties by virtue of their performance of this contract.

(b) Scope. The restrictions described herein shall apply to performance or participation by the contractor, its parents, affiliates, divisions and subsidiaries, and successors in interest (hereinafter collectively referred to as "contractor") in the activities covered by this clause as a prime contractor, subcontractor, co-sponsor, joint venturer, consultant, or in any similar capacity.

For the purpose of this clause, affiliation occurs when a business concern is controlled by or has the power to control another or when a third party has the power to control both.

(c) Warrant and Disclosure. The warrant and disclosure requirements of this paragraph apply with full force to both the contractor and all subcontractors. The contractor warrants that, to the best of the contractor?s knowledge and belief, there are no relevant facts or circumstances which would give rise to an organizational conflict of interest, as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5, and that the contractor has disclosed all relevant information regarding any actual or potential conflict. The contractor agrees it shall make an immediate and full disclosure, in writing, to the Contracting Officer of any potential or actual organizational conflict of interest or the existence of any facts that may cause a reasonably prudent person to question the contractor?s impartiality because of the appearance or existence of bias or an unfair competitive advantage. Such disclosure shall include a description of the actions the contractor has taken or proposes to take in order to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate any resulting conflict of interest.

(d) Remedies. The Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if the Contracting Officer deems such termination necessary to avoid, neutralize or mitigate an actual or apparent organizational conflict of interest. If the contractor fails to disclose facts pertaining to the existence of a potential or actual organizational conflict of interest or misrepresents relevant information to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the

PAGE 16 OF 21 SB134117RQ0281

contract for default, suspend or debar the contractor from Government contracting, or pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

(e) Subcontracts. The contractor shall include a clause substantially similar to this clause, including paragraphs (f) and (g), in any subcontract or consultant agreement at any tier expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The terms "contract," "contractor," and "Contracting Officer" shall be appropriately modified to preserve the Government?s rights.

(f) Prime Contractor Responsibilities. The contractor shall obtain from its subcontractors or consultants the disclosure required in FAR Part 9.507-1, and shall determine in writing whether the interests disclosed present an actual, or significant potential for, an organizational conflict of interest. The contractor shall identify and avoid, neutralize, or mitigate any subcontractor organizational conflict prior to award of the contract to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer. If the subcontractor?s organizational conflict cannot be avoided, neutralized, or mitigated, the contractor must obtain the written approval of the Contracting Officer prior to entering into the subcontract. If the contractor becomes aware of a subcontractor?s potential or actual organizational conflict of interest after contract award, the contractor agrees that the Contractor may be required to eliminate the subcontractor from its team, at the contractor?s own risk.

(g) Waiver. The parties recognize that this clause has potential effects which will survive the performance of this contract and that it is impossible to foresee each circumstance to which it might be applied in the future. Accordingly, the contractor may at any time seek a waiver from the Head of the Contracting Activity by submitting such waiver request to the Contracting Officer, including a full written description of the requested waiver and the reasons in support thereof.
