The invention relates to an industrial system comprising machines, systems for controlling machines connected by a first communication network, and a gateway intended to connect the first communication network to a second communication network. The gateway comprises a memory and comprises a processor configured to copy to the memory first data transmitted over the second communication network and relating to the operation of the machines.

A closed-loop control device to control a system to be controlled includes a front node, back node, external tapping point, controller and compensating circuit. The compensating circuit has an inner node, frequency filter, front buffer and back buffer. The front node determines a difference; the back node supplies an external sum signal. A setting device automatically suppresses use of the output signal of the front buffer, supplies the back buffer and the back node with a first excitation signal as the compensation signal and detects a first result signal produced by the first excitation signal. The first result signal is one of the control difference, internal sum signal, output filtered signal of the frequency filter or output signal of the front buffer. The setting device evaluates the first excitation signal and the first result signal, sets a parameter of the frequency filter and the second propagation delay.

A system and method for collecting real time manufacturing data from a factory having multiple machines therein using internet-of-things (IoT) connectivity, comprising: at least one gateway comprising at least one server, the at least one gateway receiving data from the multiple machines; at least one machine communications module (MCM) that applies to the received data at least factory, enterprise, and analytics applications, and which outputs command and control information from the applications to the at least one gateway to directly control operations of the multiple machines; wherein the gateway provides security isolation on the machine side of the gateway, and encryption, authentication, and authorization security on the MCM side of the gateway; and wherein the applications process and normalize data from at least a plurality of types and generations of the multiple machines.
