This paper describes the automatic generation of sequence control programs for DCS(Distributed Control System), PLC(Programable Logic Controller) and so on. Since there is no same manufacturing process, it is difficult to standardize sequence programs. We propose the automatic sequence control program generator which is CAD software using knowledge engineering technique.

Estimating software development effort remains a complex problem attracting considerable research attention. Improving the estimation techniques available to project managers would facilitate more effective control of time and budgets in software development as well as market. However, estimation is difficult because of its similarity to export judgment approaches and fur its potential as an expert assistant in support of human judgment. Especially, in software development for DCS (Distributed Control System), because of infrastructure software related to target-machines hardware and process characteristics should be considered, estimating software development effort is more complex. This paper suggests software development effort estimation technique using neural network. The methods considered are based on COCOMO and case-based projects. Estimation results applied to case-based project appeared to have value fur software development effort estimation models.

OTS(Operator Training System) requires computation for the systematic training in real-time. So we have developed a distributed operator training system that is composed of workstation based server and PC based user modules. Sever and OM(OTS Manager) modules are located in the workstation server and user modules are located in PCs. User modules have DCS-like user interfaces and transfer data with OM over the coaxial ethernet. This paper delineates a total system architecture and definition of data transferring between OM and User module. Having applied this system to a batch process, we could analyze operator's tasks.

A conventional advanced control algorithm is proposed in this paper for improved temperature regulation of a TV-glass melting furnace. The TV-Glass melting furnace is a typical MIMO(Multi-Input Multi Output) system which is subject to various thermal disturbances. Because of its complexity, a detailed mathematical model of the furnace is hard to establish. To design a temperature control control system of the furnace, major input-output variables are selected first, and simple FOPDT(First Order Plus Dead Time) models are established based on the physical meaning and experimental process data. Based on the FOPDT models, a multi-loop control system composed of cascade and single loops are designed for effective control of the MIMO system. Practical implementation on the 150 ton/day furnace using the DCS(Distributed Control System) showed that the proposed control technique performs better than manual control.

Industrial control systems (ICSs) used to be operated in closed networks, that is, separated physically from the Internet and corporate networks, and independent protocols were used for each manufacturer. Thus, their operation was relatively safe from cyberattacks. However, with advances in recent technologies, such as big data and internet of things, companies have been trying to use data generated from the ICS environment to improve production yield and minimize process downtime. Thus, ICSs are being connected to the internet or corporate networks. These changes have increased the frequency of attacks on ICSs. Despite this increased cybersecurity risk, research on ICS security remains insufficient. In this paper, we analyze threats in detail using STRIDE threat analysis modeling and DREAD evaluation for distributed control systems, a type of ICSs, based on our work experience as cybersecurity specialists at a refinery. Furthermore, we verify the validity of threats identified using STRIDE through case studies of major ICS cybersecurity incidents: Stuxnet, BlackEnergy 3, and Triton. Finally, we present countermeasures and strategies to improve risk assessment of identified threats.

오늘날 대부분의 국내 석유화학 산업에서 사용되고 있는 공정제어시스템은 Windows 플랫폼 기반을 사용하고 있다. 개방형 기술에 따른 위험 노출이 증가하고 있지만, 사이버 공격에 대한 인식 부족과 오해로 인해 각종 사이버 공격에 대비하는 기업이 많지 않다. 본 연구는 석유화학 공정제어시스템이 OT 사이버보안 취약성에 얼마나 노출된 상태에서 운영 중인지를 조사하였으며, 보안 취약점을 감소시킬 수 있는 현실적인 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 공정제어시스템의 사이버 위협 상태를 확인하기 위하여, 주요 사이버 위협 인자인 Windows 플랫폼에 대한 취약점을 확인하였으며 이를 위하여 국내 주요 3개 DCS 공급자와 635개 시스템의 Windows 플랫폼 단종 여부를 조사하였다. 조사결과 조사 대상의 77.5%가 아직도 이미 단종된 Windows 플랫폼으로 운영 중인 것으로 확인되어 공정제어 시스템이 보안 위협에 취약한 상태로 운영 중인 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 사이버 위협에 능동적으로 대처하기 위해서는 미국과 같은 선진국에서 시행하고 있는 주요 석유화학 시설에 대한 중요기반시설 지정과 같은 법률적인 규제가 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 기존 DCS 공급자가 제공하는 보안 솔루션을 적극적으로 도입하여 공정제어시스템에 대한 보안 위협을 적극적으로 감소시키려는 노력이 필요한 시점이라고 판단된다.

Networked Control Systems(NCS) contain the structure which controllers, actuators and sensors are connected to communication network. And they have been adopted in large and complicated plant area due to the advantages of mitigating computational bottleneck and maintenance. Although this structure provides many benefits, it brings in problems of unpredictable communication delay, data loss and corruption. This phenomena have to be considered in designing NCSs since it affects on overall control system stability. This paper introduces network traffic test method for ethernet based NCSs to find out maximum network usage which guarantee stable control operation. Test results shows this methods can be adopted in various types of NCSs and contributes economical system design and effective system operation.

Automatic Generation Control(AGC) is a control system whose objectives are to hold system frequency close to a specified nominal value and to maintain each unit's generation at the most economic value. It has been used to control the output of a generator by the control signal of the generator, but it is not appropriate to apply to generators which adopt the distributed control system. In this paper a method for improving the AGC operation is proposed, and the different response of each generator and various types of control systems of generators are considered. The interface among Remote Terminal Detector(RTU) and control systems and the direct delivery of the data between EMS and DCS also are proposed in the paper.

Water Treatment Operation System is applied in most water treatment plants with DCS(Distributed Control System) or PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) system. But it has a lot of problems in viewpoint of cost and expansibilities. Therefore, we rose demand about a system that it was easier, convenient and a few costs. So, It was appeared at a Fieldbus as an alternative about this. It is used in ail industrial fields, but because of the economic reality that we can't removes the existing system, and cannot introduce new technology. Because it is actual to be hard to find an actual implementation reward and way of domestic fieldbus technology, we cannot be acknowledged with reliability in the industrial spot. Therefore, We is going to look into a fieldbus application reward in this paper. That is, We recognize structure and a kind of a fieldbus in a Chapter 2. And we is going to look into difference between a PLC method and fieldbus methods in a Chapter 3. Also, We are going to compare the system that used PLC with the system that used fieldbus (LonWorks). And the objects are JinAn and Wonju where a field bus was applied to.
