EIA-709.1 Control Network Protocol is the basic protocol of LonWorks systems that is emerg-ing as a fieldbus device. In this paper the protocol is implemented by using VHDL with FPGA and C program on an Intel 8051 processor. The protocol from the physical layer to the network layer of EIA-709.1 is im-plemented in a hardware level,. So it decreases the load of the CPU for implementing the protocol. We verify the commercial feasibility of the hardware through the communication test with Neuron Chip. based on EIA-709.1 protocol which is used in industrial fields. The developed protocol based on FPGA becomes one of IP can be applicable to various industrial field because it is implemented by VHDL.

Use ot Intelligent devices that work on the ANSI/EIA 709.1 protocol is increasing. In this study an ANSI/EIA 709.1 protocol analyzer that can monitor and analyze the packets on LonWorks network is designed and developed. The device is based on TMS320LF2407A processor for decoding data packets, and uses XScale processor for sending data to the application program on PC. The application program has various analysis features as well as basic monitoring function. The developed device can be used for debugging purposes in development of any kind of LonWorks devices, and also it is useful in maintenance of LonWorks network or Lon Works devices.

In this paper, the modem based on EIA-709.2-A PL of powerline communication techniques which are considered to be important technologies for in-home control network systems was implemented via VHDL. In order to have the robust properties against existing noises over powerline channels, the information data using eight symbols was transmitted by transmitter and the receiver is composed of matched filter, averager, decision and detection parts in order to detect the right data from the received signals. The implemented PLC transceiver was downloaded into Altera's EP1S25C672 FPGA and the operation was verified successfully.

This paper proposes a home control system architecture that have network configuration function. The proposed home control system architecture is implemented with partly hardware and software. For implementation of this system architecture, we developed ECONICS which is home automation controller. ECONICS consists of main board and communication modem. This communication modem supply the power line communication. The physical layer and the MAC layer software of EIA 709.1 standard protocol are implemented in communication modem. The upper layer software of EIA 709.1 standard protocol and home configuration software for home network installation, management, diagnostics, control and monitoring are implemented in main board of ECONICS. We verified the commercial feasibility of the proposed system through the home network configuration and operation. As a result, we have concluded that the proposed home control system architecture provides all the key function necessary to easily manage and control home network nodes.

In this paper, we describe the implementation of the configuration platform (LonWare) based on Linux for LonWorks which is one of the popular standard of home control network. LonWare consists of three modules NMML, Lonware API, LonWare DB, and it provides semantically well-defined APls for application device developers to easily access and control. And, LonWare DB is not needed to be located the outside of home, so the security-safe configurator can be made.

본 논문에서는 홈 자동화 네트워크의 대표적으로 자리잡고 있는 론웍스(Lonworks) 시스템의 하드웨어 플랫폼인 뉴론칩(Neuron) 기반의 노드를 대신하는 새로운 구조를 갖는 홈 자동화 제어기를 제안한다. 기존의 론웍스 해답(Solution)은 8비트 프로세서인 뉴론칩을 모든 노드들이 중앙처리장치로 사용하므로 고성능의 처리를 필요로 하는 응용 프로그램은 구현할 수 없었다. 또한 뉴런C(Neuron C) 언어를 사용하여 응용 프로그램을 개발하므로 C 언어에서 파생된 언어인 뉴런C 언어를 새롭게 배워야 하는 번거로운 점을 가지고 있으며, 뉴런C 컴파일러(Compiler)를 비롯한 LonMaker 등의 고가의 개발 장비를 구비해야 하므로 개발자로 하여금 개발비용에 대한 부담이 컸다. 이에 본 논문에서는 처리능력이 뛰어나며 저전력 특성을 갖춘 스트롱암(SA1110)칩을 메인 프로세서로 사용한 홈 자동화 제어기인 ECONICS를 개발했다. 이 ECONICS는 홈 제어 네트워크를 구성하기 위해 통신 하드웨어 및 ANSI 표준 프로토콜인 EIA709.1 통신 프로토콜 스택을 가지고 있다. 제안된 홈 자동화 제어기를 통하여 기존의 론웍스 노드에서 구현하기 힘든 다양하고 복잡한 응용프로그램을 구현할 수 있게 되었고, 제안된 홈 자동화 제어기의 상업적 유용성을 증명하기 위해 기존의 론웍스 노드들과의 호환성을 확인하였으며 개발자로 하여금 기존의 C 언어를 통하여 응용프로그램을 개발하게 함으로써 추후 홈 자동화 제어기로써 파급효과가 클 것이다.

There are many economic and operational reasons to integrate fire alarm signaling system with other building automation system Integration of this requires open network with the standard communication protocol and careful design practices. The important point for this is also the development of intelligent control modules for replacing the conventional zone adapter in fire system. Therefore, this paper proposes an new conceptual design of the open distributed fire alarm signaling system for the integration of BAS and a new intelligent control modules with LonTalk protocol. Newly proposed additions to LonWorks network make it very well suited for integrating fire systems with other building automation systems. Additionally, it is very important that best design practices, test procedures and building codes need to be modernized to accommodate integrated building systems.

A compact ANSI/EIA 709.1 protocol analyzer system suited for maintenance of LonWorks network for safety management of underground facilities was developed and tested. The hardware is based on the TMS320LF2406A embedded system, and the software was designed using Visual C++6.0 under Windows XP environment. Connected to the LonWorks network the developed protocol analyzer decodes the raw packets and pass them to the master PC through USB port. Then on the PC the packets are processed and analyzed in various aspects and the key features that are essential to the maintenance of LonWorks network installed at underground facilities are displayed in a user-friendly format. Performance of the developed protocol analyzer was evaluated through a series of experiments, by measuring the speed of packet analysis and the error rate. The protocol analyzer proved to work reliably even under the increased bandwidth. However, more comprehensive tests under various underground environmental conditions are desired.

In recent years, the case to install small water treatment facility to every local area has increased. A key issue in the successful implementation of the control systems for the water treatment plants is the choice of control architecture. Within the framework of distributed control system(DCS), this paper presents a new development of intelligent control module and its novel application to open control architecture for water treatment plants. This control system so called NCS(Network Based Control System) with standard networks system with LonTalks protocol of ANSI/EIA 709.1, regulatory control function and information dispatch function has suitable functionality to operate these distributed water treatment facility effectively. This paper describes the case where NCS is applied for the filters system in water treatment facility of Heong Sung area.
