Industrial control system (ICS) is a computer based system which are typically used in nation-wide critical infra-structure facilities such as electrical, gas, water, wastewater, oil and transportation. In addition, ICS is essentially used in industrial application domain to effectively monitor and control the remotely scattered systems. The highly developed information technology (IT) and related network techniques are continually adapted into domains of industrial control system. However, industrial control system is confronted significant side-effects, which ICS is exposed to prevalent cyber threats typically found in IT environments. Therefore, cyber security vulnerabilities and possibilities of cyber incidents are dramatically increased in industrial control system. The vulnerabilities that may be found in typical ICS are grouped into Policy and Procedure, Platform, and Network categories to assist in determining optimal mitigation strategies. The order of these vulnerabilities does not necessarily reflect any priority in terms of likelihood of occurrence or severity of impact. Firstly, corporate security policy can reduce vulnerabilities by mandating conduct such as password usage and maintenance or requirements for connecting modems to ICS. Secondly, platfom vulnerabilities can be mitigated through various security controls, such as OS and application patching, physical access control, and security software. Thirdly, network vulnerabilities can be eliminated or mitigated through various security controls, such as defense-in-depth network design, encrypting network communication, restricting network traffic flows, and providing physical access control for network components.

In an environment where manufacturing conditions such as product lines keep changing, manufacturing control systems need to be continually maintained and upgraded according to the change. This requires an effective system implementation methodology. In this paper, a methodology based on the multi-criteria similarity comparison of manufacturing processes is proposed. A newly introduced process is compared with existing ones based on the multi-criteria similarity, and candidates for software reuse are selected from stored modules according to the overall process characteristics. The proposed methodology has been tested for an electronics manufacturing company's manufacturing control system, and the result has been satisfactory in that it can save time and efforts for system implementation.

Recently, a Elevator system is specially important in human life. Also a elevator door is important to a elevator system. In this paper, induction motor drive system using vector control was developed with high performance for elevator door system. For this, velocity pattern generation method was proposed. The proposed system is verified by experimental result with 400[w] induction motor drive system for the elevator door.

As the interest of flexible manufacturing systems and computer integrated manufacturing systems increase, the distribution of centralized control systems using industrial control networks is getting more attention. In this paper, we investigate the rate-based traffic control of industrial control networks to improve the performance regarding the throughput, fairness, and error rates. Especially, we consider the protocol of Lon-$Works^{(TM)}$ which consists of all OSI 7-layers and supports various communication media at a low cost. Basically, the proposed rate-based traffic control system is closed loop by utilizing the feedback channel errors, which shows improved performance when compared with other industrial control networks commonly operated in open loop. To this end, an additional network node called monitoring node is introduced to check the channel status without increasing the channel load. The Proposed control loop is in effect whenever the feedback channel error becomes greater than an admittable value. We demonstrate the improved performance of the controlled network system in view of throughput and fairness measures by implementing the lab-scale network system based on LonWorks and through the experimentation upon it.

The control chart has been used widely and importantly as a tool for statistical process control(SPC). Most companies are concerned with improving the quality and the productivity as well as reducing the cost, especially in today's highly competitive environment. Though SPC is known as a technique for consistent quality, it is not used properly due to lack of knowledge about it. It is required to develop a support system for control chart selection and interpretation that can be utilized by non-specialist without hard training or experiences. The support system was developed by applying the expert system tool to popular control charts. Though some researches on this area has been performed, the implemented results expose many problems in field applications due to the unsatisfactory explanation of the selected control chart and limited knowledge base for resolving the problems. This thesis presented an expert system for control chart as solution for these problems. The expert system for the control chart selection and interpretation is developed by using Turbo C and EXSYS which is an expert system development tool.

The world-wide ship construction market is forecast that the considerable portion of shipbuilding and oceanic plant industry will be transferred consequently in China after 5 or 10 years. This point of view where the Korean ship construction industry seizes the initiative from the world-wide ship construction/oceanic field, we must cultivate technical power of base technology, and focus our interests on the development of core parts. In this study, our proprietary remotely operated valve actuator system with power line technology was developed to enhance the installation and commissioning process by our own technology. This paper describes the new design and functions of the remotely operated valve system for shipbuilding and offshore market especially for FPSO.

For pneumatic valve system control, we need a serial data transmission system with high speed and reliability for information interchange between main computer and I/O devices. This paper presents a set of design techniques for a data communication system that is mainly used for pneumatic valve system control. For this purpose, we first designed hardware modules for an interface between central control module and local node that handles the operation of solenoid control valves. in addition, we developed a communication protocol for construction of rs-485 based multi-drop network and this protocol is basically designed with a kind of polling technique. Finally we evaluated performance of the developed system. the field test results show that, even under high noise environment, the data transmission of 375kbps rate is possible up to 1,500meter without using repeater. In addition, the system developed in this research is easily to be extended for a communication network because of its modular structure.

As numerous sensors and actuators are used in many automated systems, various industrial networks are adopted for real-time distributed control. In order to take advantages of the networking, however, the network implementation should be carefully designed to satisfy real-time requirements considering network induced delays. This paper presents an implementation scheme of a networked control system via Profibus-DP network fur real-time distributed control. More specifically, the effect of the network induced delay on the control performance is evaluated on a Profibus-DP testbed. Also, two conventional PID gain tuning methods are slightly modified fur fouling controllers fur the networked control system. With appropriate choices for gains, it is shown that the networked control system can perform almost as well as the traditional control system.
