The real-time industrial network often referred to as fieldbus, is an important element for building automated manufacturing systems. Thus, in order to satisfy the real-time requirements of field devices such as sensors, actuators, and controllers. numerous standard organizations and vendors have developed various fieldbus protocols such as Profibus, WorldFIP and Foundation Fieldbus. However, the application of fieldbus has been limited due to the high cost of hardware and the difficulty in interfacing with multi-vendor products. In order to solve these problems, the computer network technology, especially Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), is being adopted lo the industrial environment. The crucial technical obstacle for Ethernet is that its non-deterministic behavior makes it inadequate for industrial applications where real-time data such as control command and alarm signal hale to be delivered within a certain time limit. Recently, the development of switched Ethernet shows a very promising prospect for industrial application due to the elimination of uncertainties in the network operation resulting in much improved performance. This paper focuses on the application of the switched Ethernet for industrial comm unications.

Recently, the importance of industrial fieldbus has been highlighted since the emergence of Industry 4.0. In particular, the Ethernet-based fieldbus protocol is actively used in automation systems. This paper proposes a safety fence system based on EtherCAT, a type of Ethernet-based fieldbus, to measure external loads. In order to measure the external loads, a force sensor was connected to an EtherCAT slave that transmits the sensor data to an EtherCAT master in real-time. The master ultimately controls the angle of the safety fence when it detects danger based on the given data. In the future, more effiecient safety fence system will be developed by using a HMI system to communicate with the EtherCAT master to manage safety and by employing multiple sensors to increase the accuracy of the fence system.

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.

The real-time industrial network, often referred to as fieldbus, is an important element for building automated manufacturing systems. Thus, in order to satisfy the real time requirements of field devices such as sensors, actuators, and controllers, numerous standard organizations and vendors have developed various fieldbus protocols. As a result, IEC 61158 protocol including Profibus, WorldFIP, and Foundation Fieldbus is recently announced as an international standard. Many fieldbus protocols have an important advantage over the widely used protocols such as Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) in terms of the deterministic characteristics of the fieldbuses. However, the application of fieldbus has been limited due to the high cost of hardware and the difficulty in interfacing with multi-vendor products. In order to solve these problems, computer network ...

Industrial network, often referred to as fieldbus, becomes an indispensable component for intelligent manufacturing systems. Thus, in order to satisfy the real-time requirements of field devices such as sensors, actuators, and controllers, numerous fieldbus protocols have been developed. But, the application of fieldbus has been limited due to the high cost of hardware and the difficulty in interfacing with multi-vendor products. As an alternative to fieldbus, the Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) technology is being adapted to the industrial environment. However, the crucial technical obstacle of Ethernet is its non-deterministic behavior that cannot satisfy the real-time requirements. Recently, the EtherCAT protocol becomes a very promising alternative for real-time industrial application due to the elimination of uncertainties in Ethernet. This paper focuses on the implementation of the IEC 61800 based real-time EtherCAT network for multi-axis smart driver. To demonstrate the feasibility of the implemented EtherCAT slave module, its synchronization performance is evaluated on the experimental EtherCAT testbed with a single axis smart driver.

Fieldbus technology is having a massive impact on the development of faster, smarter and less expensive industrial networking systems. However, there have been a few of practically applied cases and channels for obtaining technical advices. Moreover, the users in the industry don't trust the Fieldbus technology like they didn't trust PLC control system in 1970s. Therefore, in this paper, Air flow control system is constructed by Fieldbus technologies, Profibus and Inverter that controls the motor speed. With the features of the motor control, the amount of electric power consumption by the speed control of motor is measured by the constructed control system. From this measured result, the effectiveness of the airflow control system and Feasibility to the practical industry field is demonstrated To improve the confidence of Fieldbus technology, practically embodied cases and technical methods are presented.

In high reliability systems for industrial network such as railway signal system, fieldbus protocols have been known to satisfy the real-time and fault tolerant requirements. But, the application of fieldbus has been limited due to the high cost of hardware and software, and the difficulty in interfacing with multi-vendor products. Therefore, as an alternative to fieldbus, the computer network technology, especially Ethernet(IEEE 802.3), is being adapted to the industrial network. In this paper, we propose a switched Ethernet based railway signal system because of its very promising prospect for industrial application due to the elimination of uncertainties in the network operation. In addition, we propose the redundancy architecture for the reliability of network components. More specifically, this paper presents an analytical performance evaluation of switched Ethernet for railway signal system, and shows experimental evaluation of redundancy architecture.

필드버스 시스템에서 필드기기를 제어전략에 맞게 제어시스템으로 통합하기 위해서는 기능 및 내부 파라미터가 기술되어 있는 DD(Device Description)를 구성 소프트웨어에 제공하여야 한다. 현재 DD는 DDL (Device Description Language)로 작성되며, IEC 61804-PART 2로 제정되어, 필드버스인 Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, HART 시스템에서 사용하고 있다. 그러나 DD 기술은 필드버스에 종속적이며, 최근 많은 발전을 보이고 있는 산업용 이더넷 환경에 적합한 형식을 갖추고 있지 않다 따라서 본 논문에서는 필드버스에 종속적이지 않고, 산업용 이더넷 환경에 적합한 형식을 갖춘 XML(extensible Markup Language)를 이용하여 필드기기의 내부 기능 및 파라미터를 XDD(XML for Device Description)로 표현하고자 한다 또한 앞으로 산업현장에서 이더넷의 발전 가능성을 살펴봄으로써, 분산제어시스템에서 XDD의 적용 관한 향후 연구과제를 제시한다.
