The distributed control system is used in wide control fields. Factory automation, home network and building automation are good examples. Lonworks that Echelon company has been developing and providing since 1991 is one of popular distributed control systems. Lonwork system is support various communication media, especially it has a feature that supports communication through the power line. When Constructing Lonworks network in a construction field, the experts, who can treat Lonworks bring laptops that LNS and Lonmaker installed, install the network. However this way takes long time to construct the network and needs the experts. To resolve this problem, this paper suggests that a design of Lonworks network installation machine that is easy to use for everyone and portable. Non-experts can install Lonworks network by using this machine so they can reduce fare for installation of network and time to install.

본 논문에서는 홈 자동화 네트워크으로 가장 각광을 받고있는 론웍스(Lonworks) 시스템을 구성 관리하는 홈 서버 플랫폼의 새로운 구조를 제안한다. Echelon사에서 제안하는 Lonworks 시스템의 구성관리 도구로서의 LonMaker는 자체적으로 개발한 LNS (Lonworks Network Service)라고 하는 비 표준화된 구성 관리 기술을 통해서 네트워크를 관리하도록 지원하며, 상기한 LNS를 인프라로 활용하는 도구로서, LNS는 빌딩 혹은 가정 내에 Lonworks 네트워크로 연결되어 있는 디바이스들에 대한 정보를 DB화하여 구축된 자료를 기반으로 하여 디바이스들간에 연동이 가능하도록 지원한다. 그러나 고가이며, 구성 관리를 한 디바이스 개수당 가격을 별도로 지불해야 하는 로열티가 있고, 이 역시도 하드웨어 제약사양인 뉴런칩(Neuron Chip)을 사용해야 한다는 점에서 개발자로 하여금 많은 부담을 주고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 홈 자동화 네트워크 개발 시에 노드 구조를 각 응용목적에 맞도록 보다 유연성 있게 구현할 수 있도록 하는 네트워크 구성 관리 기능을 갖춘 흠 서버 플랫폼을 제안한다 제안된 흠 서버 플랫폼을 통해 제어 네트워크의 다양화와 고성능 처리의 장점을 얻을 수 있었고, 기존의 고가의 론웍스 LonMaker 소프트웨어를 사용하지 않고도 단지 리눅스 상의 무료 컴파일러인 gcc 컴파일러를 통해 홈 서버 노드를 구성할 수 있으므로 시스템 개발에 대한 비용을 많이 줄일 수 있으며, 리눅스 OS를 사용하는 홈 자동화 홈 서버 시스템으로의 파급효과가 클 것이다.

This paper proposes the new concept & design method and implementation of LonWorks network system for telemetry & remote monitoring and control in BAS. In order to apply this open system, the essential components of Lonworks is analyzed and a new concepts of its design method is proposed. In our experiment, Lonworks network system for telemetry & remote monitoring and control of lighting are designed and fabricated. As a result, it is verified that LonWorks is open, interoperable, reliable network system from the experimental results, especially, node development, network configuration & design, secure communication and MMI.

This paper describes the position control method in yard crane drive system using Lonworks network, which is a leading industrial control network. The network is composed of host computer and three motor drive systems for both gantry and trolley position controls of both gantry and trolley are controlled with the simulator of yard crane, the size of which is about 1/10 with the real yard crane.

In this paper, we propose a programmable method that can connect the control network with the Internet by using an ordinary PC, which is operated by GNU/LINUX. We make a physical connection between an ordinary PC and control network. Then, a PC can be bound with a particular control network. Moreover, numerous PCs that are bound with particular control networks have addresses of there own on the Internet. So, these PCs are connected each other very well. Consequently, all control networks can be observed and controlled with data transfer between these PCs.

본 논문에서는 론웍스(Lonworks)를 사용할 때 이벤트 또는 메시지가 처리되는 과정을 분석하여 각 과정에 따라 발생할 수 있는 중요 점보의 유실 문제, 그리고 그 해결 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 노드를 개발할 때 우선순위를 갖는 태스크(Task)의 개수를 줄여 비우선 순위의 태스크가 원활히 실행되도록 하는 방안을 제시하며, 네트워크를 구성할 때 반복적인 비응답(unacknowledged) 전송 서비스를 사용하는 방법을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 신뢰성을 검증한다. 또한 데이터 기반의 구성 속성 (Configuration Property) 값을 설정하여 변화된 입력 값들이 손실없이 반영되도록 하는 방법을 제시한다.

This paper describes a control network which has a new node structure in the LonWorks networks. The proposed node structure is applicable to flexible and more complex applications which are impossible in the conventional Lonworks node structure. We implemented a node in order to evaluate the proposed control networks and verified the commercial feasibility and compatibility by experimenting the implemented node in the conventional Lonworks control networks.

Recently home network has been developed in the field of Information Technology. And there are many protocols for smart home, such as Lonworks, Echonet, KNX, LnCP etc. However, the performance evaluation has not been nearly known between the protocols. Hence, this paper evaluates the performance of KNX by Konnex Association and LnCP(Living network Control Protocol) by LG Electronics. We developed simulation model using flowchart of KNX and LnCP and simulation scenario through analysis of message to be generated in the home network. Furthermore, we evaluate simulation performance, such as mean transmission delay, maximum transmission delay, and collision rate of both protocols.

Demand for the technology for access to device control network in industry and for access to building automation system via internet is on the increase. In such technology integration of a device control network with a data network such as internet and organizing wide-ranging DCS(distributed control system) is needed, and it can be realized in the framework of VDN(virtual device network). Specifications for device control network and data network are quite different because of the differences in application. So a router that translates the communication protocol between device control network and data network, and efficiently transmits information to destination is needed for implementation of the VDN(virtual device network). This paper proposes the concept of NCS(networked control system) based on VDN(virtual device network) and suggests the routing algorithm that uses embedded system.
