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.

본 논문에서는 휴대용 전자기기에 널리 사용되고 있는 리튬-이온 충전용 전원 모듈에서 발열을 줄이면서 배터리의 충전 시간을 단축하기 위한 기법을 연구하였다. 제안하는 기법은 마스터 충전 모듈과 슬레이브 충전 모듈로 구성된 다중 충전 모듈을 이용하여 병렬적인 전류 경로를 구성하면서 단일 선로 통신 방식을 적용함으로써 추가적인 하드웨어를 최소화하여 충전 회로를 매우 간단하게 구성할 수 있도록 하였다. 마스터 충전 모듈과 슬레이브 충전 모듈 간의 단일 선로 통신 방식은 필요 부품의 핀 개수를 최소화하고 디지털 통신 방식을 사용하지 않고 전압 레벨을 이용한 통신 방식을 적용하였기 때문에 구현 면적이 줄어들고 비용적인 측면에서도 유리한 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안한 충전 기법은 고속의 충전을 필요로 하는 충전식 전원 모듈의 구현에 실용적으로 적용 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Devices in current market to perform electrical stimulation therapy of the urinary incontinence frequent in aging women are very much impractical to us ε due to the wired configuration. The present study implemented new wireless device to enhance self as well as in-hospital therapy with the easiest and the most convenient application. The therapy system consisted of two modules, called 'master' and 'slave', communicating with each other by the wireless Bluetooth protocol. The patient controls therapy processes on the master module in hand, transmitting the required informations to operate the slave module placed within her pants with the viginal electrode connected, delivering appropriate electrical stimulation. Wireless communication enabled self therapy with clothes on, leading to a great convenience for the patient. The stimulation output signal was comparable to commercialized products in both waveform and stimulation capacity.

This paper proposes a dual lifting and its cooperative control system with two different kinds of floating cranes. The Mega-erection and Giga-erection in the ship building are used to handle heavier and wider blocks and modules as ships and off-shore platforms are enlarged. However, there is no equipment to handle such Tera-blocks. In order to overcome the limit on performance of existing floating cranes, the dual lifting is proposed in this research. In the dual lifting, two floating cranes are well-coordinated to add up the lift capabilities of both cranes without any loss such that virtually a single crane is lifting, maneuvering and unloading. Two main constraints for the dual lifting are as follows: First, two barges of floating cranes should be constrained as a rigid body not to cause a relative motion between two barges and main hooks of the two cranes should be controlled as main hooks of a single crane. In order words, it is necessary to develop the cooperative control of two floating cranes in order to sustain a center of gravity of the module and minimize the tilting angle during the lifting and unloading by the two floating cranes. Two floating cranes are handled as a master-slave system. The master crane is able to gather information about all working conditions and make a decision to control the individual hook speed, which communicates the slave crane by TCP/IP. The developed control system has been embedded in the real floating crane systems and the dual lifting has been demonstrated five times at SHI shipyard in 2015. The moving angles of the lifting module are analyzed and verified to be suitable for hoisting control. It is verified that the dual lifting can be applied for many heavier and wider blocks and modules to shorten the construction time of ships and off-shore platforms.

PLC(programmable logic controller) system is widely used for the control of factory. PLC system receives ladder diagram which is drawn by the user to implement hardware logic, converts the ladder diagram into sequence program which is executable in the PLC system, and executes the sequence program indefinitely unless user breaks. The sequence program processes the data of on/off signal, and endures 1 scan delay and missing of pulse-type signal shorter than a scan time. So, data dependency doesn't exist. By applying theis characteristics to multiprocessor architecture, we design parellel PLC functionally and evaluate performance upgrade. Parallel PLC consists of central processing module, N general processing unit, and a shared memory by master-slave type. Each module executes allocated sequence program by the control of central processing module. We can expect performance upgrade by parallel processing, and reliability by relocation of sequence program when error occurs in processing module.

In this paper PLC Power Circuit with Hot-Swap Function is proposed for stable power supplies. The power modules of the proposed devices are implemented by CRM flyback converter using new synchronous rectifier circuit for high efficiency. By a variable switching frequency controller, this converter is operated with a reduced turn-on switching loss. Also, the load current in these power modules are shared by auto master / slave method using Outer loop. The proposed devices are analyzed in detail and optimized for high performance. Experimental results for a 100W power module at the variable switching frequency of 30$^{\sim}$70kHz were obtained to show the performance of the proposed device.

After many years of proliferation, the nuclear industry is indebted for a formidable consequence, the safe management of spent fuel. Naturally, the high radioactivity involved with such process motivates the development of effective telerobotic systems. Nevertheless, the existing master-slave type of tele manipulators are limited in effectiveness by the human operator's limited sensory and manipulation capabilities. This paper presents the result of a research effort to resolve such problems by assigning the slave manipulator a certain degree of intelligence; sensing and actuation. In the presented system, a perception-action loop is achieved using ultrasonic range sensor and laser distance sensor interfaced with the PUMA 760 industrial robot system, and applied to automating impact wrenching task for unbolting the lid of nuclear spent fuel cask. The perception-action loop performs determination of the cask location, collision avoidance and centering of the impact wrench onto the bolt head. To aid the insertion task and to provide versatility a mounting module consisting of an RCC device and an automatic tool changer is designed and implemented. The performance of the developed system is tested on the model cask and the result is given.

Bluetooth technology of cable replacement and infrastructure access is verified enough to be commercialized as goods. But there are a lot of works to implement ad-hoc Bluetooth radio network. for this, scatternet must be formed. We propose routing layer, packet format and link formation schemes for scatternet. The page procedure of the route request and the route reply page eliminates the procedure of the inquiry and the master-slave role switching. The route discovery time could be lower than 50msec within the distance of 50m. Proposed link formation scheme lets master, slave and bridge establish connection automatically and offers active ad-hoc environment. Devices that adopt Bluetooth module of 10m transmission range can communicate with other devices far away without any intervention of users.

최근 개발되고 있는 의료기기들은 사용자의 상호 복합적인 요구사항을 반영하기 위하여 모듈(Module)화되는 추세이다. 이는 환자의 상태를 관찰, 진단, 처리를 위해 여러 기기들로부터 데이터를 수집하고, 이에 따르는 동작을 제어하기에 가장 효율적인 방법이기 때문이다. 이와 같은 모듈화 경향은 여러 개의 단일 시스템들을 쉽게 통합 관리할 수 있기 때문에 더욱 일반화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모듈화된 의료장비들을 하나의 통신 시스템으로 묶어 중앙 집중형 제어를 할 수 있는 통신 프로토콜을 구현하였다. 본 연구에서 구현된 시스템은 모든 기기들을 제어하고 통신을 관장하는 하나의 마스터(Master) 모듈과 각각의 의료기기들에 해당되는 여러 개의 슬레이브(Slave)모듈로 구성된다. 각 모듈간 통신은 데이터의 정확한 송, 수신을 위해 여러 동기 직렬 통신방식 중 SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface)를 사용하였다. 모든 통신은 패킷(Packet)형태로 이루어지고, 통신중 에러를 검출할 수도 있다. 또한, 마스터 모듈은 자동으로 특정 슬레이브 모듈외 연결 및 동작 유무를 알 수 있는 PNP(Plug And Play)기능이 있다. 본 연구에서 구현된 프로토콜온 컴퓨터와 연결하여 데이터 전송 확인을 통해, 1Mbps이상의 빠른 속도에서 정화한 송, 수신이 이루어지며, 인공호흡기와 같은 실시간 데이터의 송, 수신이 이루어져야하는 의료장비에서도 모듈이 수행하는 본래의 일에 방해하지 않고 실시간 통신이 이루어지는 것을 실제 호흡기 시스템에 적용하여 확인하였다. 또한, 중앙 집중형 제어에 의한 다양한 기능을 편리하게 구현할 수 있었다.이다.ure scheme based on KCDSA which is a domestic digital signature scheme and it apply a electronic cash system.
