In this paper, we developed a multi-protocol controller based on SoC and embedded Linux and applied it to integrate with BAS in a unified TCP/IP socket communication. The multi-protocol controller integrates control networks of RS-485 and LonWorks devices to BAS. The system consists of three-tier architecture, such as a BAS, a multi-protocol converter, and control devices. By using UML, we modeled the system architecture. In order to show the feasibility of system architecture, it was applied to a small BAS system. The experimental results show that the multi-protocol controller using embedded Linux is flexible and effective way to develop a building control system.

This paper designs and develops auto-tuning temperature controller with multi-channel, which controller with multi-channel could control a number of control system simultaneously. This controller has multi-channel input and output. And a number of control algorithms run in this controller simultaneously and independently. Firstly we present design method of controller with multi-channel. Secondly we design electrical circuit of sensor input, controller output and power control for temperature control board. And finally we design data protocol for serial communication to monitor control state and present verification of temperature controller with muiti-channel through field experiment.

Due to the development of drones, drone missions are performed in various fields, and BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line Of Sight) flight is performed in a wide area. Most drones operate through radio frequency (RF) communication and can only fly in a limited radius of about 1-2 km. To overcome this, in this paper, we propose a multi-communication protocol-based drone control system to control drones performing missions in BVLOS using RF and LTE (Long Term Evolution). The proposed system consists of a control unit and a drone unit. The control unit transmits one control signal generated from the remote controller through RF and LTE. The drone unit classifies the control signal transmitted through RF and LTE according to the priority of the communication protocol and delivers it to the FC (Flight Controller). Through the proposed control system, it is possible to overcome the RF communication distance limit and prevent the communication disconnection situation.

The VDS(Vehicle Detection System) collects and transfers information about traffic situations in real time, therefore it makes the traffic management effective. Recently, the VDSs have provided good stability and accuracy in regard to system reliability and functions but they also have showed problems such as raising costs and consuming times when a new system is installed and/or the environmental requirements for the system are set up. The reason of the problems is that up to now the collection of the data and information about the traffic situations has been achieved by the 1:1 information exchange between the traffic control surveillance center and the each traffic field, between equipments and centers, and among data processing equipments and also centers. The communication systems used in the VDS are generally composed of 1 : 1 connection of the lines because the communication protocols are different in the most of the cases mentioned above. Consequently, this makes the number of communication lines become larger and causes the cost for the whole traffic information systems to increase. In this paper, a development of a controller to unify the communication protocols for the VDS is peformed to solve the problems which were mentioned above. Specially, the controller developed in this paper was applied to a radar vehicle detector and tested to show its usefulness. In addition to that, the developed controller was also designed to include functions to transfer the information about weather conditions on the roads.

In this paper, we propose the design method of distributed control system using Controller Area Network (CAN). CAN is an advanced serial communication protocol for distributed real-time control systems. It is a contention-based multi-master network whose timeliness properties come from its collision resolution algorithm which gives a high schedulable utilization and guaranteed bus access latency. With proposed method using CAN, we apply to robot controller. The effectiveness of proposed method is demonstrated by the simulation and experiment.

In this paper, a technique to expand the Input and Output (I/O) of the programmable logic controller (PLC) using remote I/O module is presented. The controller and the remote I/O module should have the same protocol and are interfaced through RS 485. Each remote I/O module consists of 16 digital input and 16 digital output, and the maximum of 32 remote I/O module can be linked to one controller. The remote I/O is programmed for interrupt request to controller independently. Therefore, there is no affect to the scan time of the controller. Using this technique, the PLC can be efficiently applied to the several hundred meters different control points such as the ON-OFF control fur the agriculture farm, the building automation system, a multi group of machine control.

In this paper, CAN(Controller Area Network)is used to solve the wire harness problem in the outside mirror of automobile which has a lot of functions in narrow space. If the number of wires is reduced, it has benefits of lower product cost and maintenance. CAN was originally developed by the German company Robert Bosch for use in the car industry to provide a cost-effective communications bus for in car electronics and as alternative to expensive and cumbersome wiring looms. CAN controller is a serial communication protocol which efficiently supports distributed real-time control with a very high level of security. The communication between master CAN controller and slave CAN controller is realized and controller's performance is tested by experiment.

In case of environment requiring safety such as human body and requiring flexible shape, a conventional mechanical actuator system does not satisfy requirements. Therefore, in order to solve these problems. a research of various smart material such as EAP (Electro Active Polymer), EAC (Electro Active Ceramic) and SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) is in progress. Recently, the highest preferring material among various smart material is EP (Electrostictive Polymer), because it has very fast response time, powerful force and large displacement. The previous researches have been studied properties of polymer and simple control, but present researches are studied a polymer actuator. An EP (Electostrictive Polymer) actuator has properties which change variably ils shape and environmental condition. Therefore, in order to coincide with a user's purpose, it is important not only to decide a shape of actuator and mechanical design but also to investigate a efficient controller. In this paper, we constructed the control logic with an adaptive fuzzy algorithm which depends on the physical properties of EP that has a dielectric constant depending on time. It caused for a sub-actuator to operate at the same time that a sub-actuator system operation increase with a functional improvement and control efficiency improvement in each actuator, hence it becomes very important to manage it effectively and to control the sub-system which Is operated effectively. There is a limitation on the management of Main-host system which has multiple sub-system, hence it brings out the Multi-Vehicle Control process that disperse the task efficiently. Controlling the multi-dispersion system efficiently, it needs the research of Main-host system's scheduling, data interchange between sub-actuators, data interchange between Main-host system and sub-actuator system, and data communication process. Therefore in this papers, we compared the fuzzy controller with the adaptive fuzzy controller. also, we applied the scheduling method for efficient multi-control in EP Actuator and the algorithm with interchanging data, protocol design.

This paper briefly reviews ITU-T recommendations associated with multi protocol label switch (MPLS) and Ethernet operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM). The broadband convergence network (BcN) architecture with a centralized network controller is introduced. An aggregation structure employing Ethernet, MPLS, and time division multiplexing (TDM) signal is presented for the BcN. A physical link failure scenario is examined to investigate how the maintenance signal is propagated between different layers.
