초록

최근 Industry 4.0으로 인해 제조업에 대한 생산성 향상과 고객만족을 위한 스마트팩토리 관심이 매우 높고 정부 지원에 따른 구축도 활발하다. 특히, 효율적인 생산 시스템을 구축하기 위한 데이터 통합과 이를 위한 필드버스 통신기술은 필수적이다. 필드버스는 특정 밴더 시스템에 구속받지 않는 개방형 제어시스템으로서 타사 제품과의 호환성, 데이터 전송의 정확성, 원격진단 등의 다양한 이점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, 필드버스를 학습하기 위한 교육 장비와 실습을 위한 교육과정 및 예제가 전무하여 산업현장에서 스마트팩토리 구축을 위해 필요로 하는 실무 능력 향상에 많은 제한점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 산업현장에 적합한 PLC와 통신기술을 선정한 선행연구 결과를 바탕으로 실무적인 필드버스 교육을 위한 PLC기반의 필드버스 교육 장비와 교육과정을 개발하고 Ethernet IP, Profibus DP, Modbus, CC-Link, Device Net의 다양한 필드버스를 구현하였다. 또한, Ethernet IP를 통한 데이터 수집과 모니터링으로 분산된 필드기기의 제어와 원격진단이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Recently, due to Industry 4.0, there is a great interest in smart factory for productivity improvement and customer satisfaction in manufacturing industry, and construction is also actively pursued by government support. In particular, data integration and fieldbus communication technology to build an efficient production system are essential. Fieldbus is an open control system that is not tied to a specific vendor system and has various advantages such as compatibility with other products, accuracy of data transmission, and remote diagnosis. However, there are no educational equipment for training field buses, training courses and examples for practical training, and there are many limitations in improving the practical skills needed for building smart factories in the industrial field. Therefore, this study develops PLC based fieldbus education equipment and training course based on previous research results that selected PLC and communication technology suitable for domestic industry field for practical fieldbus training and develops the training program of Ethernet IP, Profibus DP, Modbus, CC-Link, and DeviceNet. In addition, it is confirmed that the control and remote diagnosis of distributed field devices are possible by data collection and monitoring.
