Abstract

Recently, with the adoption of modern computing and communication technologies, manufacturing systems have become more autonomous and intelligent. Thus, as the number of field devices with smart sensors also increase, the need for an integrated management of such devices becomes essential. This paper proposes a smart encoder architecture that integrates the position sensing function with CANopen connectivity. In addition, an integrated system is proposed to simultaneously control and monitor multiple encoders over the Controller Area Network (CAN) fieldbus network. We evaluated the performance and functionalities of the proposed system by comparative experiments with commercial CANopen smart encoders using a CANopen conformance test.

최근 컴퓨터 및 통신기술의 적극적인 결합에 따른 생산 시스템의 자동화 및 지능화가 급속하게 진행됨에 따라, 자동화 시스템의 핵심 요소 중 하나인 스마트 센서를 내장한 필드 장치들의 수도 급격하게 증가하고 있으며 이들을 통합 관리할 필요성도 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 엔코더의 위치 데이터 센싱 기능과 CANopen 프로토콜을 결합한 스마트 엔코더 구조를 제안하고, 복수 개의 엔코더를 CAN 네트워크를 통해 동시에 관리, 모니터링할 수 있는 시스템 구조를 설계, 구현하였다. 구현한 시스템의 성능과 기능적 동작은 상용 엔코더와의 비교 실험과 CANopen 호환성 테스트를 이용하여 검증하였다.
