A small size and light-weight DSP board is newly designed for a real time multi-distributed control system that overcomes constraints on time and space. There are a variety of protocols for a real-time distributed control system. In this research, we selected CAN for the multi distributed control, which was developed by the BOSCH in the early 1980's. If CAN and Internet are connected together, the system attains the characteristics of a distributed control system and a remote control system simultaneously. To build such a system. The TCP/IP-CAN Gateway which converts a CAN protocol to TCP/IP protocol and vice verse, was designed. Moreover, the system is required to be small and light-weighted for the high mobility and cost effectiveness. The equipment in remote place has a TCP/IP-CAN Gateway on itself to be able to communicate with another systems. The received commands in the remote site are converted from TCP/IP protocol to CAN protocol by the TCP/IP-CAN Gateway in real time. A simulation system consists of a TCP/IP-CAN Gateway in remote place and a command PC to be connected to Ethernet.

As many sensors and actuators are used in various automated systems, the application of network to real-time distributed control system is gaining acceptance in many industries. In order to take advantages of networking, however, the network should be carefully designed to satisfy real-time distributed control. This paper presents an implementation method of closed-loop control using Profibus-FMS. In order to implement a closed-loop control system, we used industrial computers with Profibus-FMS network cards and a DC servo motor. Through various experiments, the step response of the control system with network was compared with the reference response without network.

The process of guaranteeing that a distributed real-time control system will meet its timing constraints, is referred to as schedulability analysis. However, schedulability analysis algorithm cannot be simply used to analyze the system because of complex calculations of algorithm. It is difficult for control engineer to understand the algorithm because it was developed in a software engineer's position. In this paper we introduce a Response-time Analysis Tool(RAT) which provides easy way far system designer to analyze the system by encapsulating calculation complexity. Based on the RAT, control engineer can verify whether all real-time tasks and messages in a system will be completed by their deadline in the system design phase.

Optimal operation of a combined sewer network with distributed storage facilities aims to use the whole retention capacity of all reservoirs efficiently before overflows take place somewhere in the considered network system. An efficient real-time network control (RTNC) strategy has been emerging as an attractive approach for reducing substantially the overflows from a sewer network compared to the conventional fixed or manually adjusted gate setting method, but the related concrete framework for RTC development has not been throughly introduced so far. The main goal of this study is to give a detailed description of the RTNC systems via reviewing several guidelines published abroad, and finally to suggest methods for the proper application of RTNC on distributed storage facilities. Especially, this study is focused on emphasizing the importance of hierarchical structure of RTNC system that consists of three control layers (management, global control and local control). Further, with regard to the global control layer which is responsible for the central overall network control, the wide-ranging details of two components (adaption and optimization layers) are also presented. This study can provide the valuable basis for the RTNC implementation in the particular sewer network with distributed multiple storage facilities.

We discussed the Distributed Control System's design on preface and analyzed time of the real-time communication by using designed system. The DCS proposed in this thesis was implemented to network file system having recovery advantage and shared memory method to access file system of a Remote Station with ease. Also, this system minimized the network delay-time by using the real-time VME147 board. In implemented DCS, the performance analysis of real-time process of a Remote Station was done to get the total time for reak-tune communication from a Remote Station to the Central Station after terminating of process. For the analysis of system performance, we experiented by three steps. Firstly, we measuredthe processing the of LOOP function that real-time CPU convertes to-2,500~10.000 values from the input data of the Analog Interface Card. Secondly, we measured the processing time of the LOGIC function and the LOOP function. Lastly, we measured total processing time for communication from a Remote Station to the Centrol Station.

As many sensors and actuators are used in various automated systems, the application of network system to real-time distributed control is gaining acceptance in many industries. In order to take advantages of the network technique. however, network implementation should be carefully designed to satisfy real-time constraints and to consider network delays. This paper presents the implementation of feedback control system in Profibus-DP. Profibus-DP is a type of fieldbus protocols that are specifically designed to interconnect simple devices with fast I/O data exchange. As feedback control in profibus-DP is implemented, Network delays is found with influence of system performance. We analyze network delays in Profibus-DP into 3 reasons - dead time in Profibus interface, protocol delay, delay by asynchronization. In order to compensate the network delays, we introduce control algorithms with time delay concept. The results show that network delay can be compensated.

As numerous sensors and actuators are used in many automated systems, various industrial networks are adopted for real-time distributed control. In order to take advantages of the networking, however, the network implementation should be carefully designed to satisfy real-time requirements considering network induced delays. This paper presents an implementation scheme of a networked control system via Profibus-DP network fur real-time distributed control. More specifically, the effect of the network induced delay on the control performance is evaluated on a Profibus-DP testbed. Also, two conventional PID gain tuning methods are slightly modified fur fouling controllers fur the networked control system. With appropriate choices for gains, it is shown that the networked control system can perform almost as well as the traditional control system.

Real-time control communication network system is important for developing defense robots because it affects environmental interaction, performance, and safety. We propose a real-time control communication network using the Xenomai real-time operating system and the open-source EtherCAT master library, SOEM. EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based industrial communication method. It has low latency and many functions such as cable redundancy and distributed clock synchronization. We use Xenomai RTOS and Intel NUC to develop the system. Experimental tests demonstrate the Real-time EtherCAT master implementation, and communication with CiA301-based slave devices. The jitter measurement was conducted to validate the real-time performance of the system. The proposed system shows possibility for real-time robotics applications in various defense robots.
