Networking for manufacturing is gaining importance as a nerve system of computer-integrated manufacturing(CIM). Among the various network types, the most inexpensive type called fieldbus is specifically aimed to interconnect simple devices such as sensors and actuators. For this purpose, there are several choices of the protocol such as Profibus, FIP, Foundation Fieldbus, and IEC/ISA fieldbus. This paper presents the simulation results of Profibus and FIP. Both protocols has been simulated in order to evaluate the performance such as transmission delay and throughput under different protocol parameter setting and traffic conditions.

기존의 공정자동화 설비에서는 센서를 통하여 계측된 데이터들이 4-20mA의 아날로그 신호를 통하여 제어기와 컴퓨터들로 전송되었다. 이러한 아날로그 신호 전송 방식에서는 제어 시스템의 구조가 복잡해지고 설치에 많은 비용과 노력이 투입될 수밖에 없다. 이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위하여 기술 선진국에서는 필드 장비들 간에 고속의 직렬 통신을 통하여 제어 및 자동화 관련 디지털 데이터의 전송을 실시간으로 지원하는 필드버스 통신망을 개발하였으며, 1990년대 이후 공장 자동화, 공정 제어 및 발전 설비 등 각종 산업 설비에 필드버스를 매우 활발히 도입하고 있다. Foundation Fieldbus 모듈은 공정제어 시스템예서 사용되는 센서, 제어기, PLC, 밸브, 구동기, 스위치 등의 모든 필드 장비에 바로 탑재되어 Foundation Fieldbus의 통신 기능을 제공하는 통신 부품으로 첨단의 공정자동화 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 반드시 확보되어야 할 핵심기술이다. 본 연구를 통해 제작된 Foundation Fieldbus 모듈은 기존의 센서제품을 FF기반의 지능형 센서로 바로 전환할 수 있는 핵심부품이다.

This paper outlines the three main fieldbus type standards: Foundation Fieldbus; WorldFIP; and the Profibus, each of which have great advantages over traditional instrumentation networking technology. The paper shows, using their specification, how they improve traditional control and data acquisition methods. By analysing the main robust, how the can be used to distribute data around the control system, provided increased diagnostic information, are easy to implement, fault confinement, and move simple control operations from the main controller to the local environment. This will help to segment industrial plants into zones which can control themselves. The main control will then be responsibility high-level control. and interzone communications.

본 논문에서는 필드버스를 이용한 지능형 전송기의 FOUNDATION 필드버스 응용계층에 관해 설계하였다. 필드버스 전송기에는 물리계층 데이터링크 계층 응용계층이 있는데 여기서는 응용 계층 중에서 FAS(Fieldbus Access Sublayer)에 대해서만 설명하고자 한다. FAS는 DLL(Data Link Layer) 계층과 응용 계층인 FMS(Fieldbus Message Specification)간에 인터페이스 기능을 수행한다. FMS에서 생성된 메시지가 DLL에서 제공하는 토큰 패싱 또는 스케줄 방식을 통해서 전송되기 위해서는 전송단과 수신단간에 통신관계가 설정되어야 하며, 이러한 기능이 FAS 계층에서 수행된다. FAS에서 통신관계를 설정하기 위한 서비스 종류는 VCR(Virtual Communication Relationship)에 의하여 결정된다. 하드웨어 설계 부분에 대해서는 본 논문에서 설명하지 않았다.

The UCA is a standard-based approach to utility communications which provides for wide scale integration of functional areas including customer interface, distribution, transmission, power plant, control center, and corporate information systems. Field devices in the power facilities require real-time communications, and they must be interconnected into fieldbus. This study introduces a method of implementing gateway that interfaces UCA and fieldbus. In this study, PROFIBUS and FOUNDATION Fieldbus are selected as candidate fieldbus protocols. Protocol interface in the gateway can be accomplished by mapping objects and services of UCA and fieldbus. MOst of the UCAs CASM objects and services are directly mapped into those of the application and user layers of fieldbus. However, some CASM services are not supported in the application and user layers of fieldbus. This study presents the method of implementing those services. In order to show that the implementation of interface is possible, this study presents pseudo-codes of interface program that maps the objects and services of UCA and fieldbus.

The real-time industrial network, often referred to as fieldbus, is an important element for building automated manufacturing systems. Thus, in order to satisfy the real time requirements of field devices such as sensors, actuators, and controllers, numerous standard organizations and vendors have developed various fieldbus protocols. As a result, IEC 61158 protocol including Profibus, WorldFIP, and Foundation Fieldbus is recently announced as an international standard. Many fieldbus protocols have an important advantage over the widely used protocols such as Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) in terms of the deterministic characteristics of the fieldbuses. However, the application of fieldbus has been limited due to the high cost of hardware and the difficulty in interfacing with multi-vendor products. In order to solve these problems, computer network ...

The foundation fieldbus(FF) is one of the fieldbuses most widely used for process control and automation, In order for system designer to optimize medium management, it is imperative to predict transmission delay time of data. In a former research, mathematical modeling to analyze transmission delay of FF token-passing system has been developed based on the assumption that a device node has only one priority data(1Q model), From 1Q model, all of the device nodes, which are connected on the FF system, are defined priority level in advance, and as system operates, data are generated based on given priority level. However, in practice, some non-periodic data can have different priority levels from one device. Therefore, new mathematical model is necessary for the case where different priority levels of data are created under one device node(2Q model). In this research, the mathematical model for 2Q model is developed using the equivalent queue model. Furthermore, the characteristics of transmission delay of 2Q model which is presented in this paper were compared with 1Q model. The validity of the analytical model was verified by using a simulation experiment.

The data link layer (DLL) of Foundation Fieldbus (FF) includes both token-passing and scheduling services. Periodic data are transmitted via the scheduling service, while time-critical and time-available data are transmitted via the token-passing service. This study developed a network interface board that implements the DLL of FF. Using the network interface board, this study experimentally evaluates the delay performance of the DLL of FF. This study measured the delay performance with respect to the change of the DLL parameters of FF, and investigated the relationship between the DLL parameters and network performance. The study also compared the experimental results with the results obtained from an analytical model.

To integration the field device as a control system correctly in fielders systems. We have to offer the DD(Device Description) with the function and internal parameter into the configuration software. The DD which is written in the DDL(Device Description Lansuage) is made as IEC 61804-PART 2 and it is used in Profibus, Foundation Field bus, HART. However, the DD is dependent to the fieldbus and it doesn't have a suitable form in the industrial Ethernet. Therefore, in this paper, we described the internal function and parameter of the Field device as XDD(XML for Device Description) by using XML (extensible Markup Language) which isn't dependent to fieldbus and has a suitable form for industrial ethernet. Futhermore, we present the possibility of XDD's application in the distributed control system by examining the possibility of ethernet's development in the industrial area.
