EIA-709.1 Control Network Protocol is the basic protocol of LonWorks systems that is emerg-ing as a fieldbus device. In this paper the protocol is implemented by using VHDL with FPGA and C program on an Intel 8051 processor. The protocol from the physical layer to the network layer of EIA-709.1 is im-plemented in a hardware level,. So it decreases the load of the CPU for implementing the protocol. We verify the commercial feasibility of the hardware through the communication test with Neuron Chip. based on EIA-709.1 protocol which is used in industrial fields. The developed protocol based on FPGA becomes one of IP can be applicable to various industrial field because it is implemented by VHDL.

The train configuration is based on one unit like basic 4 cars to multiple unit operation. Each unit has unique node such as train formation number. Some equipments(TC, CC) of TCMS are connected to the master TC through the LonWorks network. When the train is consist of multiple unit, TCMS has to implement quick network for data communication overall train. But a variable time delay is generated when it is performed communication with point to point type using train formation number. In this paper we propose new method to know the node information of adjacent unit. that is to add digital input signals notifying cab direction at any cabin. Also, we provide the optimized screen design that all collected information via network is displayed by each unit.

In this paper, a Web-based management system for the building network is described. A multi-protocol converter based on SoC and embedded Linux is designed. The open source licensing, reliability, and broad hardware support are key reasons for use of embedded Linux in embedded industry. The multi-protocol converter integrates control network of RS-485 and LonWorks devices through TCP/IP protocol for a client with Java applet. The system consists of three-tier architecture, such as a client, a server that is performed on a multi-protocol converter, and control devices. The developed system includes the inverter motor control system with modbus protocol for the RS-485 network. The experiment results show that the multi-protocol converter using embedded Linux is a flexible and effective way to builda Web -based monitoring and control system.

The need to protect a main information and control a personal access using Biometrics in the intelligent building system is extended with growing the information and communication technologies in recent years. The fingerprint recognition technology is one of the biometrics methods available that has been widely used in various applications. But the present architecture of fingerprint recognition system has many of the problems because of centralized control network architecture. But we can solve the problems with distributed control network architecture. In this paper, the fingerprint recognition system uses the merit of the LonWorks. it is able to easily modularize the system and make up for the weak points in the typical fingerprint recognition system.

System Integration is significant role in building, because it is that the more building system is integrated, the more they can save management costs and energy costs. Nowadays system protocols in building use BACnet, LonWorks, etc. to integrate effectively, but their interoperability is not perfect. Therefore, we propose system integration using Ethernet and TCP/IP for perfect harmony. When data network protocol, Ethernet and TCP/IP is used for control network, there are several problems. But there have been solved by many researches. therefore it is possible that building system integrate to use Ethernet and TCP/IP. Finally, we show that Ethernet and TCP/IP can be used for building automation system integration.

With increasing number of citizen using subway stations everyday, safety, health and comfort of passengers and occupants became an important social issue. Considering the fact that various physical variables and pollutants are related to indoor air quality (IAQ) which may cause health problem, IAQ need to be closely monitored and controlled in multiple locations in subway stations. This study is a continuation of the previous studies and delay induced in wireless-wired network is experimentally evaluated and the risk involved is assessed. In doing that, a key parameter is identified to be the network delay in different network media. Application of information-theoretic measure to assess the risk in network delay is then discussed. The idea is based on the general principles of engineering design and their applications to quantification of uncertainty in network delay. Experimental results show that more risk is involved in wireless data communication. Efficient and fast conversion of transmission data in both LonWorks/IP server and ZL converter is also noted.

Although there exist many middlewares such as Havi, Jini, LonWorks, UPnP, and SLP, new middlewares specialized for diverse information appliances are expected to appear continuously as home networks evolve. In this paper, we examine an integrated architecture for supporting interoperability among heterogeneous middlewares under home network, we also propose and implement a scenario-based user-oriented integrated architecture for efficient home automation which is different from existing methods. HOMI(Homenetwork Middleware for Interoperability) architecture proposed in this paper provides interfaces that assist users with designing and modifying desirable scenarios using a script interpreter language HOMIL(HOMI Language). Different from an existing integrated middleware architecture, HOMI improves efficiency and convenience of interoperation between heterogeneous appliances for home automation allowing users to design and organize scenarios through these interfaces. HOMI classifies interoperation services into time contort, synchronization context, and asynchronization context and helps to execute next services considering contexts when a specific event occurs. Applying modified scenarios immediately to home network environment, HOMI provides users with seamless services without installing new applications, updating the server, or rebooting in order to adopt new scenarios. Lastly, distribution agents into several devices, we solved the overhead problem occurred in a centralized architecture for integrated middleware.

Traditional control systems that consist of sensors, actuators and a controller centralized and connected with point-to-point links, have become distributed because of their performance limits and maintenance problems. Sensors and actuators are changed to smart devices having a processor and these devices and controllers are connected with fieldbuses such as Profibus, FIP, CAN, LonWorks and so on. Because they are distributed, it takes any delay to transmit data from sensor to controller and data from controller to actuator according to network characteristic. Also, the execution times of tasks in a node are not regular and depend on the node characteristic and the number of tasks and so on...

In this thesis, we designed specific LonWorks nodes for lighting control then implemented the lighting control system through the operating scenarios. Developed lighting controller plays a role of one network node and according to information from other nodes, decides whether it toms on the light or not. In this way the lights can be controlled by using the location information of light in the lighting control node and the grouping information of the lights in the switch node.
