산업제어 시스템의 통신 프로토콜 중 하나인 MODBUS/TCP는 오늘날 산업체에서 높은 점유율로 사용되고 있다. 단순한 구조로 다양한 기능을 가지고 있어 "hard real system"에서 주로 사용되고 있는 MODBUS/TCP의 보안 적용 방안 또한 많은 연구로 진행되어 왔다. DNP3, SSL, SCTP와 같은 프로토콜을 연동하거나 공개키를 이용한 전자서명 적용 등의 방법이 대표적인 MODBUS/TCP의 보안 방법은 충분한 메모리 크기, 고속 공개키 연산을 위한 하드웨어 가속기 등을 요구로 한다. 하지만 I/O 디바이스 등 열악한 환경에 이는 부담스러운 요소로 작용될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이러한 열악한 환경에서 안전한 MODBUS/TCP 통신과 기존의 MODBUS/TCP와의 호환성을 고려한 보안 적용 방안을 소개한다. 또한 측정한 결과를 통해 본 논문에서 제시하는 E-ModbusSec가 "hard real system"에서 충분히 제 역할을 수행할 수 있음을 보이고자 한다.

As a serial communications protocol, Modbus has become a practically standard communication protocol and is now a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. Therefore, all devices can be connected using the Modbus protocol with the measurement and remote control on ships, buildings, trains, airplanes and more. The existing Modbus that has been used is based on serial communication. Modbus TCP uses Ethernet communication based on TCP / IP which is the most widely used Internet protocol today; so, it is faster than serial communication and can be connected to the Internet of Things. In this paper, we designed an algorithm to control LED lighting in a wireless Wi-Fi environment using the Modbus TCP communication protocol, and designed and implemented a LED controller circuit that can check external environmental factors and control remotely through the integrated management system of a ship. Temperature, humidity, current and illuminance values, which are external environmental factors, are received by the controller through the sensors, and these values are communicated to the ship's integrated management system via the Modbus protocol. The Modbus can be connected to Master devices via TCP communication to monitor temperature, humidity, current, illuminance status and LED output values, and also users can change the RGB value remotely in order to change to the desired color. In addition, in order to confirm the implementation of the controller, we developed a simulated ship management system to monitor the temperature, humidity, current and illumination conditions, and change the LED color of the controller by changing the RGB value remotely.

MODBUS/TCP는 단순하며 기능이 다양해 산업제어시스템에서 높은 점유율로 사용되는 통신 프로토콜이다. 오랜 시간 많은 사용과 더불어 안전한 MODBUS/TCP를 위한 연구 또한 많이 이루어졌지만, 이는 공개키 적용, SSL과 같은 라이브러리 연동, SCTP와 연동한 Hybrid 형식 등이 대부분이다. hard real system에서 주로 사용되는 MODBUS/TCP는 무엇보다 정해진 timeout 시간 내에 통신이 이루어지도록 해야 한다. 따라서 앞서 말한 방법은 하드웨어 가속기, 충분한 메모리 요구량 등의 문제가 따른다. 본 논문은 hard real system의 산업제어시스템에서 요구하는 timeout 시간을 충족하며 안전한 통신을 제공하는 보안 적용 방안을 소개하며 실험의 결과를 통해 실질적으로 효과적인 대안임을 보이고자 한다.

Communication between system modules is applied using the Modbus protocol in industrial sites including smart factories, industrial drones, building energy management systems, PLCs, ships, trains, and airplanes. The existing Modbus was used for serial communication, but the recent Modbus protocol is used for TCP/IP communication.The Modbus protocol supports RTU, TCP and ASCII, and implements and uses protocols in embedded systems. However, the transmission I/O devices for RTU, TCP, and ASCII-based protocols may differ. For example, RTU and ASCII communications transmit on a serial-based communication protocol, but in some cases, Ethernet TCP/IP transmission is required. In particular, since the C language (object-oriented) is used in embedded systems, the complexity of source code related to I/O registers increases. In this study, we designed software that can logically separate I/O functions from embedded devices, and designed the execution logic of each instance requiring I/O processing through a delegate class instance with Modbus RTU, TCP, and ASCII protocol generation. We designed and experimented with software that can separate communication I/O processing and logical execution logic for each instance.

This paper describes development of distributed type independent electro-hydraulic ballast valve remote control system with diagnostic function based on fuzzy inference using redundant Modbus communication and ethernet Modbus TCP/IP. Diagnostic function estimate degradation of system components and diagnose system faults, which results in shortage of fault maintenance time and improvement of system safety. Slave devices which control each valve and master device which command, monitor and diagnose slave system are developed. Slave devices are connected to master device with redundant Modbus networks and master device is connected to ship's integrated control system with Modbus TCP/IP. Also this paper describes development of simulator to test and confirm whether developed system can be integrated with ship's integrated control and monitoring system.

This research propose and simulate a solar power generation system monitoring system based on Modbus TCP communication using RaspberryPi, an IOT equipment, as a master and an inverter as a slave. In this model, various sensors are added to the RaspberryPi to add necessary information for monitoring solar power plants, and power generation prediction and monitoring information are transmitted to the smart phone through real-time power generation prediction. In addition, information that is continuously generated by the solar power plant is built on the server as big data, and a deep learning model for predicting power generation is trained and updated. As a result of the study, stable communication was possible based on Modbus TCP with the Raspberry Pi in the inverter, and real-time prediction was possible with the deep learning model learned in the Raspberry Pi. The server was able to train various deep learning models with big data, and it was confirmed that LSTM showed the best error with a learning error of 0.0069, a test error of 0.0075, and an RMSE of 0.0866. This model suggested that it is possible to implement a real-time monitoring system that is simpler, more convenient, and can predict the amount of power generation for inverters of various manufacturers.

In the case of data communication, the proposed monitoring system is designed to support users to remotely manage with the cloud server by implementing conversion between Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP of protocol communications. The proposed communication technique has been verified by experiments.

As interest in environmental pollution caused by ship emissions is increasing worldwide, many studies are being conducted on the development of systems that increase energy efficiency to reduce ship emissions. In order to test the energy management system controller driven in real time on a large ship, it is necessary to perform the test through the simulator. In this study, addresses were set for each signal according to Modbus TCP/IP so that each control system and energy management system could be linked, and the algorithm was configured according to the signal flow. In addition, the signal generator was designed and manufactured so that each controller could artificially generate the signal collected from the vessel. As a result of the simulator production and interlocking, it was confirmed that each controller operated in real time performed its role appropriately, and that the algorithm of the ship energy management system was properly applied.

In this paper, we design a gateway protocol architecture for building an IoT-based smart factory. A smart factory system consists of several terminal devices, gateways and servers, and connects them through a wireless network. The terminal device collects information from various sensors and transmits the information to the server through the gateway. The terminal device controls the actuator by receiving a control signal according to a control algorithm of the server or by manual operation. Therefore, the gateway system connects Wi-SUN, a wireless smart utility network, and the Internet, serves as a Wi-SUN coordinator, and is equipped with Modbus-TCP to interwork with SCADA.
