In many automated systems, such as manufacturing systems and process plants, a fieldbus is a very important component for the exchange of various and sometimes crucial information. Some of the information has a tendency to rapidly lose its value as time elapses after its creation. Such information or data is called real-time data that includes sensor values and control commands. In order to deliver these data in time, the fieldbus network should be tailored to have short delay with respect to the individual time limit of various data. Fine-tuning the network for a given traffic requires the knowledge on the relationship between the protocol parameters such as timer values and the performance measure such as network delay. This paper presents a mathematical performance model to calculate communication delays of the Profibus-FMS network when the timer value and the traffic characteristics are given.

The fieldbus is one of the communication networks in control and automation systems and allows the exchange of information between sensors/actuators and controlling elements. By means of the fieldbus, the various field devices can exchange their information among the nodes in the system. In this paper, we implemented the protocol of profibus, a kind of fieldbus for communication in FMS plant model. We applied this fieldbus to the FMS plant model which consists of three stations and eight slave stations.

Some of the information has a tendency to rapidly lose its value as time elapses after its creation.

Fine-tuning the network for a given traffic requires the knowledge on the relationship between the protocol parameters such as timer values and the performance measure such as network delay. This paper presents a mathematical performance model to calculate communication delays of the Profibus FMS network when the timer value TTR and the traffic characteristics are given. The results of this model is compared to those from experiments to assess the model's validity.

Fieldbus provides real-time data communication among field devices in the manufacturing automation and process control systems. In this study, an experimental model of fieldbus-based manufacturing automation system is developed. Experimental model consists of two robots, two conveyor belts, NC machine, PLC, sensors and operator station. These machines are interconnected into the Profibus network, and exchange their data through the services provided by FMS(Fieldbus Message Specification), which is the application layer protocol of Profibus. The experimental model is used to measure the network-induced delay of variable and file data transmitted through FMS services. Network-induced delays are collected and analyzed on each sublayer of Profibus protocol stack. The results obtained from the experiment of this study can be effectively utilized when fieldbus is implemented on the practical manufacturing automation systems.

A cluster tool for semiconductor manufacturing is an integrated device that consists of several single wafer processing modules and a wafer transport module based on a robot. The distributed module controllers are integrated by an inter-module communication network and coordinated by a centralized controller, called a cluster tool controller (CTC). Since the CTC monitors and coordinates the distributed complex module controllers for advanced process control, complex commuication messaging and services between the CTC and the module controllers are required. A SEMI standard, CTMC(Cluster Tool Module Communication), specifies application-level communication service requirements for inter-module communication. We propose the use of high-level fieldbuses, for instance. PROFIBUS-FMS, for implementing CTMC since the high-level fieldbuses are well suited for complex real-time distributed manufacturing control applications. We present a way of implementing CTMC using PROFIBUS-FMS as the communication enabler. We first propose improvements of a key object of CTMC for material transfer and the part transfer protocol to meet the functional requirements of modem advanced cluster tools. We also discuss mapping objects and services of CTMC to PROFIBUS-FMS communication objects and services. Finally, we explain how to implement the mappings.

Most networks for automation are tuned to an expected traffic condition ar their design stage. During their actual operations, however, the networks experience considerable changes in traffic from time to time. These traffic changes caused by common events like machine failure and production schedule change may adversely affect th network performance and, in turn , the performance of the connected devices. This paper presents experimental results for performance management of a Profibus-FMS network. The performance management aims to maintain a uniform level of network performance at all stations under changing network traffic. The performance management algorithm monitors the performance of individual network stations and commands the stations to change their timer values in order to have comparable performance at all stations. In order to determine the amount of timer change, the algorithm employs a set of fuzzy rules. The algorithm has been evaluated on a Profibus network.

최근 다수의 외부 장치를 제어하는 운전원 모듈에서는 빈번하게 변하는 신호를 자동적으로 관리하는 시스템을 이용하고 있다. 이러한 모듈들은 높은 신뢰성과 실시간 처리를 필요로 한다. 데이터 들은 매우 용량이 크며, 짧은 보고 주기, 비동기적인 보고 시간을 가진다. 시스템에 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 질의는 최신의 값을 검색하는 현재질의, 과거 특정시점의 값을 검색하는 스냅샷 질의, 과거부터 현재까지의 값들을 검색하는 이력 질의 등이 있다. 이 논문에서는 QNX 운영체제에서 파일 구조화된 데이터베이스를 이용하여 위와 같은 신호들을 효율적으로 관리하는 기법을 제안하고자한다. 장치들 간의 데이터 통신은 Profibus-FMS 프로토콜을 이용하며, 모니터 주기를 자유롭게 설정하거나 데이터를 저장하기 위해 파일 데이터베이스를 이용한다. 파일 데이터베이스는 QNX COM의 적은 저장장치, 낮은 계산 능력을 감안하여 델타버젼과 주기적 백업 등의 방법을 도입한다.
