This paper is about the development of surface inspection of bearing inner and outer race using machine vision. Before this system is developed, most inspections are performed by workers' naked eye. To improve both the inconvenience and incorrectness, another new tester is introduced. This system has the three sections mainly. First one is the mechanism section which transfers bearing manufactured from previous process line to the testing process in plant. Another is the inspection system which is composed of two parts: computer vision and measurement system using laser diode which inspects the defects of the bearing inner or outer race. The other is the pneumatic cylinder part controlled by Programmable Logic Controller(PLC). The system which is developed shows favorable results, and that has the advantage of convenience and correctness compared to previous system.

본 논문은 Sequence Diagram을 이용한 안전등급 PLC(Safety-Grade Programmable Logic Controller) 운영 체제의 인터페이스 설계명세를 기술한다. 원자력 발전소에 사용하기 위한 안전 소프트웨어(Safety Software)의 규제 기준인 Reg. Guide는 IEEE Std 1016, IEEE Std 1016.1 의 설계명세서 작성 표준에 따라 작성하도록 요구하며, 이러한 규제기준과 기 표준을 안전등급 PLC를 위한 운영체제 소프트웨어의 설계명 세서도 만족해야 한다. 특히 운영 체제와 외부 장치들 사이의 인터페이스를 위해 실시간 특성의 표현에 장점을 갖는 Sequence Diagram을 적용함으로써 운영체제의 인터페이스에 대한 정확성, 완전성, 그리고 일관성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

Software safety for nuclear reactor protection systems (RPSs) is the most important requirement for the obtainment of permission for operation and export from government authorities, which is why it should be managed with well-experienced software development processes. The RPS software is typically modeled with function block diagrams (FBDs) in the design phase, and then mechanically translated into C programs in the implementation phase, which is finally compiled into executable machine codes and loaded on RPS hardware - PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Whereas C Compilers are fully-verified COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) software, translators from FBDs to C programs are provided by PLC vendors. Long-term experience, experiments and simulations have validated their correctness and function safety. This paper proposes a behavior-preserving translation from FBD design to C implementation for RPS software. It includes two sets of translation algorithms and rules as well as a prototype translator. We used an example of RPS software in a Korean nuclear power plant to demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed translation.

Instrumentation and Control (I&C) systems of nuclear power plants (NPPs) have been continuously digitalized. These systems have a critical role in the operation of nuclear facilities by functioning as the brain of NPPs. In recent years, as cyber security threats to NPP systems have increased, regulatory and policy-related organizations around the world, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Korea Institute of Nuclear Nonproliferation and Control (KINAC), have emphasized the importance of nuclear cyber security by publishing cyber security guidelines and recommending cyber security requirements for NPP facilities. As described in NRC Regulatory Guide (Reg) 5.71 and KINAC RS015, challenge response authentication should be applied to the critical digital I&C system of NPPs to satisfy the cyber security requirements. There have been no cases in which the most robust response authentication technology like challenge response has been developed and applied to nuclear I&C systems. This paper presents a challenge response authentication mechanism for a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system used as a control system in the safety system of the Advanced Power Reactor (APR) 1400 NPP.

The monitoring system for maintaining on-site wastewater treatment plants(Biofilter) was developed. Proposed system applied PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) technique. In process of development, the research against the monitoring parameters which will be able to represent condition and operation of the plants was accomplished. These parameters are ORP(Oxidation-Reduction Potential), Water Level, Pump and Power on/off. Also, to measure, collect, transfer and display these parameters, DMU(Data Measurement Unit), MCU(Main Controller Unit) and Display Board were produced.

In this paper, a real-time fault tolerant control system has been designed for the cooling system of the spent fuel pool storage. The fault tolerant control system consists of the fault detection part, the redundant actuator part(main and backup pumps) and the controller implemented on programmable. logic controller. This paper considers only the actuator fault whose detection is accomplished using Friedland's separated bias estimation method. This paper also shows the real-time experimental results from which it can be concluded that the designed fault tolerant control system exhibits satisfactory performance.

It is well known that steam generator water level control at low power operation has many difficulties in a PWR (pressurized water reactor) nuclear power plant. The reverse process responses known as shrink and swell effects make it difficult to control the steam generator water level at low power. A new automatic control logic to remove the reverse process responses is proposed in this paper. It is implemented in PLC (programmable logic controller) and evaluated by using test equipment in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The simulation test shows that the performance requirements is met at low power (below 15%). The water level control by new control logic is stabilized within 1% fluctuation from setpoint, while the water level by YGN 3 and 4 control logic is unstable with the periodic fluctuation of 25% magnitude at 5% power.

어느 정도 규모를 가진 실험 설비를 자동화하기 위해서 분산 I/O를 지원해 주는 자동화 컨트롤러를 사용하는 것이 편리하며 이러한 용도로 PLC(Programmable Logic Controller), PAC(Programmable Automation Controller) 등을 사용하고 있다. 하지만 기능적으로 필요로 하는 I/O 이외에 전원장치, 백프레임, 그리고 메인콘트롤러 등의 항목이 추가된다. 이러한 제한은 필요로 하는 자동화 대상인 설비의 I/O의 접점수가 많지 않지만 이들을 분산하여 설치될 필요가 있을 경우 전체 시스템을 자동화 하는데 소요되는 비용을 필요 이상으로 높이게 된다. 본 연구는 현재 한국원자력연구원에서 시험 운전 중인 TS-NBI 장치의 자동화에 이용할 목적으로 자동화 대상 설비의 I/O 접점수가 많지 않지만 분산 I/O로 구성하여야 하는 경우에 적용할 해결책을 찾기 위해서 수행 하였다.
