Design, implementation, and performance analysis of the WorldFIP/ATM local bridge

World factory instrumentation protocol (WorldFIP) is a fieldbus network protocol that provides a link between level zero (sensors/actuators) and level one (field controllers such as programmable logic controllers, etc.) in industrial automation systems. Accessing and connecting the WorldFIP remotely is important for monitoring, maintaining, and controlling devices in a factory in which asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is used as a backbone network. In this study, a transparent WorldPIP/ATM bridge was designed and implemented in order to access devices on WorldFIP via an ATM network. This designed bridge may also provide control of the devices over wide area networks. The bridge's performance was investigated using network simulation software under various message traffic conditions. The results obtained from the simulations showed that the bridge provides real-time communications between WorldFIP and ATM

Üretim (fabrika), süreç ve bina otomasyon uygulamalarında yaygın olarak kullanılan PROFIBUS, 100 m ile 1200 m mesafede 9.6 kbps ile 12 Mbps arasındaki iletişim hızlarını desteklemektedir. Bu durum, PROFIBUS'ın daha geniş kapsama alanları ve yüksek hızlarda kullanılabilmesi için omurga teknolojisine sahip arabağlaşım elemanlarının kullanımını gerektirir.Arabağlaşım için kullanılan omurga protokolü gereksinimleri gelişen teknolojilerle birlikte değişmektedir. Günümüzde, kurulum kolaylığı ve hareketlilik avantajlarından dolayı kablolu omurga çözümlerine karşılık, kablosuz omurga çözümleri de kullanılmaya başlanmış ve hızla yaygınlaşmaktadır. Kablosuz genişbant omurga teknolojisi olan IEEE 802.16-WiMAX, görüş hattında 50 km'lik bir kapsama alanı, 120 Mbps veri transfer hızı ve farklı servis sınıflarında (UGS, rtPS, nrtPS, BE, ErtPS) hizmet kalitesi sunan bir protokoldür.Bu çalışmada, farklı lokasyonlardaki PROFIBUS segmentlerini IEEE 802.16-WiMAX kablosuz omurga teknolojisi üzerinden UGS servis sınıfı kullanarak birbirine bağlayan bir arabağlaşım birimi önerilmektedir.

PROFIBUS (PROcess FIeld BUS) which is defined with the international standards (IEC61158, EN50170) is the most popular fieldbus. PROFIBUS which is used frequently in manufacturing (factory), process and building automations, provides datarates from 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps at distance from 100 to 1200 meters. This situation requires using of internetworking units which has backbone technology, for using PROFIBUS at more coverage area and high datarates.The requirements of a backbone protocol used for internetworking, are changed by the development in technology. Nowadays, because of advantages of easiness in installation and mobility, in addition to the wired backbone solutions, wireless backbone solutions began to be used and rapidly became common. As a wireless broadband backbone technology, IEEE 802.16-WiMAX is a protocol that can serve a 50 km coverage area, a 120 Mbps datarate and a QoS at different service classes (UGS, rtPS, nrtPS, BE, ErtPS) in line-of-sight.In this study, an internetworking unit is proposed that interconnects PROFIBUS segments placed at different locations through a wireless backbone technology of IEEE 802.16-WiMAX by using UGS service class.

Flavonoidler bitki aleminde yaygın olarak bulunan doğal bileşiklerdir. Çok çeşitli biyolojik aktivitelere sahip olmaları nedeniyle bu bileşiklerin sentezine olan ilgi de giderek artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bazı flavonoid türevlerinin sentezi için yeni yöntemler geliştirilmiştir.

Due to their diverse biological avtivities, synthesis of these compounds has a great interest. In this study, new methods were improved for the synthesis of some flavonoids. First of all, starting with 1,3-diketones and using NaHSCvSiCh as the catalyst, synthesis of flavones was examined by conventional heating. The same reactions were also carried out in solvent free conditions by microwave irradiation. These methods not only afforded the products in high yield but also avoided the problems associated with catalyst cost, handling, safety and pollution. At last, chalcone flavanone isomerization was investigated and found that the conversion is possible by heating in ethandiole at 150°C. ]H NMR, i3C NMR and mass spectrums of all the final products were elucidated

Timing Analysis of the FlexRay Communication Protocol

FlexRay will very likely become the de-facto standard for in-vehicle communications. However, before it can be successfully used for safety-critical applications that require predictability, timing analysis techniques are necessary for providing bounds for the message communication times. In this paper, we propose techniques for determining the timing properties of messages transmitted in both the static (ST) and the dynamic (DYN) segments of a FlexRay communication cycle. The analysis techniques for messages are integrated in the context of a holistic schedulability analysis that computes the worst-case response times of all the tasks and messages in the system. We have evaluated the proposed analysis techniques using extensive experiments. 1

Wireless industrial monitoring and control networks: the journey so far and the road ahead

While traditional wired communication technologies have played a crucial role in industrial monitoring and control networks over the past few decades, they are increasingly proving to be inadequate to meet the highly dynamic and stringent demands of today’s industrial applications, primarily due to the very rigid nature of wired infrastructures. Wireless technology, however, through its increased pervasiveness, has the potential to revolutionize the industry, not only by mitigating the problems faced by wired solutions, but also by introducing a completely new class of applications. While present day wireless technologies made some preliminary inroads in the monitoring domain, they still have severe limitations especially when real-time, reliable distributed control operations are concerned. This article provides the reader with an overview of existing wireless technologies commonly used in the monitoring and control industry. It highlights the pros and cons of each technology and assesses the degree to which each technology is able to meet the stringent demands of industrial monitoring and control networks. Additionally, it summarizes mechanisms proposed by academia, especially serving critical applications by addressing the real-time and reliability requirements of industrial process automation. The article also describes certain key research problems from the physical layer communication for sensor networks and the wireless networking perspective that have yet to be addressed to allow the successful use of wireless technologies in industrial monitoring and control networks

Ethernet - a survey on its fields of application

During the last decades, Ethernet progressively became the most widely used local area networking (LAN) technology. Apart from LAN installations, Ethernet became also attractive for many other fields of application, ranging from industry to avionics, telecommunication, and multimedia. The expanded application of this technology is mainly due to its significant assets like reduced cost, backward-compatibility, flexibility, and expandability. However, this new trend raises some problems concerning the services of the protocol and the requirements for each application. Therefore, specific adaptations prove essential to integrate this communication technology in each field of application. Our primary objective is to show how Ethernet has been enhanced to comply with the specific requirements of several application fields, particularly in transport, embedded and multimedia contexts. The paper first describes the common Ethernet LAN technology and highlights its main features. It reviews the most important specific Ethernet versions with respect to each application field’s requirements. Finally, we compare these different fields of application and we particularly focus on the fundamental concepts and the quality of service capabilities of each proposal
