Public street lighting system consists of devices distributed in points of light and a supervision and control application. The system architecture is modular and expandable. In developing the work the C# language is adopted to develop the operation and monitoring via standard CyberOPC and XML file types are applied to the device description and definition of the network topology. This paper describes...
Literature reports a growing number of successful case scenarios of simulators or training tools in the industrial control and automation area. Considering the learning environment in the industrial automation area, which is a complex area that may lead to ambiguous and in many cases unfair evaluation methods, it is essential to implement an evaluation system that enables teachers to identify the...
This article presents a fieldbus simulation platform and its remote access interface that enables a wide range of experiments where users can configure operation sequences and procedures typical of Foundation Fieldbus systems. The simulation system is developed using LabVIEW with requisites of deterministic execution and a course management work frame web server called Moodle. The evaluation tests...
Open source communities today supply parallel technologies for operational systems like Linux instead Windows, for office tools like Open Office instead Microsoft Office, software development tools like Java instead DotNet, etc. The source code of that kind of product is available to be enhanced and any one can give opinions helping in the definition/implementation. This is the tendency of the software...
The opportunity to integrate industrial automation applications from different cells over IP networks is a great advantage of such high level design over legacy proprietary data acquisition systems. The CyberOPC communication system is a research project in order to support and enhance all communications processes for manufacturing cells over Internet. That communication system was developed initially...
Support for interoperability and interchangeability of software components which are part of a fieldbus automation system relies on the definition of open architectures, most of them involving proprietary technologies. Concurrently, standard, open and nonproprietary technologies, such as XML, SOAP, Web services and the like, have greatly evolved and been diffused in the computing area. This article...
The industrial communication fieldbus protocols have evolved significantly in the last years. The advanced characteristics of instruments diagnosis and the advanced and flexible algorithms for control elaboration are some examples of advancements that have collaborated for this evolution. Considering this evolution, the automation systems have demanded more and more skilled people and tools directed...
