Test Automation Platform©1 (TAP) is a software system that developers can use to test their own hardware or software (or combinations of both). Developers create TAP test plans by combining and configuring individual test steps in a GUI. Developers can also develop their own test steps with .NET to better suit their needs. Since (manual) programming is always prone to errors, TAP users need...
The method is suggested to establish master-slave communication between the Siemens PLC and field devices based on the Modbus protocol for process control systems. The data exchange between the PLC and current node in the network is organized by using the session data blocks. Creating the request package and unpacking the response from the slave device are carried out by the two respective functions...
Energy monitoring system is based on computer network, automation control and communication technology comprehensive application. To design energy monitoring system should not only in the monitoring data to real-time and accuracy and in maintaining rapid and convenient arrived on the requirements. The design for the above requirements, with centralized management, decentralized control and remote...
This paper presents a low-cost, re-configurable Modular Intelligent Node for Distribution systems (MIND). It can serve as a sustainable and general-purpose module for monitoring and automation of power distribution systems. MIND is designed and built with low-cost hardware, interconnectivity with other modules, and highly reconfigurable design of hardware and software to support newly added monitoring...
A secure and reliable critical infrastructure is a concern of industry and governments. SCADA systems (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) are a subgroup of ICS (Industrial Control Systems) and known to be well interconnected with other networks. It is not uncommon to use public networks as transport route but a rising number of incidents of industrial control systems shows the danger of excessive...
Research as well as industrial projects in the field of micro- and nanorobotics often incorporate complex experimental setups using different devices with varying and often complex interfaces. In order to provide an easier interface to these devices, this paper outlines the extension of a versatile software framework called OFFIS Automation Framework, for automation, image processing and controlling...
In this paper the problem of data flows managing in networks with two or more lines of communication between the various segments are considered and a modern way of solving it is shown. The network model, which is built with a network simulator ns-3 using the module «OpenFlow Switch Device», and the results of its study are shown.
This paper presents the automation of the power distribution system of the Pici Campus of the Federal University of Ceará. The paper aims to present the integration via protocol Open Platform Communications (OPC) of an application program for automatic restoration and a commercial Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). OPC ensures different application programs with proprietary protocols...
RESTCONF is a management protocol, based on REST principles, currently under design at the IETF. In this paper, we present our solution for automating conformance testing of RESTCONF agents. The solution takes as input the set of YANG modules supported by the agent and automatically generates test cases based on the YANG definitions. Test cases are consumed by a test execution environment, which issues...
An efficient supervision system requires not only a highspeed system, but also high reliability (i.e. fault tolerant systems), high flexibility (generic design) and high scalability (distributed design). Industrial applications have revealed these absolute needs that distinguish modern architectures from the known ones. Marrying top-level researches from three distinct domains — automation, distributed...
Companies are always looking for ways to increase production. The elevated consumerism pushes factories to produce more in less time. Industry automation came as the solution to increase quality, production and decrease costs. Since the early 70s, PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) has dominated industrial automation by replacing the relay logic circuits. However, due to its high costs, there are...
Automating functional size measurement (FSM) is important for organizations needing to measure a large number of projects within a short timeframe, provided, of course, that the results automatically generated are accurate, particularly when such measurement is based on an international measurement standard. A literature review has shown that very little work has been conducted on verifying measurement...
A LED urban lighting control system based on POWERLINK bus is proposed in this paper, which achieves real-time data communication between numerous LED urban lighting control units and the master. It supports hot swap and has good scalability and portability. The overall structure of this system and the implementation of hardware and software are shown. The testing indicates the data transmission time...
In this paper a platform is developed to facilitate the control of household loads using communication protocols relevant to home automation and substation automation systems. Protection IEDs that support IEC 61850 standard based protocol, universal secondary test gear for relays and a protocol converter are used to realize the protection/automation aspects for substation automation. The retrofitting...
The Future Internet is becoming a reality, providing a large-scale computing environments where a virtually infinite number of available services can be discovered and composed so to fit users' needs. In order to enable this large-scale and evolvable computing environment, the ability to automatically compose and dynamically coordinate heterogeneous software services is of paramount importance. Service...
CMMI(Capability Maturity Model Integration) is a process framework which is organized by goals, practice and process area. The Maturity Level 3 stressed that the project level process must be tailored from the organization level process, that is to say, no matter how the project level process changes, it must satisfy the constraints of the organization level process. However, companies usually prefer...
An interoperability test automation system has been implemented at the Wireless Communication Technologies Research Laboratory (KİTAL) at TÜBİTAK BİLGEM for secure IP communication terminals. Designed and manufactured at BİLGEM, MİLSEC-4 terminals provide VoIP signalling using SIP and end-to-end secure communication using SCIP protocols. This test system, called Shadow Coordinator, aims to verify...
In the future, production systems will consist of modular and flexible production components, being able to adapt to completely new manufacturing processes. This requirement arises from market turbulences caused by customer demands, i. e. highly customized goods in smaller production batches, or phenomenon like commercial crisis. In order to achieve adaptable production systems, one of the major challenges...
Several countries have invested in technologies for Smart Grids. Among such protocols designed cover this area, highlights the DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol version 3). Although the DNP3 be developed for operation over the serial interface, there is a trend in the literature to the use of other interfaces. The Zigbee wireless interface has become more popular in the industrial applications. In...
Freedom Fone (FF) is an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System that integrates with the Global System for Mobile (GSM) telecommunications [1]. Sahana is a disaster information management expert system working with Internet technologies [2]. The Project intent was to mediate information between the FF and Sahana through the Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) interoperable content standard [3]...
