  1. Sensor/Actuator Manager Candidates CPAC/NeSSI Workshop May 5, 2005, Seattle,WA by Softing North America Ken Hoover

  2. Analysis Tools OPC Technology Ethernet Softing -- a recognized world leader in the key technologies of industrial communications Fieldbus Products Based on Open Standards

  3. Technology Expertise • Industrial Fieldbuses • Protocol stacks • Device development • Diagnostic software • Hardware interfaces • Ethernet Gateways • OPC (Software Bridges)

  4. Connect host systems on Ethernet to local fieldbus networks Support multiple fieldbus channels Support a variety of industrial fieldbus serial protocols FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 PROFIBUS CAN/CANopen/DeviceNet Can be adapted to industrial Ethernet protocols FOUNDATION Fieldbus HSE Modbus/TCP PROFInet Ethernet/IP Gateways can have embedded Linux operating systems SAM Solution via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways

  5. SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways • PROFIBUS Example • Gateway “tunnels” data to Host Systems via Ethernet • Host Systems must have PROFI awareness • Sensors are often wired to concentrators • Remote I/O racks • PLC’s • Proprietary controllers

  6. SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways • FF-HSE Example • Gateway “Links” and maps data from H1 Devices through to HSE Host systems • Devices are intelligent, architecture is distributed, requiring no concentrator • Host Systems must have HSE Support

  7. SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways HMI / SCADA Control • Modbus/TCP Example • Gateway collects data locally and stores it in local memory • Host with Modbus/TCP support can send and receive data from gateway • Host Systems must have Modbus/TCP support Modbus/TCP FG-100 FF/M FF-H1 H1 Devices

  8. Input Output 40001-40100 30001-30400 status information global control registers 31001-31160 41001-41160 H1 ch1 80 AI H1 ch1 80 AO 41201-41280 31201-31280 H1 ch1 80 DI H1 ch1 80 DO 42001-42160 32001-32160 H1 ch2 80 AI H1 ch2 80 AO 32201-32280 42201-42280 H1 ch2 80 DO H1 ch2 80 DI 33001-33160 43001-43160 H1 ch3 80 AO H1 ch3 80 AI 43201-43280 33201-33280 H1 ch3 80 DO H1 ch3 80 DI 34001-34160 44001-44160 H1 ch4 80 AO H1 ch4 80 AI 34201-34280 44201-44280 H1 ch4 80 DO H1 ch4 80 DI 45001-... 35001-... compact input image compact output image SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways Modbus/TCP Client e.g. PLC • Modbus/TCP Example Ethernet • Gateway maps FF-H1 Process Data to Local Memory (Modbus Registers) Modbus Registers Built-in Multi I/O Blocks Gateway Modbus View FF H1 View 4 FF H1 Lines FF H1 Devices

  9. SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways • Modbus/TCP Example • Gateway managed via embedded web server • Comprehensive diagnostics

  10. SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways • Modbus/TCP Example • Process data available via web browser • Resident memory makes data available at any time

  11. SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways • A hybrid solution may be the best • Uses OPC • Originally OLE for Process Control • Software bridge technology used in thousands of applications • Now works with Linux as well as Windows • OPC for Linux allows embedding OPC functionality in devices (gateways) • Toolkits are available to customize systems to sensor/actuator manufacturer requirements

  12. SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways HMI / SCADA Control • Hybrid Example via OPC • Gateway collects data locally and stores it in local memory • Embedded OPC Server makes data available to any software package or system with OPC Client functionality. • Host systems without OPC functionality can add it via OPC toolkits • System can work with any fieldbus technology and leverages standard technologies (Ethernet) Ethernet TCP/IP Gateway with embedded OPC Server Fieldbus Sensor/Actuators

  13. What are we waiting for? • Not much, really… • Lots of technology available for SAM functionality. • Customer requirements need to be defined. • Lower cost for NeSSI devices will drive availability of SAM products.
