Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
Published in Chanchal Dey, Sunit Kumar Sen, Industrial Automation Technologies, 2020
The choice of HMI software requires an analysis of product specifications and features. Important considerations include system architectures, standards and platforms; ease of implementation, administration, and use; performance, scalability, and integration; and total costs and pricing. Some HMI software provide data logging, alarms, security, forecasting, operations planning, and control. Others support data migration from legacy systems. Unified HMI supports a number of network communications which include ControlNet and DeviceNet. ControlNet is a real-time, control layer network that provides high-speed transportation of both time-critical I/O data and messaging data. DeviceNet is designed to connect industrial devices such as limit switches, photoelectric cells, valve manifolds, motor starters, drives, and operator displays to PLCs and PCs. A number of HMI software run on Microsoft Windows CE, a version of the Windows operating system that is designed for handheld devices. Windows CE allows users to deploy the same HMI software on distributed HMI servers, machine-level embedded HMI, diskless open HMI machines, and portable or pocket-sized HMI devices.
ControlNet
Published in Sunit Kumar Sen, Fieldbus and Networking in Process Automation, 2017
ControlNet communication is a high-speed deterministic network used for the transmission of time-critical applications and can be scheduled as per requirement. Common network sniffers cannot sniff into ControlNet packets. In peer-to-peer communication mode, it provides real-time control and messaging services. It supports the producerconsumer network model, allowing data from a node to be multicast, resulting in increased efficiency and higher system performance.

I4.0 KETs could deliver promising solutions on the generated challenges and issues, related to the vehicle design and the modularity of batteries (Figure 5). This involves the use of I4.0 concepts in various tasks during the development and efficient integration of the modular battery pack, as well as during the accurate monitoring of the battery condition and state of charge. Cloud-based BMS and the use of Digital Twins could deliver real-time and accurate processing of data obtained from the modular battery pack in order for the vehicle designer’s specifications (Weihan et al. 2020) to be metContext aware design of modular configurations, through the Genetic Algorithms for the modular design and connectivity (in series or in parallel) of the battery cells and modules (Breban 2016)Process Planning with main criteria cost, time, safety (i.e. heat during welding) and circularity (Gallagher and Nelson 2014)Product-Service System, as a hybrid technical-business model, to solve intellectual property rights (IPR) data (Meier, Roy, and Seliger 2010)Blockchain towards certification and IPRSafety Network protocols (CIP Safety, PROFIsafe, openSAFETY, FSoE etc.) and communication protocols used for the automation of processes (AS-I, BSAP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, CC-Link Industrial Networks, DNP3, UAVCAN etc.) to ensure safe operation of machinery in the replacing battery stations
