Sensor/Actuator Manager Candidates CPAC/NeSSI Workshop May 5, 2005, Seattle,WA by Softing North America Ken Hoover
Analysis Tools OPC Technology Ethernet Softing -- a recognized world leader in the key technologies of industrial communications Fieldbus Products Based on Open Standards
Technology Expertise • Industrial Fieldbuses • Protocol stacks • Device development • Diagnostic software • Hardware interfaces • Ethernet Gateways • OPC (Software Bridges)
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
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
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
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

SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways • Modbus/TCP Example • Gateway managed via embedded web server • Comprehensive diagnostics
SAM Solutions via Fieldbus/Ethernet Gateways • Modbus/TCP Example • Process data available via web browser • Resident memory makes data available at any time
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
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
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.
