© Industrias Schenck S.A Hoja 6 VI COLOQUIOS PARA DIRECTORES Y TÉCNICOS DE FABRICAS DE CEMENTO Ethernet has a great problem… a lack of determinism

© Industrias Schenck S.A Hoja 7 VI COLOQUIOS PARA DIRECTORES Y TÉCNICOS DE FABRICAS DE CEMENTO The problem has been solved with IEEE1588 Allows to sincronize the internal at both extremes of the link. The most accurate clock is selected. Only valid for connection from point to point. All the intercommunication hardware must fulfill IEEE1588.

© Industrias Schenck S.A Hoja 8 VI COLOQUIOS PARA DIRECTORES Y TÉCNICOS DE FABRICAS DE CEMENTO A clear request: to be modular

© Industrias Schenck S.A Hoja 9 VI COLOQUIOS PARA DIRECTORES Y TÉCNICOS DE FABRICAS DE CEMENTO Other fundamental requests: The data base must be stable. The data should be shared with other applications. The data should be exported to other data bases. The data should be exported to other formats (Excel, pdf,…). The data should be accessible from the net. Flexibility: the system must support different configurations.

© Industrias Schenck S.A Hoja 15 VI COLOQUIOS PARA DIRECTORES Y TÉCNICOS DE FABRICAS DE CEMENTO Web characteristics The data management module of the system is in fact an Internet server which permits to visualize, modify and print the system’s data through the web navegator. Any corporate computer serves for the data management without having to install additional software. It possesses access control for the users of the different security levels and remote access through Internet is also possible.

© Industrias Schenck S.A Hoja 16 VI COLOQUIOS PARA DIRECTORES Y TÉCNICOS DE FABRICAS DE CEMENTO Conclusions Growing expansion of Ethernet for Industrial Communications. Net architecture must fulfil IEEE Filed instruments must be of the web-generation and have high compatibility with existing systems (DISOBOX). New perspectives for remote maintenance are open. The program environment must create web applications (LOGIX). Net operative decentralized and with simultaneous running programs.
