FUTURE DIRECTIONS OF INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL
2
Presented by…. Steve Mackay of IDC Technologies with Warren Mitchell assisting…. Copyright acknowledgement to IDC Technologies and to ARC Advisory Group on material presented taken from Plant Automation Support Survey (June’02).
3
A few thoughts on... The Future of I & C Your future in this industry Training trends
4
The Future of Instrumentation and Control
5
Fairly Predictable Ethernet (and TCP/IP) & Fieldbus Safety Instrumentation Industrial IT (incl. Security)/Supply Chain/E-Commerce & E-manufacturing)
6
ETHERNET, TCP/IP & FIELDBUS
7
UTP 10Base T System
8
100-MBit Ethernet Defined in IEEE802.3u standard Uses CSMA/CD media access Ethernet frame format High speed interface on: 100Base-TX for Cat 5 wiring 100Base-FX for Fibre Optic
9
Switch Types Server Segment Switch Server Private LAN Switch
10
TCP/IP & InterNetworking
11
Internetworking with TCP/IP Networks generally do not exist in isolation, and need to be interconnected An increasingly popular suite of protocols to handle this is TCP/IP TCP - Transmission Control Protocol….a reliable transport service IP - Internet Protocol….a delivery service
12
Fieldbus and DeviceNetworks CNC PC/VME VME/PC PLC DCS Area Controller Ethernet/TCP/IPTCP/IP/Ethernet PROFIBUS-FMS PROFIBUS-DPPROFIBUS-PA Factory level Bus Cycle Time < 1000 ms Cell Level Bus Cycle Time < 100 ms Field Level Bus Cycle- Time < 10 ms
13
FOUNDATION FIELDBUS SCADABRIDGE H1 ANALYZER PLC H1… Lower Speed Fieldbus 31.25 Kbps Replaces 4 to 20 mA 2 - 32 Devices Power & Communications Intrinsically Safe Twisted-pair 1900 m length PLC SERVER GATEWAY ETHERNET H2 HSE… High Speed E t h e r n e t 100 MBps TCP/IP and standard Ethernet
14
SAFETY INSTRUMENTATION
15
Based on 34 investigated incidents in the UK : “Out of Control”, HSE Accidents Caused by Control and Safety System Failures
16
SUPPLY CHAIN, E-COMMERCE AND E-MANUFACTURING
17
Industrial IT, Supply Chain, E- Commerce, E-manufacturing Computers exchanging commercial information Suppliers tied closely to your site Customers tied closely to your site Manufacturing/Process Control (eg via SCADA) tied to business systems
19
And not so Predictable Trends….. People required (ie YOU !) see next section….
20

Good Luck !
36
And now for something completely different !
37
A quick Instrumentation and Control Quiz Prizes are not mickey mouse…but practical, highly regarded and excellent books: Two of the famous “Industrial Control Handbook”…. R2500 each Four of the practical “EMC For Product Designers” at R800 each
38
De Beer da Rules... First person to put his hand up gets to give his answer to the panel - ie to YOU ! Your peers will decide. Geoff Cragg’s decision will be final. You only get one chance !
39

40
Quiz Question No. 2 Where would you use an OTDR as opposed to a power meter in faultfinding of fibre optic cable ?
41
Quiz Question No. 3 What is the difference in the functions of TCP and IP in the TCP/IP protocol ?
42
