1. 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….
