Industrial control systems and buses - theory and praxes

conference paper

English

Many current control systems for industrial control of manufacturing or production are build as distributed control system. There are used autonomous control systems like programmable logic controllers or other microprocessor based control systems, intelligent sensors, standalone controllers, self-tuning controllers, actuators, analog and logical inputs/outputs connected together by industrial serial fieldbuses. That control systems are often connected to a high-level network, which can be accepted as network like Intranet, where are connected workstations, operator stations, database servers and etc. In the near future a huge amount of new systems will be based on that scheme. Those systems are going to be larger, more complex and difficult to manage and sensitive to faults. However this scheme brings high modularity, flexibility and new abilities to classical control systems.
