Integration in Manufacturing which allows to make more efficient the plant operation through a rationalised automation involving not only the control but also the maintenance and the technical management islands, is not yet the reality despite the increasing of Information Technology capabilities. Indeed the industrial ways of thinking are changing slowly because they require standardised solut...

In the process industry, network and system security have become important since the introduction of Ethernet-based fieldbus protocols. As an example, a successful attack on a power plant, supporting large cities with energy, could result in a temporal but total power loss. Such attacks could be devastating for the society. The security threats are real, and motivations for attacking industrial...

We present a case study on automatic synthesis of control software from formal speciications for an industrial automation control system. Our aim is to compare the eeectiveness (i.e. design eeort and controller quality) of automatic controller synthesis from closed loop formal speciications with that of manual controller design followed by automatic veriication. Our experimental results show th...

About ODVA Founded in 1995, ODVA is a global trade association whose members are comprised of the world's leading automation companies that make and sell products compliant with ODVA technologies. ODVA's mission is to advance open, interoperable information and communication technologies in industrial automation and thus create value for our members, adopters, alliance partners and employees. O...

Automation is “the application of machines to tasks once performed by human beings, or increasingly, to tasks that would otherwise be impossible”, Encyclopaedia Britannica [1]. The term automation itself was coined in the 1940s at the Ford Motor Company. The idea of automating processes and systems started many years earlier than this as part of the agricultural and industrial revolutions of th...

In an effort to increase a productivity of welding process and to reduce the impact to workers from industrial disaster, the research in the field of welding automation is sharply increasing in shipbuilding industry. DSME had developed and successfully applied a welding robot system for grand assembly line in OKPO shipyard in 1997 and has recently developed multi welding robot system for the su...

Why should wait for some days to get or receive the real time systems implementation of industrial computerised process automation book that you order? Why should you take it if you can get the faster one? You can find the same book that you order right here. This is it the book that you can receive directly after purchasing. This real time systems implementation of industrial computerised proc...

The servomotor is an essential element in the automation of industrial processes, and its control is necessary to achieve better performance in applications of industrial positioning. In the systems control, the knowledge of plant model through proper identification is fundamental. This work presents a methodology based on neural networks to obtain the servomotors models on industrial applicati...
