The evolution of the industry, known as industry 4.0, has introduced new technologies such as Virtual Commissioning and Industrial Internet of things. Nowadays, virtual models of automated systems are being created in order to be tested while being built in real life, what includes PLC programs, robots, etc. In order to provide a real behaviour emulation, these virtual models should be as similar to reality as possible. Currently, the components communication in a real system is done through Internet with the use of fieldbuses I/O modules. Right now, these modules are not integrated in the virtual model, as the PLC program returns an error due to the hardware not being found. This implies that the PLC project must be modified, and a workaround must be done in order to connect the I/O cards components of the modules. Furthermore, it means that two PLC projects need to be maintained at the same time, one for the real system and another for the virtual system. In this thesis, a research was done to prove if fieldbuses modules could be emulated, helping to improve Virtual Commissioning. The final goal is to allow a PLC project created for a real system to be run again the corresponding virtual model without any change. To achieve this, a driver able to emulate the communication behaviour of an Ethernet/IP fieldbus module is developed and tested against a real PLC program.

In the industry there is a need for a more efficient way to troubleshoot machines that uses the protocol EtherNet/IP. The current methods is time consuming and complex. This project gather data from a simulated network and analyze the data. The result of the analyze is presented on a cellphone application with a description and a possible solution. The application is a cross-platform application developed with Cordova. The simulated network is created on a Raspberry Pi 2. The analyze is done on another Raspberry Pi 2 running the software Node-RED. Communication between the simulated network Raspberry and the cellphone is with Bluetooth Low Energy. Communication between cellphone and the server is with MQTT. There are several areas where this kind of application may suit. This project is in one specific area – troubleshooting EtherNet/IP.

This diploma thesis is focused on the analysis of the most well-known industrial protocols and acquaintance with the Dobot Magician robotic arm. The main goal of this thesis is to create an industrial loop, which consists of communication – client and server. The individual components of the industrial loop consist of three robotic arms (including peripherals), their control units (in our case Raspberry PI 3B +), switch, and a server. The control units communicate with the server using two selected industrial protocols, namely Modbus TCP and EtherNET/IP. The result of the work is an endless loop, which tries to resemble the real operation of the assembly and disassembly of the box equipped with dierent items.

Unit testing is a fundamental practice in software development and the goal is to create a test suite that tests the robustness of the software. It is challenging to create a test suite that covers every possible input to a system which can lead to security flaws not being detected. Fuzz testing is a technique that creates randomly generated, or fuzzy, input with the goal to uncover these areas of the input space potentially missed by the unit test suite.  EtherNet/IP is an industrial communications protocol built on top of the TCP/IP suite. HMS Anybus develops hardware to use in secure networks in industrial settings utilizing the EtherNet/IP protocol.  This report outlines the development of a Scapy-based fuzz testing tool capable of testing the implementation of the protocol on HMS devices. Additionally we propose a strategy for how the tool can be deployed in future testing. The resulting fuzz testing tool is capable of creating packets containing selected commands’ encapsulation headers and layering them with command specific data fields. These packets can be filled with static or fuzzy input depending on user configuration. The tool is implemented with the intention of providing HMS the capability for conducting fuzz testing. The report mentions multiple improvements that can be made using A.I. assisted generation of test cases and how the tool can be scaled in the future. This thesis project is a proof of concept that using Scapy to create a fuzz testing tool tailored to the EtherNet/IP protocol is possible.

Detta arbete har syftat till att ställa två av de större automationstillverkarna Siemens och Rockwell Automation mot varandra kring utvalda faktorer som: prestanda, kommunikation och tillgängliga mjukvaruverktyg. Studien har utformat tester på olika PLC-enheter från respektive tillverkare, redogjort för skillnader i de erbjudna kommunikationslösningarna samt analyserat mjukvaruverktygen utifrån utvalda egenskaper men också internationellt erkända standarder. Undersökningen har visat på bättre prestanda på processorer från Rockwell Automation än motsvarande från Siemens för ett givet tillämpningsområde. Vad befattar kommunikationslösningar med ethernet-teknologi har Siemens visat på bättre prestanda, stabilare kommunikation och ett mer komplett ekosystem som svarar på flera av de behov som kan uppstå i industriverksamhet. Mjukvaruverktygen från Siemens erbjuder mer objekt-orienterad funktionalitet och har visat sig betydligt mer kompatibel med den väletablerade standarden IEC 61131-3 som utformar programmeringsmetodiker för PLC-enheter och är tänkt att svara mot framtidens behov av interoperabilitet och effektivisering. Av resultaten som fåtts har en bedömning gjorts att Siemens erbjuder ett mer fördelaktigt utbud av produkter och tjänster som svarar väl mot framtidens krav. / This paper treats two competing suppliers of automation technology, Siemens and Rockwell Automation and directly compares them for a given set of factors in the following categories: performance, communication and software tools. The study consists of performance tests made on different PLC’s from these suppliers, considerations in the differences of communication technology and analysis of the programming tools according to chosen criteria’s but also by the degree of compliance with internationally established standards. The tests have shown the PLC from Rockwell Automation as having better performance for the chosen criteria (PLC’s for small to medium sized machines). Siemens offers more performance and more stable industrial ethernet communication over ProfiNET than does Rockwell Automation with EtherNet/IP. Accordingly, Siemens offers more flexibility in meeting future industrial needs. The software tools provided by Siemens offer a more object-oriented approach for programming PLC’s than equivalent tools from Rockwell Automation. TIA Portal offered by Siemens is more than twice as compliant with the internationally accepted standard IEC 61131-3 as Studio 5000 from Rockwell and in being more compliant benefits from increased interoperability and effective programming. The results show that Siemens’ products and services for automation benefits the customer in long term viability.
