Consequently is designed example device, simple operational panel. The panel communicates through ethernet interface using Modbus TCP protocol with connected PLCs on separate network. Its meet function of webserver, HID and also source of real time.

HMS Networks AB develops, produces and sells communication technology for industrial automation. The product handles communication between a variety of protocols. The product treated in this project is an Anybus X-gateway Modbus-TCP Master/Client and this module is currently configured from a web-based interface. In doing so, the flexibility for handling protocols is limited to what the company chooses to add to the interface. Therefore the company had a request that the flexibility should be extended using a script language. The project has mainly consisted of two parts. The first part deals with the implementation of the script language Lua and the second part is about measurement and evaluation of the time required for the script. A prototype was developed with an operational implementation and successful results for data transmission. Although it was a successful project some optimizations are required if this solution is to replace the existing one, because script languages are not as fast as C. Some knowledge in programming and network is required to obtain an adequate understanding of the report.

The master´s thesis describes the initial design of communication module for industrial automation purposes which can transmit short status messages via the GSM network informing about the status of the connected device to a predefined telephone number. In the first part, the communication protocols are describe and a market survey is carried out. Then follows the evaluation of the market survey and the justification of construction of the device. The following chapters are devoted to the description of the device being developed, its individual components and program description and testing prototype.

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.

The main objective of this work is to inform the reader of the communication protocols Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU and create an embedded device based on the microprocessor STM32 capable of conversion between Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols. The device should be capable of simple first run configuration with simple user interface.

The transition from fossil fuel-based energy sources involves exploring different sources of energy that can be reliably integrated into the power grid. One such existing resource is the CHPs, which are distributed throughout the US electric grid. The integration of the CHPs into the grid requires technological innovations. One idea is to design an F-CHP converter that would facilitate the CHPs to interconnect seamlessly with the electrical grid. This thesis presents the development and testing of different components of a testbed that would facilitate the testing of the F-CHP converter. It also presents the integration of a PMU and a communication interface for the F-CHP converter. The phasor estimation of the F-CHP PMU has been compared with a commercial PMU and its performance has been validated. / Master of Science / The transition from fossil fuel based energy sources involves exploring different sources of energy that can reliably integrated into the power grid.

The tool was developed in Python programming language, as a Scapy extension. This tool, named IndPM- Industrial Packet Manipulator, can realize vulnerability tests in devices of industrial networks, industrial protocol compliance tests, receive server replies and utilize the Python interpreter to build tests. The Modbus/TCP protocol was implemented as proof-of-concept. The DNP3 over TCP protocol was also implemented but tests could not be realized because of the lack of resources. The IndPM results with Modbus/TCP protocol show some implementation faults in a Programmable Logic Controller communication module frequently utilized in automation companies / Neste trabalho ? apresentada uma ferramenta de manipula??o de pacotes destinada ? realiza??o de testes em dispositivos que implementam protocolos de comunica??o baseados em TCP/IP utilizados em redes industriais.

This diploma project summarizes a theoretical introduction regarding the issue of traffic light control. Further there is industrial communication discussed, where they are the Ethernet / IP protocol and the Modbus TCP protocol described more in detail. The following is the description of the Logix series programmable controllers. Then the diploma follows up with market research in order to find the most suitable development kit which is used as a trial prototype. Then it is concerned with a development kit with a communication module from AND-TECH company. Software was developed on them, more specifically a library for processor ports, memory and the Modbus TCP protocol. After verifying the functionality of the software, the hardware design was started. From the first site it is development kit and module and from the second site there are input and output circuits. There must be the assessment of the results found during the test operation. The end of the document describes incorrect steps that were repaired in hardware.

This Master`s thesis concern with problematic of connection analog sensors with voltage output 0-10V to a ethernet communication network. Due to a quick evolution and an application ethernet nets to industry and building technologies is possible to use this solution for connection remote diagnostics and setting of existing analog sensors without bus communication interfaces on instrumentation level of field bus networks. The converter is based on Rabbit module, which can be used like webserver for setting, calibration and data recording. For purpose of wide converter use the data output will be purvey on ethernet interface by Modbus TCP and on asynchronous serial interface RS232.

Ce mémoire de thèse propose une approche pour l'obtention des bornes des performances temporelles d'une Architecture d'Automatisation en Réseau par preuves itératives de propriétés d'atteignabilité sur un modèle formel de l'architecture. Ces propriétés d'atteignabilité sont définies grâce à un automate observateur temporisé et paramétré, dont les gardes de certaines transitions sont fonction d'un paramètre temporel. A chaque itération, les résultats de preuves permettent de déterminer la valeur de ce paramètre pour la prochaine itération ; un algorithme de recherche par dichotomie assure la convergence des itérations. La mise en œuvre de cette approche sur des architectures de taille non triviale a nécessité le développement d'une méthode d'abstraction qui comporte deux étapes : simplification de la structure et modification des modèles formels des composants figurant dans la structure simplifiée, ceci afin de prendre en compte les phénomènes de concurrence entre requêtes émises par différents composants. Ces contributions formelles et méthodologiques ont été validées expérimentalement par le traitement de plusieurs cas de taille et complexité croissantes, basés sur le protocole Modbus TCP/IP.
