Chapter 1, at first introduces the reader into this type of systems. Next, the structure, applications and problems associated with the wireless sensor networks, which are among the most typical and widely used examples of wirelessly connected systems are described. In accordance to the aforementioned challenges that the utilization of WSNs faces, a research work has been performed in the context of this doctoral thesis which is organized as follows: In Chapter 2, the issue of energy conservation is approached in WSNs through the energy efficient control of routing. For this reason a novel reactive hierarchical protocol, named SHPER, for energy efficient data routing in WSNs, is proposed. The efficacy of the proposed scheme is examined through extensive simulation tests. Chapter 3 focuses at video communication over WSNs and examines the combined fulfillment of contradictory requirements such as the severe limitations concerning both the available energy resources and bandwidth and the call for high QoS. For this reason, PEMuR, a novel dual control scheme for efficient video communication, which aims at the attainment of both considerable energy saving and high QoS was introduced. Both the energy efficiency and the Qos efficiency of this dual scheme is evaluated through thorough simulations. Chapter 4 examines the transmission of image data over WSNs and introduces a novel QoS control scheme for the sequential transmission over Wireless Sensor Networks of slowly varying images. This scheme aims to adaptively adjust the compression of wirelessly transmitted images in order to conform to predefined upper bounds of the end-to-end image transmission time, while achieving the highest QoS. The effectiveness of the proposed QoS control algorithm is investigated through extended experiments with and without the occurrence of network congestion. Chapter 5 tries to correlate the occurrence of congestion in WSNs with the existence of specific variable and invariant factors and proposes a novel control scheme named PACA, which aims to both predict forthcoming congestion and prevent its further diffusion. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is examined through extensive simulation tests. Finally, in Chapter 6, the research work performed within the context of this doctoral thesis is summarized. Additionally, the scientific contribution achieved is outlined. Moreover, the conclusions drawn from the research results are presented along with some relevant topics of future research.

A framework and criteria for the operability of unmanned aircraft systems

Maneschijn, Anton 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / Dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering at Stellenbosch University. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Airworthiness certification of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) is normally considered to be a regulatory function. In the absence of comprehensive UAS airworthiness regulations, the development of new and unique UAS, and their introduction into non-segregated airspace, remain major challenges for the UAS industry and regulators. Thus, in response, the objective of this research was to establish a framework and guidelines, within the scope of the typical regulatory regime, that can be used by the UAS engineering domain to ensure the safe and reliable functioning of a UAS, whether regulated or not. UAS airworthiness is currently mainly based on manned aircraft regulations, and the focus is on the unmanned aircraft and the 'airworthiness' of the remote control station. The typical UAS as a system, however, consists of more than just these elements and a broader approach to the 'airworthiness' of a UAS is required. This study investigated and introduces the concept of UAS operability, where the term 'operability' addresses the safe and reliable functioning of the UAS as a system, the airworthiness of its airborne sub-systems, and the safe and reliable functioning of its non-airborne subsystems and functional payloads. To ensure that the results of this study are aligned with typical aviation regulatory systems, a regulatory basis was defined within which UAS operability guidelines could be developed. Based on the operability concept, and in the scope of the regulatory basis, a UAS operability framework was developed for the UAS engineering domain. This framework is an index and reference source from which appropriate operability elements can be selected for a particular UAS. The scope of the framework is generic, rather than UAS-type or -class specific, and includes operability elements for the UAS as a system, for its airborne and non-airborne sub-systems, and for its payloads. The framework was validated by developing lower hierarchical levels for the framework and by populating each operability element of the framework with appropriate engineering guidance criteria. The guidance criteria were derived and/or developed from industry 'best practices' found in the literature, or were newly developed where no existing practices were found. The significance of this study is found in its establishing of a generic UAS operability framework that not only focuses on the airworthiness of the unmanned aircraft, but addresses the operability of the UAS as a system, as well as the operability of its airborne sub-systems, its non-airborne sub-systems and its payloads. In practice, the UAS operability framework can be used in the UAS engineering domain as an index and reference source to select relevant operability elements for a particular UAS. The guidance criteria for the selected elements can subsequently be used to develop the appropriate processes, procedures, requirements and specifications to achieve initial operability of the UAS, and to maintain its continued operability. Although the objective of the research was achieved, the UAS operability framework must still be applied and tested in real-life UAS projects and, where necessary, revised to eliminate shortcomings and to provide for new and novel developments in UAS engineering technologies. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die lugwaardigheidsertifisering van onbemande vliegtuigstelsels (OVS) word normaalweg beskou as 'n reguleringsfunksie. In die afwesigheid van omvattende OVS lugwaardigheidsregulasies bly die ontwikkeling van nuwe en unieke OVS, en die inbedryfstelling daarvan in onafgesonderde lugruim, besonderse uitdagings vir beide die OVS nywerheid en reguleerders. Die doelwit van hierdie navorsing was dus om riglyne binne die bestek van die tipiese reguleringsregime te vestig wat deur die OVS ingenieursdomein benut kan word om die veilige en betroubare funksionering van 'n OVS te verseker, of dit gereguleer word aldan nie. OVS lugwaardigheid word tans hoofsaaklik gebaseer op lugwaardigheidsvereistes vir bemande vliegtuie. Die fokus is dan ook meerendeels op die onbemande vliegtuig en die 'lugwaardigheid' van die afstandbeheerstasie. Die tipiese OVS bestaan egter uit meer sub-stelsels en 'n weier beskouing van die 'lugwaardigheid' van 'n OVS is nodig. Die konsep van OVS bedryfbaarheid is in hierdie studie ondersoek en voorgestel. 'Bedryfbaarheid' beteken in hierdie konteks die veilige en betroubare funksionering van die OVS as 'n stelsel, die lugwaardigheid van die lug sub-stelsels, die veilige en betroubare funksionering van die nie-lug sub-stelsels, asook die veilige en betroubare funksionering van funksionele loonvragte. Om te verseker dat die resultate van hierdie studie versoenbaar is met tipiese lugvaart reguleringstelsels, is 'n reguleringsbasis omskryf vir die ontwikkeling van OVS bedryfbaarheidsriglyne. Gebaseer op die bedryfbaarheidskonsep, en binne die riglyne van die reguleringsbasis, is 'n OVS bedryfbaarheidsraamwerk ontwikkel vir die OVS ingenieursdomein. Die raamwerk is 'n indeks en verwysingsbron waaruit gepaste bedryfbaarheids-elemente gekies kan word vir 'n bepaalde OVS. Die bestek van die raamwerk is generies en nie beperk tot spesifieke OVS tipes of klasse nie. Die raamwerk sluit bedryfbaarheidselemente in vir die OVS as stelsel, asook vir die lug en nie-lug sub-stelsels van die OVS, en vir die loonvragte van die OVS. Die raamwerk se geldigheid was bevestig deur die struktuur van die raamwerk tot laer vlakke uit te brei en gepaste ingenieursriglyne vir elke bedryfbaarheids-element in die raamwerk te ontwikkel. Die riglyne was gebaseer op 'beste praktyke' soos beskryf in die literatuur, of was van nuuts af ontwikkel waar geen bestaande praktyke gevind kon word nie. Die bydrae van hierdie studie is gesetel in die vestiging van 'n generiese OVS bedryfbaarheidsraamwerk wat nie net gemik is op die lugwaardigheid van die onbemande vliegtuig nie, maar wat die bedryfbaarheid in geheel van die OVS as stelsel aanspreek, asook die bedryfbaarheid van die OVS se lug sub-stelsels, nie-lug sub-stelsels en loonvragte. In die praktyk kan die raamwerk in die OVS ingenieursdomein gebruik word om gepaste bedryfbaarheids-elemente vir 'n OVS te kies. Daarna kan die bedryfbaarheidsriglyne gebruik word om gepaste prosesse, prosedures, vereistes en spesifikasies te ontwikkel om die OVS se aanvanklike en voortgesette bedryfbaarheid te bewerkstellig. Alhoewel die doelwit vir die navorsing bereik is, moet die OVS bedryfbaarheidsraamwerk nog op werklike OVS projekte getoets word. Waar nodig, moet die raamwerk dan hersien word om tekortkominge, asook nuwe en unieke ontwikkelinge in OVS ingenieurstegnologie, aan te spreek.

Mitsubishi control system / Mitsubishi styrsystem

Andersson, Richard, Björnholm, Kim January 2007 (has links)
Detta examensprojekt har gjorts i samarbete med Ageratec i Norrköping. Företaget arbetar med att ta fram processutrustning för att skapa biodiesel. Syftet med examensprojektet har varit att sätta sig in i Mitsubishis PLC FX3U samt operatörsterminalen E-1071 med tillhörande programvaror GX IEC Developer och EDesigner. Utgående från detta har en nybörjarmanual för programmeringsverktyget GX IEC Developer tagits fram. Denna manual kan de nyanställda på företaget Ageratec, samt studenter på Linköpings universitet, använda sig av för att lära sig grunderna i verktyget. En annan del i detta arbete var att göra en reglering av en vattentankprocess. Det har gjorts med en PLC. Den PLC som har använts är FX3U från japanska Mitsubishi Electrics. För att kunna styra processen används en operatörsterminal. Examensprojektet har varit väldigt lärorikt tack vare skrivandet av en nybörjarmanual då man måste sätta sig väl in i de funktioner som finns i programmet. Arbetet med vattentankprocessen har även det gett in stor inblick i hur ett komplett styrsystem kan användas, vilket kommer att vara till stor användning i en framtida yrkesroll.
