This envisions a rapid transformation in the design, operation and service of manufacturing systems, where machines, sensors and actuators are interconnected in the factories in order to enable spontaneous collaboration, monitoring and control. Currently, Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS) use regular Internet protocols (e.g. SOAP or HTTP) to communicate with each other. However, these protocols inherently present certain drawbacks or disadvantages: large footprint, CPU usage, high memory and energy consumption, etc. In recent years, new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) protocols have emerged to solve this issue, such as the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) and MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT). These are lightweight protocols designed to face the challenges of industrial environments with a small footprint and overhead. These protocols have different features in terms of communication model and Quality of Service (QoS), that make them more suitable to an specific domain. Thus, it is important to identify the right metrics to adopt the most appropriate. This paper presents a theoretical and empirical comparison of MQTT and CoAP in terms of network overhead and latency, to assist system designers with this decision. Furthermore we describe the quantitative comparison conducted with their implementation in hardware platforms with high constraints. The achieved results provide useful metrics and guidelines to help designers to choose the appropriate schemes for their implementations.","PeriodicalId":358140,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their Application to Mechatronics (ECMSM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130815033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new concept industry 4.0 is a great opportunity to improve the competitiveness in a global market for small-medium size electric machinery companies. Therefore, it is mandatory these companies adopt new technologies offering customized products fulfilling the customers' requirements according to their investment capacity. To support the aforementioned issue, a new Knowledge-Based System (KBS) model for electrical machine design is introduced. This model socalled GSMWV2 stands for the steps of Gather, Standardized and Model the knowledge with the Wrapper process and the two Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI) methodologies integration VDI-2221 and VDI-2206. It comprises the electrical machine development methodology and the knowledge integration process. This paper will conceptually describe this model and the integration of current industrial technologies such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Project Lifecycle Management (PLM), Project Data Management (PDM), multiphysics and analytic tools co-simulation with KBS tools.

Among the most promising approaches, SIGFOX stands out as an ultra-narrow band technology that allows similar signal coverage to that of cellular networks at one thousandth of its power requirements. In this paper, we analyze a SIGFOX-based heterogeneous network architecture, based on combining an ultra-low-power star network topology for short distance communications and SIGFOX as Internet Gateway for the low-power devices. By following this approach, clusters of IIoT devices are able to communicate with a nearby SIGFOX Gateway that reports the sensed data to the Internet. Extensive experimentation and energy modeling has been performed. In particular, it is found that an IoT sensor is able to autonomously operate during remarkably long periods of time, reaching up to 4 years when operating at a duty cycle of 60 minutes and powered by a 1 Ah battery.","PeriodicalId":358140,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their Application to Mechatronics (ECMSM)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125980541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the main challenges that these techniques have to overcome is the complexity of current systems, in which more than one engineering domain is involved and many different subsystems interact. In order to facilitate the analysis of fault modes and their effects, some researches have proposed to use models as a tool to merge fault related information with structural and behavioural information. This kind of approach, also known as Model Based Analysis, pretends to develop extended models that can be shared by design and safety engineers. This paper is an example of Model Based Dependability Analysis and Fault Injection applied to a railway traction application. A Hardware-in-the-loop platform was built to inject faults in the model of the traction system and analyse the behaviour of the Traction Control Unit. As a case study, the effects of the faults in current sensors have been analysed. Phase current sensor faults were simulated and effects were identified using the platform. According to the preliminary FMEA and the experience of the technical support team, these faults are the most challenging ones in terms of detection and maintenance. The results show that a preliminary theoretical FMEA can be enhanced using the proposed model-based methodology.","PeriodicalId":358140,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their Application to Mechatronics (ECMSM)","volume":"241 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116154018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, these semiconductors are mainly based on Silicon (Si), which can be processed virtually without defects. However, the limits of Si are being reached and in consequence, Si based semiconductors have limited voltage blocking capability, limited heat transfer capability, limited efficiency and maximum junction temperature. In recent years, power semiconductor devices have been built with wide-bandgap materials such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN). The use of these materials promises to surpass the limits imposed by Si. More compact and efficient devices can be fabricated with these materials. However, in order to exploit the benefits of these devices, is necessary to know all the implications that the adoption of these new components has in the converter.

Since the derivatives require exact measurements, the possible source of errors are studied. Main method is to compare experimental results and simulation. The comparison showed that the excitation current source accuracy influences the quality of Everett surface. Also the numeric integration drift plays an important role. The random or systematic failure in excitation current results in the minor secondary loops on the main hysteresis loop. Simulations of these effects confirmed the predicitons. As practical output it was found that the errors in excitation can be reduced by repeated measurements. The drift can be eliminated, if a more suitable wavefrom is used.","PeriodicalId":358140,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their Application to Mechatronics (ECMSM)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130470976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
