Simple solutions work best where the technology can be proven quickly and the benefits easily understood. There are many challenges in the successful adoption of machine-to-machine (M2M) technology. M2M is a modern term associated with the automated connectivity of remote machines with central management IT systems. Whilst IT systems conform to open standards that ease interoperability this is largely not the case when communicating with machines. In this article we provide an understanding of M2M, discuss the fundamental issues, and propose a strategic approach from early development to successful deployment of a resilient M2M solution.","PeriodicalId":401124,"journal":{"name":"Computing & Control Engineering Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125720886","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}

While Ethernet offers adequate performance for general purpose applications that use distributed control, it is generally too slow for more demanding situations. In these cases a fast synchronous network is required to connect a centralised motion processor to multiple servo axes. SynqNet was designed specifically to support high performance centralised control systems, and offers additional benefits including self-healing fault tolerance operation, simple discovery-based configuration, and high noise immunity. It is supported by multiple drive vendors delivering a wide array of cost competitive products.","PeriodicalId":401124,"journal":{"name":"Computing & Control Engineering Journal","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132810605","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 industry consortium formed at that time designed an open interface to convert analogue drive technology to digital. The first generation of the SERCOS supported transfer rates of 2 and 4 Mbit/s and at first was primarily used for demanding machine tool applications. In 1995, it was accepted as IEC 61491. The second generation of the SERCOS followed in 1999. The transfer rate was increased to 8 and 16 Mbit/s and the service channel, used for the transfer of asynchronous data, was expanded. The SERCOS interface has revolutionised whole machine-building industries. Though its original concept was simply as a drive interface, today the SERCOS interface is known as a universal \"motion control\" interface. The SERCOS interface not only defines a real-time communication system, it specifies over 400 standardised parameters that describe the collaboration of controls and drives with semantics that cover any manufacturer's products. The SERCOS interest group will combine SERCOS interface mechanisms with the advantages of Ethernet structure.","PeriodicalId":401124,"journal":{"name":"Computing & Control Engineering Journal","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127276908","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}

Controllers are then designed or tuned for the PID controller so that the desired closed-loop response is achieved. If one wished to explore a range of performance criteria, a new solution would be needed. A tool that could, using visualisation technology, provide a range of solutions under differing criteria would have value in providing the user a convenient way of exploring multiple solutions. We present a method performance map (PM), designed to visualize the behaviour of a systems dynamic performance across variations in system parameters. The resulting visualization is colour-coded, providing an immediate wealth of information to the knowledgeable viewer.","PeriodicalId":401124,"journal":{"name":"Computing & Control Engineering Journal","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128328419","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}
