Industrial Communication Protocol Segregation

Mengapa ada banyak sekali protokol komunikasi data di dunia ini?

Mungking ini pertanyaan yang sering terpikirkan dibanyak benak orang banyak selama ini. apa saja Industrial protocol yang ada? sangat-sangat banyak… karena setiap brand device mengusung protocolnya masing-masing dan dengan keunggulannya masing-masing. bisa di cek di Driver List protocol Machine SCADA Expert bayangkan disini saja ada 200driver.

tapi, dari kesemua protokol, ada beberapa Industrial protokol (yang digunakan untuk Control System) yang sangat-sangat common atau populer di segment nya masing-masing yang digunakan banyak brand. apa saja?

Modbus, Profibus, Modbus TCP, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, DeviceNET, DNP3, IEC61850, BAC, BACNET, IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104, EtherCAT, LonWorks, CANOpen, HART.

Cara Mendeteksi Alarm First Out – Control Expert – Unity Pro

pada suatu program PLC yang banyak sekali membaca alarm dan interlock, kadang kita dipusingkan ketika terjadinya suatu kejadian dimana alarmnya sudah aktif semua. sedangkan kita butuh tau alarm mana yang menjadi pemicu awalnya. kadang alarm di software SCADA pun delay dan muncul secara bersamaan, hal ini dikarenakan software SCADA membutuhkan waktu sekian ratus millisecond untuk mengambil data dari PLC. sedangkan bisa jadi kejadian antar alarm yang terjadi kurang dari 100ms.

lalu bagaimana caranya?

Baca INT 64 bit di SCADA?

seperti kita ketahui, kebanyakan SCADA belum support tipe data Integer 64 bit (max value: 9,223,372,036,854,775,807), lalu gimana kalau kita mau baca dari device yang menyediakan data ini? contohnya pada power meter Schneider untuk data KWH

berikut trik nya:

  1. Siapkan 1 variable Real / floating 32bit – sebagai contoh kita kasih nama Energy)
  2. Siapkan 4 variable INT (16bit) dimana nilai tersebut  didapat dari register modbus PM yaitu 43204, 43205, 43206, 43207) – sebagai contoh kita kasih nama RAW_1 dan RAW_2, RAW_3, dan RAW_4

Energy = (raw_4 * 281474976710656) + (raw_3 * 4294967296) + (raw_2 *  65536) + raw_1

Modbus-IoT (Modbus over MQTT)

Modbus?? old school protocol (more than 40th years).

when Modbus created, it was created for Serial communication via RS485. after year by year, technology was changing and ethernet / TCP widely used in PLC and industrial control system, then Modbus move their medium to Ethernet and wrap their message in TCP (encapsulated) over ethernet.

Now, when everything going to the cloud or  RTU/PLC are not in the same place with SCADA and it only have internet connection, it will be hard and expensive for Modbus to keep exist in Internet area. because we need at least public IP for each device, or creating VPN.

but with MQTT the message can be send over the broker (on the cloud), so it will be exiting if modbus can be sent through MQTT.

if you’ve heard about Node-red this is cool IoT tools/platform built in NodeJS.

I’m using Node-red to make it’s encapsulation, and Modscan as Modbus Master (or SCADA), and Modsim as Modbus Slave (or  PLC)

Industry 4.0: Era baru Industrial Automation

IIoT – Evolution of Industry


Pada awal tahun 2018 tepatnya bulan January, saya sempat diminta untuk mengisi sebuah Acara seminar skala ASEAN di ITB, dengan topic utama Industry 4.0 atau Industrial Revolution generasi 4. seperti yang di cuplik beberapa media dan web resmi ITB:

Pada sesi tersebut, saya menjelaskan beberapa hal mengenai sesuatu yang mendorong terjadinya digitalisasi di dalam Industri dan hal apa saja yang perlu diperhatikan dalam Industry 4.0 ini. slide-slide saya dibawah kebanyakan saya ambil dari Slide yang ada dari Schneider Electric sebagai perusahaan yang sangat aktif dalam melakukan update teknologi pada semua lini produknya.

hal hal yang mendorong terjadinya Digitalisasi Industri atau lebih umumnya dikenal dengan Industrial Automation:

  • Connectivity, ketika semua device saling terhubung dan merupakan sebuah kebutuhan baru
  • Mobility, dimana seseorang tidak berdiam disatu tempat untuk satu keperluan, namun cenderung mengerjakan banyak hal dibanyak tempat
  • Cloud, tersedianya Teknologi awan (cloud) dimana saat ini sudah menjadi solusi murah untuk memiliki server data yang cerdas tanpa harus memilikinya secara fisik.
  • kebutuhan Analisis dari software yang menyerupai analisa dari manusia, dimana kebutuhan ini dapat diselesaikan dengan Artificial Intelligent yang ditanamkan di software.

Pada poin ini saya menjelaskan bagaimana keadaan teknologi yang tersedia di dalam Control Sytem di area Industri. dimana teknologi Ethernet sudah mendominasi konektifitas dari semua device

Faulty Measurement Analysis


Faulty Measurment
– atau Error in Measurement – Kesalahan Pengukuran

Adalah sebuah kesalahan dalam pengukuran dalam alat ukur (yang telah terkalibrasi) akibat faktor eksternal atau internal dari alat ukur itu sendiri. (yang kali ini akan dibahas untuk faktor eksternal, terutama pada power quality  input)

Penyebab kesalahan pengukuran  dapat terjadi dari berbagai sebab yaitu:

Internal :

  1. Nilai yang diukur diluar jangkauan alat (Out of range)
  2. Batasan alat (Device Limitation) misal: Input Voltage, Environment Temperature (Suhu Lingkungan), Humidity, dll
  3. Instrument Error (Alat ukur error/rusak)

External (Electricity):

  1. Noise Input Voltage (Spike Voltage)
  2. Harmonik
  3. Unstable Voltage
  4. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) atau juga biasa disebut RFI (Radio Frequency Interference)

Pengklasifikasian tesebut (Internal dan Eksternal) merupakan klasifikasi berdasarkan input (Rifqi Imanto,2011)

Sedangkan berdasarkan paper “Error in Measurement” oleh Sunil Kumar Singh,2007 kesalahan pengukuran diklasifikasikan ditinjau dari output measurement sebagai Systematic Error dan Random Error. Dimana Systematic Error berelasi dengan Akurasi sedangkan Random Error berelasi dengan Presisi.
Systematic Error: Instrument Error, Procedural Error
Random Error: Least count error, Mean value error READ MORE

Modbus Exception Codes

Modbus Exception Codes adalah  sebuah reply dari slave ketika kita mengQuery ke slave.

susunan Frame nya sebagai berikut:

[Slave Address] [Function Code Exception] [Error Code] [CRC1] [CRC2]

 

Function Code Exception:

merupakan “exception code” dari “function code” yang kita query kan ke Slave
contoh:

ketika kita merequest Funtion code 03 (Read Holding Register) maka exception code-nya adalah 83

ketika kita merequest Funtion code 06 (Write Multiple Register) maka exception code-nya adalah 86

Berikut adalah tabelnya:

Function Code in Request

Function Code in Exception Response

01 (01 hex) 0000 0001

129 (81 hex) 1000 0001

02 (02 hex) 0000 0010

130 (82 hex) 1000 0010

03 (03 hex) 0000 0011 131 (83 hex) 1000 0011

04 (04 hex) 0000 0100

16 (10 hex) 0001 0000 144 (90 hex) 1001 0000

Error Code:

merupakan pesan error yang ingin disampaikan oleh slave terdiri seperti pada tabel dibawah:

Code Name Description
01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION The function code received in the query is not an allowable action for the slave
02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS The data address received in the query is not an allowable address fror the slave
03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE A value contained in the query data field in not an allowabel value for the slave.
04 SLAVE DEVICE FAILURE An unrecoverable error occurred while the savel was attempting to execute the requested action
05 ACKNOWLEDGE The slave has accpeted the request and is processing it, but a long duration of time is required to do so.
06 SLAVE DEVICE BUSY The slave is engaged in a long duration command.
07 NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The slave cannot perform the program function received I the query
08 MEMORY PARITY ERROR The slave attempted to read extended memory, but detected a a parity error on the memory

Atau yang lebih lengkap:

Exception Code

Name

Meaning

01
(01 hex)

Illegal
Function

The function code received in the query is not an allowable action for the slave. This may be because the function code is only applicable to newer devices, and was not implemented in the unit selected. It could also indicate that the slave is in the wrong state to process a request of this type, for example because it is unconfigured and is being asked to return register values. If a Poll Program Complete command was issued, this code indicates that no program function preceded it.

02
(02 hex)

Illegal Data Address

The data address received in the query is not an allowable address for the slave. More specifically, the combination of reference number and transfer length is invalid. For a controller with 100 registers, a request with offset 96 and length 4 would succeed, a request with offset 96 and length 5 will generate exception 02.

03
(03 hex)
Illegal Data Value A value contained in the query data field is not an allowable value for the slave. This indicates a fault in the structure of remainder of a complex request, such as that the implied length is incorrect. It specifically does NOT mean that a data item submitted for storage in a register has a value outside the expectation of the application program, since the MODBUS protocol is unaware of the significance of any particular value of any particular register.

04
(04 hex)

Slave Device Failure

An unrecoverable error occurred while the slave was attempting to perform the requested action.
05
(05 hex)
Acknowledge Specialized use in conjunction with programming commands.
The slave has accepted the request and is processing it, but a long duration of time will be required to do so. This response is returned to prevent a timeout error from occurring in the master. The master can next issue a Poll Program Complete message to determine if processing is completed.
06
(06 hex)
Slave Device Busy Specialized use in conjunction with programming commands.
The slave is engaged in processing a long-duration program command. The master should retransmit the message later when the slave is free..
07
(07 hex)
Negative Acknowledge The slave cannot perform the program function received in the query. This code is returned for an unsuccessful programming request using function code 13 or 14 decimal. The master should request diagnostic or error information from the slave.
08
(08 hex)
Memory Parity Error Specialized use in conjunction with function codes 20 and 21 and reference type 6, to indicate that the extended file area failed to pass a consistency check.
The slave attempted to read extended memory or record file, but detected a parity error in memory. The master can retry the request, but service may be required on the slave device.
10
(0A hex)
Gateway Path Unavailable Specialized use in conjunction with gateways, indicates that the gateway was unable to allocate an internal communication path from the input port to the output port for processing the request. Usually means the gateway is misconfigured or overloaded.
11
(0B hex)
Gateway Target Device Failed to Respond Specialized use in conjunction with gateways, indicates that no response was obtained from the target device. Usually means that the device is not present on the network.
