  • Maintenance and Decoding of Field Buses
    MAINTENANCE AND DECODING OF FIELD BUSES Today, most of the electrical appliances that we use include internal electronics. These circuits often need to communicate via data buses, either with ancillary systems, such Maintenance as remote sensors, or with control systems. This is particularly true in industry, where a single PLC remotely manages multiple sensors and actuators. Formerly, communication with these buses took place via an analogue signal using the “4-20 mA” network. This communication mode had many disadvantages, including Measurements the need for extensive equipment and complex wiring, thus increasing the time required for installation. For this reason, digital communication standards have been developed and are now widely used to avoid these problems. “Fieldbus” is a general term which corresponds to a method of communication between different systems. There are many standards: those specific to manufacturers Analysis and those standardized according to the equipment involved. Here are a few examples of fieldbuses used in different sectors of activity: Diagnostics The example of the automotive sector The new means of intra-system communication have allowed This provides numerous advantages: developments in the systems. The most obvious example is in the • less wiring automotive industry.

Sc. (Tech.) Date 23.7.2020 Number of pages 50+8 Language English Abstract Model-based design is a relatively new technique of developing software for embedded systems. It aims to reduce the cost of the software development process by generating the code from a simulation model. The code is generated automatically using a tool that is developed for this purpose. This way the errors in the system can be found and eliminated early in the development process compared to traditional software development project for embedded systems. As mentioned, the tools are at the time of this study still relatively new, and especially when considering code that has to comply with functional safety standards, the code has to fulfill certain requirements and it has to be clear enough so that it can be traced back to each function of the model. This study aims to determine how well these methods can be used with software development for embedded systems in mind. More precisely, this thesis focuses on MathWorks’ Simulink as the modelling software, and CODESYS as the coding language of the programmable logic controller and ultimately the compatibility of these with each other.

  • Bacnet Over KNX
    BACnet over KNX Wolfgang Granzer Wolfgang Kastner Automation Systems Group Institute of Automation Vienna University of Technology Treitlstraße 1-3, A-1040 Vienna, Austria {w,k} @ auto.tuwien.ac.at The Building Automation and Control Network Protocol (BACnet) has been devel- oped to provide a solution for building automation and control systems of all sizes and types. While BACnet specifies an application model as well as different routing services, the underlying network medium is not defined. BACnet messages can, in principle, be conveyed over any network. However, a number of network types are recommended in the BACnet standard. Since KNX with all its benefits has not been considered as a network medium for BACnet, we provide an approach that uses KNX TP 1 as network medium for BACnet. Additionally, a first proof-of-concept implementation is presented in this paper. 1 Introduction In [1], a standard model for all kinds of Building Automation Systems (BAS) is described. In this model, the system functionality is divided into three levels which are ordered hierarchically. At the field level, environmental data are measured and parameters of the environment are physically controlled. Automatic control is performed at the automation level whereas global configuration and managements tasks are realized at the management level. Nowadays, the standard three level functional hierarchy model can be implemented as a flatter, two-level architecture [2]. This is for two reasons. First, so called intelligent field devices incorporate more functionality than ordinary ones. Second, information technology (IT) and its infrastructure became accepted not only at the management level, but also at the automation level.

Sneak into buildings with KNXnet/IP Claire Vacherot∗, Orange Cyberdefense, 2020 Abstract. Building Management Systems (BMS) centralize and automate essential assets in a building. They are often linked to the LAN and sometimes reachable on the Internet, exposing building automation devices and network protocols that are usually not designed to handle cybersecurity issues. The paper focuses on the BMS protocol KNX, which has been left aside by the cybersecurity community so far. We discuss its technical details and the cybersecurity concerns raised by implementations. We provide a Python library to perform basic KNX discovery, communication operations and to write advanced testing scripts. We explain how to use it through fuzzing script examples. We hope that this library will be used to find and fix vulnerabilities in building management systems and as a handy tool for other research material on BMS protocols.

Unfortunately, smart homes today are far from this vision – people who already live in such a home struggle with complicated user interfaces, inflexible home configurations, and difficult installation procedures. Under these circumstances, smart homes are not ready for mass adoption. This dissertation addresses these issues by proposing two smart assistants for smart homes. The first assistant is a recommender system that suggests useful services (i.e actions that the home can perform for the user). The recommended services are fitted to the user’s current situation, habits, and preferences. With these recommendations it is possible to build much simpler user interfaces that highlight the most interesting choices currently available. Configuration becomes much more flexible: since the recommender system automatically learns user habits, user routines no longer have to be manually described. Evaluations with two smart home datasets show that the correct service is included in the top five recommendations in 90% of all cases.
