  • 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.

  • 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.
