Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fieldbus system for controlling safety-critical processes, with a transmission medium and with a multiplicity of bus subscribers which are connected to the transmission medium, the bus subscribers being able to send bust telegrams for communication with one another via the transmission medium, furthermore with a defined communication protocol, the rules for sending and receiving bus telegrams.
  • the invention further relates to a bus interface module for use in such a fieldbus system, with an interface for connection to a transmission medium and with a communication unit in which a communication protocol is implemented.
  • Such a fieldbus system and a corresponding bus interface module are known, for example, from the article "From Safe Control to Safe Bus", published in DE magazine pa 4-1999.
  • a fieldbus system is a device for data communication in which the individual bus users are connected to a common transmission medium.
  • the bus participants can communicate with each other by accessing the common transmission medium according to defined rules. Messages are sent between the bus participants in the form of so-called bus telegrams. The sum of the defined rules, for example the assignment of priorities to avoid transmission conflicts or the type of addressing of bus messages, is reflected in the defined communication protocol.
  • Each bus participant has a bus interface module in which the rules required to carry out the communication are implemented.
  • Known fieldbus systems are the so-called CAN bus, the so-called Profibus and the so-called Interbus.
  • fieldbus systems Due to the common transmission medium, fieldbus systems have the advantage that a large number of bus users can be connected to one another with a comparatively low cabling effort. This saves time and money when installation and also enables flexible adaptation of the installation to new requirements.
  • a fieldbus system which, in contrast to the generally known fieldbus systems just mentioned, can be used to control safety-critical processes.
  • this is understood to mean a process which, if an error occurs, poses an unacceptable danger to people or material goods. Examples of such processes are the evaluation or monitoring of emergency stop switches, two-hand controls, protective doors or light barriers.
  • the systems and devices used to control such processes require special approval from the relevant supervisory authorities in numerous countries. The criteria for approval are, for example, the European standard EN 954-1 or the German standard DIN 19 250. Devices and systems that meet at least Category 3 of the European standard EN 954-1 are referred to below as "safe".
  • the fieldbus system known from the aforementioned DE magazine even meets the requirements of the highest safety category 4 of the European standard EN 954-1. It is therefore approved for controlling practically all safety-critical processes.
  • the system has the advantage that a large number of safe devices, for example a safe control unit, safe input / output devices and light barriers, can be connected to form a complex, safe control system with a limited amount of wiring.
  • a certain amount of cabling remains, however, because the known system made of green only the specially routed, line-bound transmission media, ie electrical and / or optical cables, are used for fault safety.
  • the known safe fieldbus system is therefore based on a self-contained communication channel to which only the registered safe bus users have access.
  • the transmission medium has an open communication channel and in that the communication protocol contains an individual system identifier which is connected at least to each bus telegram sent via the open communication channel.
  • a bus interface module of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the interface is an open communication interface and in which the implemented communication protocol contains an individual system identifier which is connected to a bus telegram to be sent.
  • the fieldbus system contains an open (non-closed) communication channel as the transmission medium is also accessible to communication participants of other communication connections.
  • this can be an existing, standardized line connection, such as an Ethernet connection of an existing computer network, or a radio connection.
  • the transmission medium contains a radio channel, in the former case an (existing) Ethernet connection.
  • the fieldbus system according to the invention thus for the first time and against all previous approaches abandons the fundamental principle in the field of safety technology that a safe system must be self-contained in order to reliably prevent external influences and thus ensure the required intrinsic safety.
  • the inventor recognized that the required intrinsic safety can also be achieved with an inherently unsafe, because open, transmission medium by implementing an individual system identifier in the communication protocol and thus creating a "virtual" isolation.
  • the individual system identifier uniquely identifies the fieldbus system as a whole compared to other fieldbus systems of the same type.
  • the system identifier can be set individually, so that two different fieldbus systems can be assigned different individual system identifiers.
  • the individual system identifier is clearly and permanently assigned to a defined fieldbus system as a whole, so that the bus telegrams belonging to this fieldbus system can be reliably distinguished from those of any other communication connection. This prevents confusion of bust frames even between fieldbus systems of the same type.
  • the fieldbus system according to the invention is consequently despite the use of the open and therefore unsafe ren transmission medium a secure system that is "isolated" from foreign bus telegrams.
  • the fieldbus system according to the invention can use existing, even otherwise used line connections or even wireless radio connections and thus provide the same high level of error security as the fieldbus system mentioned at the beginning, with an extremely low cabling effort. Like this, it can therefore be used as a safe fieldbus system for controlling safety-critical processes.
  • the bus interface module contains both the interface required for communication via the open (standard) communication channel and the individual system identifier with which a bus telegram to be sent is connected in order to achieve virtual isolation.
  • the fieldbus system according to the invention can be constructed in a very simple manner with such a bus connection module, and otherwise existing standardized technologies can be used.
  • the individual system identifier is inherently redundant.
  • the individual system identifier contains at least two mutually redundant sub-components that must be sent or received together in order to enable an effective identification of the associated bus telegram.
  • the components can, for example be two data values that are related to each other.
  • the one data value is preferably a checksum derived from the other, for example a CRC checksum (Cyclic Redundancy Check).
  • CRC checksum Cyclic Redundancy Check
  • the individual system identifier contains a defined frequency signal that is transmitted with the bus telegram via the open communication channel.
  • the individual system identifier is implemented in the frequency domain. This is possible particularly easily when transmitting the bus telegram by adding an additional, individually determined "tone" to the message spectrum to be transmitted.
  • the measure has the advantage that the system identifier is implemented independently of the bus telegram to be transmitted. The system identifier is therefore independent of any data errors that may influence the bus telegram to be transmitted. As a result, an incorrectly transmitted bus telegram can always be uniquely assigned to the fieldbus system concerned.
  • the individual system identifier contains a data value that is sent as part of the bus telegram.
  • the individual system identifier is added as a data value to the bus message that is actually to be transmitted. On the one hand, this can take place within a data frame provided by the bus telegram.
  • the individual system identifier is preferably added "outside" to the existing data frame, since in this case the data frame itself does not have to be changed. The individual system identifier can therefore be easily supplemented even with older existing communication protocols. In both cases, the individual system identifier can be generated in terms of software using measures known per se, which represents a very inexpensive and flexible possibility.
  • the data value is independently secured against data errors.
  • This measure has the advantage that the individual system identifier is independent of data protection measures that the communication protocol provides as standard. This makes it very easy to implement the individual system identifier even with an existing communication protocol. The original communication protocol itself can remain unchanged, it is only supplemented by adding the individual system identifier. Protection against data errors is preferably carried out by means of a CRC checksum or a comparable checksum, which is generated in addition to existing checksums.
  • the transmission medium also has a closed communication channel on, which is connected to the open communication channel via a signal converter.
  • the fieldbus system according to the invention has both open and closed transmission paths.
  • the measure has the advantage that the fieldbus system according to the invention can be optimally adapted to existing environments.
  • a closed, line-bound part can be installed in spatial areas with particularly strong electromagnetic interference radiation, while at the same time larger transmission links in other areas are bridged wirelessly.
  • a closed, line-bound transmission medium at least according to the current state of the art, a higher transmission speed can be achieved at comparable costs.
  • the fieldbus system according to the invention thus benefits from the advantages of the different transmission media.
  • the signal converter has a first security stage which connects a bus telegram to be sent via the open communication channel to the system identifier.
  • the measure has the advantage that the bus subscribers in the closed part of the fieldbus system are relieved of the task of providing a bus telegram to be sent with the system identifier. This increases their processing speed.
  • an existing closed fieldbus system can be supplemented in this way very cost-effectively with open, for example wireless, transmission sections.
  • the signal converter has a second security stage which checks the system identifier of a bus telegram received via the open communication channel.
  • the signal converter also takes on the second subtask, which is associated with the individual system identifier, namely its checking when a bus telegram is received.
  • the bus participants in the closed part of the fieldbus system can be relieved completely of the tasks associated with the system identifier.
  • the closed part of the safe fieldbus system can therefore easily be supplemented with, for example, wireless transmission paths using the signal converter.
  • the signal converter has a filter stage which selects bus telegrams to be sent via the open communication channel.
  • the signal converter has the ability to transmit only those bus telegrams via the open communication channel that are intended for bus users "on the other side" of this channel. Bus telegrams whose addressees are not on the other side of the open communication channel are not transmitted.
  • the measure has the advantage that the open communication channel is relieved of unnecessary bus telegrams, which enables a higher transmission speed.
  • the signal converter has an exchangeable storage medium on which the system identifier is stored in a non-volatile manner.
  • the exchangeable storage medium is preferably a chip card.
  • the measure has the advantage that the individual system identifier can be assigned to the signal converter very simply and nevertheless fail-safe. It is also easy and inexpensive to replace a defective signal converter.
  • a checksum assigned to it is preferably stored on the exchangeable storage medium, which enables a particularly fail-safe assignment of the system identifier.
  • each bus subscriber has an exchangeable storage medium on which the system identifier is stored in a non-volatile manner.
