Americas Go-To-Market Agreement Leverages Proven Capabilities to Transform Business Performance by Eliminating Barriers Between Enterprise and Production Management Systems
GE Fanuc has announced the completion of a sales and marketing agreement with SAP America, Inc., to jointly market GE Fanuc Production Management solutions and SAP® applications – easing plant floor and enterprise integration to increase quality, drive productivity, and enable success in key business initiatives such as Lean Six Sigma, regulatory compliance and efficiency.
This new relationship allows both companies to leverage each other’s strengths to meet the needs of customers in important Americas markets and in two key industries: Automotive and Mill Products. Other programs that fall under the agreement include the development of specialized professional services in order to support customers with planning, design, and implementation of the solutions.
“The ‘Perfect Order’ is not attainable without the bidirectional flow of crucial production information, such as production schedules, quality performance, inventory consumption and maintenance status,” said Tom Cruz, GE Fanuc Vice President of Software and Services. “By combining and jointly marketing GE Fanuc Production Management and SAP Adaptive Manufacturing solutions, our customers can overcome the barriers historically restricting contextual information flow between the plant floor and the enterprise – helping manufacturers transform their business through increased visibility and resulting responsiveness.”
The combination of GE Fanuc’s Production Management solutions with SAP’s Production Execution services allows for the gathering, analyzing and transforming of real-time data into information to continuously improve a company’s level of productivity and performance. The real-time visibility and intelligence facilitated by the combined solution translates into improved agility, quality and efficiency by tracking and executing production operations through a closed-loop information exchange with the SAP Business Suite.
“Connecting plant floor and business systems in a robust way is a critical business issue for manufacturers today because it is the only way to get the performance and responsiveness they need,” said Greg Gorbach, ARC Advisory Group’s Vice President of Collaborative Manufacturing Research. "The new GE Fanuc and SAP relationship allows manufacturers to implement a joint solution that synchronizes plant operations with the dynamics of the supply network to reduce waste, drive adherence to schedule, decrease product and production variability, and increase quality and productivity on a global basis."
“GE Fanuc has successfully implemented SAP-integrated Production Management software solutions, ranging from single-plant environments to diverse, multinational, global rollouts,” explained John Dyck, GE Fanuc Global Director of Production Management. “We have brought these solutions to major manufacturers in discrete, hybrid and process industries through hundreds of installations throughout the world. By working even more closely with SAP, we are helping manufacturers achieve the next level of business transformation.”
Traditionally, integration of production data and business systems has been limited to manual processes, or at best, automated transactions that were narrowly defined. By eliminating these barriers, the joint GE Fanuc and SAP solution will improve quality and throughput by identifying constraints in real-time, ensuring “right-first-time” production, managing production sequences, and limiting warranty and recall exposure. The solutions will provide product genealogy information traced by raw material consumption and production performance data. Additionally, they will drive operational efficiency and quality as well as the ability to respond quickly to manufacturing events and trends. These flexible, capable production systems will also meet the needs of companies that typically manufacture many variants of their products and require exceptional agility.omply with key regulatory requirements

Shelf Management RFID
The LibBestTM Shelf Management Solution makes locating and identifying items on the shelves an easy task for librarians. It comprises basically of a portable scanner and a base station.
The solution is designed to cover three main requirements:
* Search for individual books requested
* Inventory check of the whole library stock
* Search for books which are miss-helved
RFID EP
All these functions are performed by sweeping the portable scanner across the spines of the books on the shelves to gather their identities. In an inventory check situation, the identities collected are compared with the database and a discrepancy report could be generated.
In situations when search function is required, whether for a particular item or an item category, the information is first entered into the portable scanner from the base station, and when a foreign item is found on the shelves, a built-in beeper sound to alert the librarians.
KEY BENEFITS:
1. Changes inventory process:
* No more book handling: just pass the reader across shelved books to perform an instant inventory.
* Accuracy: book identification numbers are registered in the Shelf-Management Reader. The data is then downloaded to the central database.
* The fastest inventory you have ever made: 20 books per second.
* Notification: books to be pulled are up-loaded to the reader for quick identification.
2. User friendly:
* Light weight
* Wand allows easy reading of high and low shelves
3. Saves time and resources:
* Implementers indicate a 75% reduction in human resources required for shelf management activities.

Self Check in/out station
The Patron Self Check-out station is basically a computer with a touch screen and a built-in RFID reader, plus special software for personal identification, book and other media handling and circulation. After identifying the patron with a library ID card, a barcode card, or his personal ID number (PIN), the patron is asked to choose the next action (check-out of one or several books). After choosing check-out , the patron puts the book(s) in front of the screen on the RFID reader and the display will show the book title and its ID number (other optional information can be shown if desired) which have been checked out.
The patron then confirms that he has finished the check-out process and a receipt is printed, showing which books have been borrowed and the return date. The RFID tag in the book is set on quiet as a result no alarm will go off at the EAS gates.
It is also possible to use the station for Check-In (return) of books. In this case the patron identifies herself, chooses return and then puts one book or a stack of books onto the reader. She will receive a receipt. If the books were to be taken through the gate now, an alarm would sound.
One important point for library productivity is that the whole process is significantly less time consuming than with barcode and magnetic strip system; therefore long lines are avoided and fewer stations are needed for the same process.
KEY BENEFITS:
1. To Librarian:
* Speeds up book check-in / check-out
* Frees staff to better service patrons
* Better space planning
* Increases membership rate
2. To Patrons:
* Easy to use: books can be read in any orientation
* Reduces queuing time
* Provides patron privacy
* Encourages patrons to come back

RFID Transponder
An RFID tag is the most important link in any RFID system. It has the ability to store information relating to the specific item to which they are attached, rewrite again without any requirement for contact or line of sight. Data within a tag may provide identification for an item, proof of ownership, original storage location, loan status and history.
RFID Tag consists of an integrated circuit and an antenna combined to form a transponder. RFID tags collect the energy to operate from a Radio Frequency (RF) field emitted by a reader device; therefore they do not need a battery. When energized by a radio signal from a fixed position reader or handheld scanner, the tag returns the stored information in order that the item to which it is attached can be easily located.
The chip also has a "multi-read" function, which means that several tags can be read at once.
RFID tags have been specifically designed to be affixed into library media, including books, CDs, DVDs and tapes.
RFID Transponder
It is thin, flexible and thus can be laminated between paper and plastic. With special method to attach to books, patron is totally unaware that the tag is there.
KEY BENEFITS:
* No line of sight needed
* Allows to check-out and check-in several items simultaneously
* Information directly attached to product
* Performing both identification and antitheft in one single operation
* Different shape and sizes available
* Able to tag almost anything
* Accelerate scanning and identifying

RFID FOR LIBRARY
SIX SENTENCE About RFID FOR LIBRARY
1. RFID tags replace both the EM security strips and Barcode.
2. Simplify patron self check-out / check-in.
3. Ability to handle material without exception for video and audio tapes.
4. Radio Frequency anti-theft detection is innovative and safe.
5. High-speed inventory and identify items which are out of proper order.
6. Long-term development guarantee when using Open Standard.
RFID Technology for Libraries
1. RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is the latest technology to be used in library theft detection systems. Unlike EM (Electro-Mechanical) and RF (Radio Frequency) systems, which have been used in libraries for decades, RFID-based systems move beyond security to become tracking systems that combine security with more efficient tracking of materials throughout the library, including easier and faster charge and discharge, inventorying, and materials handling.
2. RFID is a combination of radio-frequency-based technology and microchip technology. The information contained on microchips in the tags affixed to library materials is read using radio frequency technology regardless of item orientation or alignment (i.e., the technology does not require line-of-sight or a fixed plane to read tags as do traditional theft detection systems) and distance from the item is not a critical factor except in the case of extra-wide exit gates. The corridors at the building exit(s) can be as wide as four feet because the tags can be read at a distance of up to two feet by each of two parallel exit sensors.
3. The targets used in RFID systems can replace both EM or RF theft detection targets and barcodes.
Advantages of RFID systems
Rapid check-out / check-in
The use of RFID reduces the amount of time required to perform circulation operations. The most significant time savings are attributable to the facts that information can be read from RFID tags much faster than from barcodes and that several items in a stack can be read at the same time. While initially unreliable, the anti-collision algorithm that allows an entire stack to be check-out or check-in now appears to be working well.
The other time savings realized by circulation staff are modest unless the RFID tags replace both the EM security strips or RF tags of older theft detection systems and the barcodes of the library management system - i.e., the system is a comprehensive RFID system that combines RFID security and the tracking of materials throughout the library; or it is a hybrid system that uses EM for security and RFID for tracking, but handles both simultaneously with a single piece of equipment. There can be as much as a 50 percent increase in throughput. The time savings are less for check-out than for check-in because the time required for check-out usually is extended by social interaction with patrons.
Simplified patron self check-out / check-in
For patrons using self check out, there is a marked improvement because they do not have to carefully place materials within a designated template and they can check out several items at the same time.
Patron self check-in shifts that work from staff to patrons. Staff is relieved further when readers are installed in book-drops.
High reliability
1. The readers are highly reliable. RFID library systems claim an almost 100 percent detection rate using RFID tags.
2. There is no false alarm than with older technologies once an RFID system is properly tuned.
3. RFID systems encode the circulation status on the RFID tag. This is done by designating a bit as the "theft" (EAS) bit and turning it off at time of check-out and on at time of check-in. If the material that has not been properly check-out is taken past the exit sensors, an immediate alarm is triggered.
High-speed inventorying
A unique advantage of RFID systems is their ability to scan books on the shelves without tipping them out or removing them. A hand-held inventory reader can be moved rapidly across a shelf of books to read all of the unique identification information. Using wireless technology, it is possible not only to update the inventory, but also to identify items which are out of proper order.
Automated materials handling
Another application of RFID technology is automated materials handling. This includes conveyer and sorting systems that can move library materials and sort them by category into separate bins or onto separate carts. This significantly reduces the amount of staff time required to ready materials for re-shelving.
Long tag life
Finally, RFID tags last longer than barcodes because nothing comes into contact with them. Most RFID vendors claim a minimum of 100,000 transactions before a tag may need to be replaced.

RFID for Beginners
RFID profession is utilised ofttimes today and has been around since the 1920s, but not some grouping undergo about, or wager it. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification and is utilised to accumulation and regain information. This aggregation is stored and retrieved using RFID tags or transponders. RFID tags are diminutive and crapper be merged into some products. The tags hit antennas that earmark them to obtain and move to radio-frequency queries from an RFID transceiver.
Two Types of RFID Tags
There are digit types of RFID tags; astir tags, and supine tags. Passive tags do not hit their possess noesis supply, but kinda obtain their noesis from a tiny electrical underway inform in the sensitiveness that is evoked by an inbound broadcasting oftenness scan. Because of the diminutive noesis inform in the system, supine RFID tags are utilised exclusive in brief distances (such as an ID card).
Active RFID tags hit a noesis maker and thence are such stronger and crapper be utilised over large distances and are thence more highly effective. Active RFID tags also hit the possibleness to accumulation more aggregation than their supine counterparts. Some astir RFID tags hit a shelling chronicle of up to decade years.
The System of RFID
RFID entireness soured of a grouping that relies on tags, attach readers, attach planning stations, operation equipment, circulation readers, and attach listing wands. RFID is mostly utilised in security, because section gates are programmed to feature the RFID tags and then either unstoppered or near accordingly. The grouping helps the aggregation be easily transmitted via an RFID device. Systems hit evolved over the eld along with RFID chips. The wish is that RFID module digit period be acquirable to everyone (meaning consumers) because it module be more economical and outlay trenchant to compel RFID processes.
Where is RFID Used?
RFID crapper be institute nearly everywhere. RFID crapper be institute in bookstores and CD stores. The lowercase signal that sounds if a CD has not been scanned is prefabricated doable by an RFID chip. RFID chips are institute on birdlike tags, on books in libraries, in automobile alarms and automobile hair systems. RFID crapper also be utilised to notice motion. This could be rattling multipurpose in the reaching eld in cost of prisons. In 2004 the river Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRH) authorised a $415,000 lessen to effort RFID profession in prisons. The intent is that the prisoners module article wristbands that module check their movement. If there is some movement, which is discover of the ordinary, section module be alerted. This profession module be engaged in some states in the reaching years.
Conclusion
RFID profession seems to hit long possibilities. Some critics of RFID profession feature that it violates the concealment of citizens. This is supported on the fact that RFID crapper be utilised to road whereabouts of grouping and obtain individualized information. Putting every of this noesis into a lowercase defect makes it undetectable. However, RFID crapper also mayhap be utilised in driver’s licenses for faster personnel scanners, and as a artefact to guardian infirmary patients. With every potentially bruising covering of RFID, there are individual wonderful applications. It module be engrossing to wager every of the wonderful applications of RFID in the future.

We’ll first see how the DC input of labor. The DC input modules allow us to get in touch is PNP (sourcing) or NPN (sinking) transistor-like devices to them. If you use a normal toggle switch (or push button, etc.), generally do not care if you wire as NPN or PNP. We must note that most of the PLC will not let us mix NPN and PNP devices on the module itself when using a sensor (photo-eye, prox, etc) that we do, but must be on their output care-configuration. Always check whether it is PNP or NPN. (Check with the manufacturer if it is safe)
The difference between the two is whether the load (in our case, the PLC is the load), activated from the ground or positive voltage. NPN has a sensor on the load on the ground, while a PNP device is switched on the load on the positive voltage.
diagram below is what lower than the output NPN and PNP sensors seem. (more…)

REAPER COCKS
well, we're in the process of building a replacement system for what i currently use. the guy that's programming it has been here since March and he doesn't appear to be all that close to finishing it. I was wondering about how long it would take to complete a project like this. I figured out the problem though. i went to the national instruments website and discovered they had a support forum. The first thread was a question about alarms in a system exactly like ours posted by the dude that's working on my new system.
this is his first post in that forum. he registered the day he was brought in here.

Types of TOE’s
Another piece of Common Criteria nomenclature in this section is the type of TOE. There are
three types of TOE’s:
1. Monolithic TOE – A self-contained, standalone TOE. This is a product or subsystem that
does not have any component TOE’s and is not part of a composite TOE.
2. Component TOE – The lowest level TOE in a system compromised of multiple TOE’s.
Two or more component TOE’s can be combined to form a composite TOE.
3. Composite TOE – A composite of multiple component and composite TOE’s that address
requirements for a system.
A field device can be a monolithic TOE and can be evaluated and certified on its own. A field
device can also be a component TOE that would be part of a composite TOE developed in the
future. This composite TOE could include a Field Device Protection Profile and a Control
Center Protection Profile.

Explanatory Text
The TOE Description section is a simple and easily understood section in a Protection Profile. A
TOE is the product or subsystem that would be tested for compliance with the Protection Profile.
The process goes as follows:
1. A customer or industry group develops a Protection Profile with security functional and
assurance requirements. The functional requirements define the what security is required
in the TOE. The assurance requirements define how the vendor will need to prove the
TOE meets the functional requirements. Protection Profiles are implementation
independent, so two vendors could have different security approaches to meeting the
functional requirements.
2. A vendor writes a Security Target document that responds to the Protection Profile with
the implementation specific requirements for a TOE, a product.
3. The TOE is the product that is tested by a Common Criteria Testing Lab to prove it meets
the requirements in a Security Target.
The TOE Description section in a Protection Profile describes the general functionality of
products that could be a TOE and the boundaries of a TOE. In the SCADA Field Device
Protection Profile this is very straightforward. A field device is typically a PLC, PAC, RTU, or
IED. This is not a restrictive list of possible TOE’s, merely examples that contain the general
functionality. Another class of field device, such as a smart instrument, could also use this
Protection Profile.
The TOE boundary is the physical enclosure. All software, hardware and firmware in the
physical box are within the TOE boundary. The communication links to the field device and the
person or device that communicates with the field device are outside the boundary. This does
not mean there will be no security requirements on data as it enters the TOE boundary; there will
be.

Target of Evaluation Description
This Protection Profile specifies the minimum security requirements for a Target of Evaluation
(TOE) that is a SCADA field device. Common functions of a SCADA field device include:
Collecting measurements from sensors
Making logic and control calculations
Issuing control commands that modify a process
Examples of product categories that would be included in this TOE description are
programmable logic controllers (PLC’s), remote terminal units (RTU’s), programmable
automation controllers (PAC’s), and intelligent electronic devices (IED’s). These field devices
are typically found in remote sites in SCADA networks such as pumping plants, substations, or
turnouts.
The functionality of a field device can vary a great deal. Sophisticated field devices can run
programs and control complex processes. Simple field devices can be limited to a small number
of measurements and controls. This Protection Profile is applicable to any field device without
regard to the amount of measurement, calculation or control that takes place in the device.
While the title of this Protection Profile refers to SCADA field devices, it may be applicable to
similar field devices used in a DCS or any other control or monitoring system. In fact many field
devices that are used in SCADA systems are also used in DCS and PLC based control systems.
The TOE includes all resident software, hardware, and firmware in a field device. The
communication path and channels to the TOE are not part of the TOE. A simple way to describe
the TOE boundary is the physical boundary around the hardware platform. The TOE boundary
begins when data arrives at a physical interface and ends when data leaves a physical interface.

Target of Evaluation (TOE) -Introduction
SCADA Field Device Protection Profile Project
Target of Evaluation (TOE)
Introduction
The Process Control Security Requirements Forum (PCSRF) has a project to develop and
complete a SCADA Field Device Protection Profile by April 30, 2006. The Protection Profile
will list the security requirements for field devices such as PLC’s, PAC’s, RTU’s and IED’s.
The Protection Profile is an opportunity for the asset owners, vendors, industry organizations,
government organizations and other interested parties to provide a clear and comprehensive set
of security requirements for the next generation of field devices. Vendors will then be able to
develop field devices that meet the Protection Profile requirements and have those devices
independently tested and certified by an internationally recognized third party.
PCSRF has chosen to use the Common Criteria methodology to specify functional and assurance
requirements. The Common Criteria has a precise language and methodology that enables for
clear specifications and objective testing. To achieve this, the Common Criteria sacrifices
readability and is not the appropriate document for a general reader to learn guidelines or best
practices. It may not be easy for even a subject matter expert in SCADA Field Devices to
understand some of the later sections of the Protection Profile text.
To encourage participation each milestone deliverable in this project will have a section with the
draft Protection Profile text and a section explaining the Protection Profile text.
We need your comments on either the Protection Profile text or the explanatory text. If you can
identify an issue in the explanatory text, we can convert it into the proper Common Criteria
format.
There are helpful books available, such as Debra Herrmann’s Using the Common Criteria for IT
Security Evaluations, if you want to understand the specific Common Criteria language. As Ms.
Herrman defines it, the Common Criteria “provide a complete methodology, notation, and syntax
for specifying requirements, designing a security architecture, and verifying the security integrity
of an ‘as built’ product, system or network.”

This is my first project were i'll raid in Modbus TCP/IP protocol using Java, i have writed a modbus class that you can feel free to use in others projects. This program can read and show data from a master modbus device, such as a PLC. Also you can write data in the master modbus device. I want to know people that wanna make something better with this =) . Sorry for my english, my motherhood language is spanish.

MoCo
MoCo is a system that monitors and controls SCADA points, such as temperature, HVAC, power, lighting, sprinkler systems, and more. It has industrial capabilities, but is scalable from very small home systems to enterprise, world-wide ones. It works with inexpensive I/O bridges (including X10, Insteon, and 1-wire) from a number of manufacturers. It has sophisticated history logging and diverse control capabilities, as well as a 117-page implementation manual.
Chief Database
Chief Database records time series data in real time. Data is compressed to reduce disk requirements and improve performance. Redo logging and caching provide high performance on minimal hardware, with minimal data loss in the event of hardware failure. 1 million coordinates can be processed per second on server-level hardware. All interfaces are SOAP; allowing for easy integration with other systems and Web sites. Data is usually from a telemetered resource, but can also come from SNMP. Chief Trends allows for trending data inside Firefox. Chief Calculator is a Perl calculation engine to manipulate the data in whatever way you want.
Stantor-Domodulor
Stantor-Domodulor is a home automation software system. It lets you manage electric and electronic facilities through Web pages, I-mode, and WAP 2 and 1. Stantor can drive Velleman k8000/k8055/k8061 boards, X10 materials, USB webcams, and sound boards. Stantor correspondents can sent alerts via email and instant messaging. Linux distributions supported are Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mandriva.
Storozh
No-screenshot
Storozh is software for collecting and processing telemetry information from remote devices, dispatching events, and generating controlling impacts according to the system state (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition). Application areas include management of automated equipment, emergency alarm systems, and security systems. The modular architecture of Storozh allows it to be used either as a telemetry collector on minimal PC equipment, as well as for graphical visualization of the system status.

APC
OpenAPC is an APC (Advanced Process Control) solution that is highly flexible and configurable and covers a wide range of automation, visualization, and process control tasks from home control up to industrial automation. Control applications created with the OpenAPC editor's visual interface can perform several tasks dependent on how the application is configured and used. The application is available for many different platforms, so OpenAPC projects can be switched over to a different platform easily.
RSS
If you’re a small to medium-sized business, it behooves you to keep in touch with your customers and potential customers. An e-mail marketing application like OpenEMM can help by letting you send out any kind of e-mailings, including newsletters and service messages (transaction messages and event- or time-triggered messages). OpenEMM offers targeting, bounce management, link tracking, realtime statistics, a content management extension, and a scripting feature.
German developer Martin Aschoff, who maintains OpenEMM, say the project was designed in 2005 as a single-server version of his company’s E-Marketing Manager software. “Since we focused on big companies at that time we decided to make OpenEMM open source to quickly find international users (who might later buy commercial services from us) and to get input for development from all over the world. We launched OpenEMM on SourceForge.net in July 2006. The fast adoption of OpenEMM in more than 80 countries worldwide validated this decision.”
Aschoff says that compared to alternatives such as phplist and Dada Mail, OpenEMM is stronger in usability (GUI, graphical realtime statistics, online update) and number of features. However, unlike those alternatives, “OpenEMM is not a simple script but needs Java and a servlet engine (which is embedded in OpenEMM) to run. OpenEMM is written mainly in Java (we use Eclipse for development) and is based on the Java frameworks Spring, Struts, and Hibernate for maximum stability and scalability.” That robust foundation allows even large companies to take advantage of OpenEMM. “The biggest user we know of has a mailing list of 3.5 million names and sends out about 20 million messages a month,” Aschoff says.
Aschoff advises new users read the comprehensive 272-page user manual. The project also offers an install guide that should help users improve OpenEMM performance, and support forums with a wealth of hints and tricks from the community, including ready-to-use scripts to extend the software’s functionality.
The project is still growing and improving. The next version is scheduled for late summer with a lot of new features, and replaces the internal servlet engine Resin with Tomcat, at the request of third-party developers. Aschoff says the project usually makes two major releases per year, with some smaller bug-fix releases in between. He also welcomes contributors. “We now have contributors from all continents except for Australia (wink!).”
