THE EMBEDDED SYSTEM DESIGN CYCLE

V Diagram In this place we need to discuss the role of simulation software, real-time systems and data acquisition in dynamic test applications. Traditional testing is referred to as static testing where functionality of components is tested by providing known inputs and measuring 8

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


outputs. Today there is more pressure to get products to market faster and reduce design cycle times. This has led to a need for dynamic testing where components are tested while in use with the entire system either real or simulated. Because of cost and safety concerns, simulating the rest of the the system with real-time hardware is preferred to testing components in the actual real system. The diagram shown on this slide is the V Diagram that is often used to describe the development cycle. Originally developed to encapsulate the design process of software

applications, many different versions of this diagram can be found to describe different product design cycles. Here we have shown one example of such a diagram representing the design cycle of embedded control applications common to automotive, aerospace and defense applications. In this diagram the general progression in time of the development stages is shown from left to right. Note however that this is often an iterative process and the actual development will not proceed linearly through these steps. The goal of rapid development is to make this cycle as efficient as possible by minimizing the iterations required for a design. If the x-axis of the diagram is thought of as time, the goal is to narrow the V as much as possible and thereby reduce development time. The y-axis of this diagram can be thought of as the level at which the system components are considered. Early on in the development, the requirements of the overall system must be considered. As the system is divided into sub-systems and components, the process becomes very low-level down to the point of loading code onto individual processors. Afterwards components are integrated and tested together until such time that the entire system can enter 9

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


final production testing. Therefore the top of the diagram represents the high-level system view and the bottom of the diagram represents a very low-level view. Notes: V diagram describes lots of applicationsderived from software development. Reason for shape, every phase of design requires a complimentary test phase. Highlevel to low-level view of application. This is a simplified version. Loop Back/ Iterative process, X-axis is time (sum up).

Reliability embedded systems must be able to handle any situation without human intervention

Memory space Memory is limited on embedded systems, and you must make the software and the data fit into whatever memory exists

Program installation you will need special tools to get your software into embedded systems

Power consumption Portable systems must run on battery power, and the software in these systems must conserve power

Processor hogs computing that requires large amounts of CPU time can complicate the response problem

Cost Reducing the cost of the hardware is a concern in many embedded system projects; software often operates on hardware that is barely adequate for the job.

2.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO SCADA: SCADA stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. It generally refers to an industrial control system: a computer system monitoring and controlling a process. The process can be industrial, infrastructure or facility based as described below:

Industrial processes include those of manufacturing, production, power

generation, fabrication, and refining, and may run in continuous, batch, repetitive, or discrete modes.

Infrastructure processes may be public or private, and include water treatment

and distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, oil and gas pipelines, electrical power transmission and distribution, and large communication systems.

Facility processes occur both in public facilities and private ones, including

buildings, airports, ships, and space stations. They monitor and control HVAC, access, and energy consumption The term SCADA usually refers to centralized systems which monitor and control entire sites, or complexes of systems spread out over large areas (anything between an industrial plant and a country). Most control actions are performed automatically by remote terminal units ("RTUs") or by programmable logic controllers ("PLCs"). Host control functions are usually restricted to basic overriding or supervisory level intervention. For example, a PLC may control the flow of cooling water through part of an industrial process, but the SCADA 14

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


system may allow operators to change the set points for the flow, and enable alarm conditions, such as loss of flow and high temperature, to be displayed and recorded. The feedback control loop passes through the RTU or PLC, while the SCADA system monitors the overall performance of the loop. Data acquisition begins at the RTU or PLC level and includes meter readings and equipment status reports that are communicated to SCADA as required. Data is then compiled and formatted in such a way that a control room operator using the HMI can make supervisory decisions to adjust or override normal RTU (PLC) controls. Data may also be fed to a Historian, often built on a commodity Database Management System, to allow trending and other analytical auditing.

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


SCADA Architectures SCADA systems have evolved through 3 generations as follows: First Generation: "Monolithic" In the first generation computing was done by Mainframe systems. Networks didnt exist at the time SCADA was developed. Thus SCADA systems were independent systems with no connectivity to other systems. Wide Area Networks were later designed by RTU vendors to communicate with the RTU. The communication protocols used were often proprietary at that time. The first generation SCADA System was redundant since a back-up mainframe system was connected at the bus level and was used in the event of failure of the main mainframe system.

Second Generation: "Distributed" The processing was distributed across multiple stations which were connected through LAN and they shared information in real time. Each station was responsible for a particular task thus making the size and cost of each station less than the one used in First Generation. The network protocols used were still mostly proprietary. Third Generation: "Networked" These are the current generation SCADA systems which use open system architecture rather than a vendor controlled proprietary environment. The SCADA system utilizes open standard and protocols thus distributing functionality across a WAN rather than a LAN. It is easier to connect third party peripheral devices like printers, disk drives, tape drives due to the use of open architecture. WAN protocols such as Internet Protocol (IP) are used for communication between the master station and communications equipment. This on the other hand has put a question on the security of SCADA system which seems to be vulnerable to cyber-warfare and cyber terrorism attacks.

2.2.3 INTRODUCTION TO RELAYS

A relay is usually an electromechanical device that is actuated by an electrical current. The current flowing in one circuit causes the opening or closing of another circuit. Relays are like remote control switches and are used in many applications because of their relative simplicity, long life, and proven high reliability. Relays are used in a wide variety of applications throughout industry, such as in telephone exchanges, digital computers and automation systems. Highly sophisticated relays are utilized to protect electric power systems against trouble and power blackouts as well as to regulate and control the generation and distribution of power. In the home, relays are used in refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers, and heating and air-conditioning controls. Although relays are generally associated with electrical circuitry, there are many other types, such as pneumatic and hydraulic. Input may be electrical and output directly mechanical, or vice versa.

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


3.1 MICROCONTROLLER

3.1.1 INTRODUCTION TO MICROCONTROLLER A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor which combines the processor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The computer-on-achip is called the microcomputer whose proper meaning is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPUs, while the concept of the microcomputer is known to be a microcontroller. A microcontroller can be viewed as a set of digital logic circuits integrated on a single silicon chip. This chip is used for only specific applications. Most microcontrollers do not require a substantial amount of time to learn how to efficiently program them, although many of them, which have quirks, which you will have to understand before you, attempt to develop your first application. Along with microcontrollers getting faster, smaller and more power efficient they are also getting more and more features. Often, the first version of microcontroller will just have memory and digital I/O, but as the device family matures, more and more pat numbers with varying features will be available. In this project we used PIC 16f877A microcontroller. For most applications, we will be able to find a device within the family that meets our specifications with a minimum of external devices, or an external but which will make attaching external devices easier, both in terms of wiring and programming. For many microcontrollers, programmers can built very cheaply, or even built in to the final application circuit eliminating the need for a separate circuit. Also simplifying this requirement is the availability of micro-controllers wit SRAM and EEPROM for control store,

FIG 3.3 POWER SUPPLY UNIT POWER SUPPLY UNIT COSISTS OF FOLLOWING UNITS 1) Step down transformer 2) Rectifier unit 3) Input filter 4) Regulator unit v) Output filter 3.3.1 STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER The Step down Transformer is used to step down the main supply voltage from 230V AC to lower value. This 230 AC voltage cannot be used directly, thus it is stepped down. The Transformer consists of primary and secondary coils. To reduce or step down the voltage, the transformer is designed to contain less number of turns in its secondary core. The output from

25

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


the secondary coil is also AC waveform. Thus the conversion from AC to DC is essential. This conversion is achieved by using the Rectifier Circuit/Unit. Step down transformers can step down incoming voltage, which enables you to have the correct voltage input for your electrical needs. For example, if our equipment has been specified for input voltage of 12 volts, and the main power supply is 230 volts, we will need a step down transformer, which decreases the incoming electrical voltage to be compatible with your 12 volt equipment. 3.3.2 RECTIFIER UNIT The Rectifier circuit is used to convert the AC voltage into its corresponding DC voltage. There are Half-Wave, Full-Wave and bridge Rectifiers available for this specific function. The most important and simple device used in Rectifier circuit is the diode. The simple function of the diode is to conduct when forward biased and not to conduct in reverse bias. Bridge rectifier: A bridge rectifier makes use of four diodes in a bridge arrangement to achieve full-wave rectification. This is a widely used configuration, both with individual diodes wired as shown and with single component bridges where the diode bridge is wired internally.

26

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


A diode bridge or bridge rectifier is an arrangement of four diodes in a bridge configuration that provides the same polarity of output voltage for either polarity of input voltage. When used in its most common application, for conversion of alternating current (AC) input into direct current (DC) output, it is known as a bridge rectifier. A bridge rectifier provides full-wave rectification from a two-wire AC input, resulting in lower cost and weight as compared to a center-tapped transformer design. The Forward Bias is achieved by connecting the diodes positive with positive of the battery and negative with batterys negative. The efficient circuit used is the Full wave Bridge rectifier circuit. The output voltage of the rectifier is in rippled form, the ripples from the obtained DC voltage are removed using other circuits available. The circuit used for removing the ripples is called Filter circuit. 3.3.3 INPUT FILTER Capacitors are used as filter. The ripples from the DC voltage are removed and pure DC voltage is obtained. And also these capacitors are used to reduce the harmonics of the input voltage. The primary action performed by capacitor is charging and discharging. It charges in positive half cycle of the AC voltage and it will discharge in negative half cycle. So it allows only AC voltage and does not allow the DC voltage. The 1000f capacitor serves as a "reservoir" which maintains a reasonable input voltage to the 7805 throughout the entire cycle of the ac line voltage. The four rectifier diodes keep recharging the reservoir capacitor on alternate half-cycles of the line voltage, and the capacitor is quite capable of sustaining any reasonable load in between charging pulses. This filter is fixed before the regulator. Thus the output is free from ripples. Input side the low pass filter has been used.

27

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


Low pass filter:

One simple electrical circuit that will serve as a low-pass filter consists of a resistor in series with a load, and a capacitor in parallel with the load. The capacitor exhibits reactance, and blocks low-frequency signals, causing them to go through the load instead. At higher frequencies the reactance drops, and the capacitor effectively functions as a short circuit. The combination of resistance and capacitance gives you the time constant of the filter = RC (represented by the Greek letter tau). The break frequency, also called the turnover frequency or cutoff frequency (in hertz), is determined by the time constant: or equivalently (in radians per second): One way to understand this circuit is to focus on the time the capacitor takes to charge. It takes time to charge or discharge the capacitor through that resistor: At low frequencies, there is plenty of time for the capacitor to charge up to

practically the same voltage as the input voltage. At high frequencies, the capacitor only has time to charge up a small amount

before the input switches direction. The output goes up and down only a small fraction of the

28

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


amount the input goes up and down. At double the frequency, there's only time for it to charge up half the amount. 3.3.4 REGULATOR UNIT

FIG 3.4 7805 REGULATOR Regulator regulates the output voltage to be always constant. The output voltage is maintained irrespective of the fluctuations in the input AC voltage. As and then the AC voltage changes, the DC voltage also changes. Thus to avoid this Regulators are used. Also when the internal resistance of the power supply is greater than 30 ohms, the output gets affected. Thus this can be successfully reduced here. Meanwhile it also contains current-limiting circuitry and thermal overload protection, so that the IC won't be damaged in case of excessive load current; it will reduce its output voltage instead. The regulators are mainly classified for low voltage and for high voltage. Further they can also be classified as: 1) Positive regulator Input pin Ground pin Output pin

It regulates the positive voltage. 2) Negative regulator Ground pin Input pin 29

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


Output pin

It regulates the negative voltage. 7805 VOLTAGE REGULATOR: The 7805 provides circuit designers with an easy way to regulate DC voltages to 5v. Encapsulated in a single chip/package (IC), the 7805 is a positive voltage DC regulator that has only 3 terminals. They are: Input voltage, Ground, Output Voltage. 7812 12V INTEGRATED CIRCUIT 3-TERMINAL POSITIVE VOLTAGE REGULATOR:

The 7812 fixed voltage regulator is a monolithic integrated circuit in

a TO220 type package designed for use in a wide variety of applications including local, onboard regulation. This regulator employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area compensation.

With adequate heat-sinking it can deliver output currents in excess

of 1.0 ampere. Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, this device can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and currents. 3.3.5 OUTPUT FILTER The Filter circuit is often fixed after the Regulator circuit. Capacitor is most often used as filter. The principle of the capacitor is to charge and discharge. It charges during the positive half cycle of the AC voltage and discharges during the negative half cycle. The 10f and .01f capacitors serve to help keep the power supply output voltage constant when load conditions change. The electrolytic capacitor smooths out any long-term or low frequency variations. 30

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


However, at high frequencies this capacitor is not very efficient. Therefore, the .01f is included to bypass high-frequency changes, such as digital IC switching effects, to ground. RELAY DRIVER The ULN2001A, ULN2002A, ULN2003 and ULN2004Aare high Voltage, high current Darlington arrays each containing seven open collector Darlington pairs with common emitters.

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


associated with electrical circuitry, there are many other types, such as pneumatic and hydraulic. Input may be electrical and output directly mechanical, or vice versa. All relays contain a sensing unit, the electric coil, which is powered by AC or DC current. When the applied current or voltage exceeds a threshold value, the coil activates the armature, which operates either to close the open contacts or to open the closed contacts. When a power is supplied to the coil, it generates a magnetic force that actuates the switch mechanism. The magnetic force is, in effect, relaying the action from one circuit to another. The first circuit is called the control circuit; the second is called the load circuit. On/Off Control: Example: Air conditioning control, used to limit and control a high power load, such as a compressor Limit Control: Example: Motor Speed Control, used to disconnect a motor if it runs slower or faster than the desired speed Logic Operation: Example: Test Equipment, used to connect the instrument to a number of testing points on the device under test. 3.4.4 ELECTROMECHANICAL RELAYS In our project we will be using an electromechanical relay, which will be a 5 pin relay and the working of the relay will be like as. The general-purpose relay is rated by the amount of current its switch contacts can handle. Most versions of the general-purpose relay have one to eight poles and can be single or double throw. These are found in computers, copy machines, and other consumer electronic equipment and appliances.

Flexure Type: The armature actuates the contact spring directly, and the contact is driven into a stationary contact, closing the circuit. 2. Lift-off Type: The moveable piece is energized by the armature, and the contact closes 3. Plunger Type: The lever action caused by the energization of the armature produces a long stroke action. Reed: A Single Side Stable Contact that involves low contact pressure and a simple contact point. 4. Polarized: Can be either a single side stable or dual-winding. A permanent magnet is used to either attract or repel the armature that controls the contact. A definite polarity (+ or -) is required

By the relay coil. The latching option makes a polarized relay dual-winding, meaning it remains in the current state after the coil is de-energized. 3.4.4.5 LOAD TYPES Load parameters include the maximum permissible voltage and the maximum permissible current. The relay can handle both volts and amps. Both the size of the load and its type are important. There are four types of loads: 1) Resistive, 2) Inductive, 3) AC or DC, and 4) High or Low Inrush 3.4.5.1 RESISTIVE LOAD It is the one that primarily offers resistance to the flow of current. Examples of resistive loads include electric heaters, ranges and ovens, toasters and irons. 3.4.5.2 INDUCTIVE LOADS It include power drills, electric mixers, fans, sewing machines and vacuum cleaners. Relays that are going to be subjected to high-inrush inductive loads, such as an AC motor, will often be rated in horsepower, rather than in volts and amps. This rating reflects the amount of power the relay contacts can handle at the moment the device is turned on (or switched). 3.4.5.3 AC OR DC This affects the contacts circuit of the relay (due to EMF) and the timing sequencing. It may result in performance issues in the switching capacity of the relay for different load types (I.e. resistive, inductive, etc.).

3.4.5.4

HIGH OR LOW IN RUSH

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


Some load types draw significantly higher amounts of current (amperage) when first turned then they do when the circuit later stabilizes (loads may also pulsate as the circuit continues operating, thus increasing and decreasing the current). An example of a high inrush load is a light bulb, which may draw 10 or more times its normal operating current when first turned on (some manufacturers refer to this as lamp load).

4.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE BLOCK DIAGRAM The entire project is powered with the power supply unit, the project needs two different dc power supply one is dc +12v supply it is maintained through LM7812 positive 12v regulator and one more dc +5v supply it is maintained through LM7805 positive 5v regulator. The project is separated by three parts, first one is parameters sensing part, second one is parameter calculation and display part, third one is save all values in computer. In this first part the current and voltage values are sensed by the current transformers and voltage transformers at RTU(Remote Terminal Unit, i.e., Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) connecting to sensors in the process, converting sensor signals to digital data and sending digital data to the supervisory system.). In that second part the sensing values are calculated by microcontroller. The block diagram consists of mainly five parts; they are controller unit, SCADA unit with keypad, driver unit, signal conditioning unit with current transformer and potential transformer and power supply unit. Only one relay is connected to the driver circuit.

FIG 4.3 POWER SUPPLY DIAGRAM

4.5 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4.5.1 POWER SUPPLY Power supply unit consists of Step down transformer, Rectifier, Input filter, Regulator unit, Output filter. The Step down Transformer is used to step down the main supply voltage from 230V AC to lower value. This 230 AC voltage cannot be used directly, thus it is stepped down. The Transformer consists of primary and secondary coils. To reduce or step down the voltage, the transformer is designed to contain less number of turns in its secondary core. The output from the secondary coil is also AC waveform. Thus the conversion from AC to DC is essential. This conversion is achieved by using the Rectifier Circuit/Unit. The Rectifier circuit is used to convert the AC voltage into its corresponding DC voltage. There are Half-Wave, Full-Wave and bridge Rectifiers available for this specific

41

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


function. The most important and simple device used in Rectifier circuit is the diode. The simple function of the diode is to conduct when forward biased and not to conduct in reverse bias. The Forward Bias is achieved by connecting the diodes positive with positive of the battery and negative with batterys negative. The efficient circuit used is the Full wave Bridge rectifier circuit. The output voltage of the rectifier is in rippled form, the ripples from the obtained DC voltage are removed using other circuits available. The circuit used for removing the ripples is called Filter circuit. Capacitors are used as filter. The ripples from the DC voltage are removed and pure DC voltage is obtained. And also these capacitors are used to reduce the harmonics of the input voltage. The primary action performed by capacitor is charging and discharging. It charges in positive half cycle of the AC voltage and it will discharge in negative half cycle. Here we used 1000F capacitor. So it allows only AC voltage and does not allow the DC voltage. This filter is fixed before the regulator. Thus the output is free from ripples. Regulator regulates the output voltage to be always constant. The output voltage is maintained irrespective of the fluctuations in the input AC voltage. As and then the AC voltage changes, the DC voltage also changes. Thus to avoid this Regulators are used. Also when the internal resistance of the power supply is greater than 30 ohms, the output gets affected. Thus this can be successfully reduced here. The regulators are mainly classified for low voltage and for high voltage. Here we used 7805 positive regulator. It reduces the 6V dc voltage to 5V dc Voltage.

42

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


The Filter circuit is often fixed after the Regulator circuit. Capacitor is most often used as filter. The principle of the capacitor is to charge and discharge. It charges during the positive half cycle of the AC voltage and discharges during the negative half cycle. So it allows only AC voltage and does not allow the DC voltage. This filter is fixed after the Regulator circuit to filter any of the possibly found ripples in the output received finally. Here we used 0.1F capacitor. The output at this stage is 5V and is given to the Microcontroller In the power supply circuit two regulators are used. 7805 regulator is used to produce positive 5V dc and 7812 regulator produces positive 12V dc voltage. Relays and ULN 2003 drivers operates at 12V dc and microcontroller and sensors are operated at 5V dc voltage. The output of the 7805 regulator is connected to PIC 16f877A microcontroller, sensors and the output of the 7812 regulator is connected to driver ICs and relays. 4.5.2 CONTROLLER CIRCUIT The PIC 16f877A microcontroller is a 40-pin IC. The first pin of the controller is MCLR pin and the 5V dc supply is given to this pin through 10K resistor. This supply is also given to 11th pin directly. The 12th pin of the controller is grounded. A tank circuit consists of a 4 MHZ crystal oscillator and two 22pf capacitors are connected to 13th and 14th pins of the PIC. The circuit consists one driver IC. IC ULN 2003 is acts as driver. It is a 16- pin IC. This is of NPN transistor type. And this IC is a combination of 7 transistors. At a time we can connect seven loads to each IC. In this project we used 4 relays and connected four relays to driver. These relays act as switches also. The 8th pin of driver ICs is grounded and the 9th pin is connected to 12V dc voltage which is from 7812 regulator.

43

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


First to fourth pins of driver IC are connected to RB0 to RB3 pins of the controller respectively. Similarly 13th to 16th pins are connected to Relays R4, R3, R2, and R1 respectively. The relays used in this project are of Single pole Single throw type. The Relay Driver Circuit is the main circuit that enables the actual control over the applications. As per the project designed, the Relay Driver circuit signals the appliances to be used if the user is valid or authenticated. Here we are using transistor as the relay driver circuit. Relay is connected with the transistor, which generally contains five pins totally. The first two pins are connected with the transistor and contain the magnetic coil wound between them. The rest of the pins are common point, Normally Open (NO) point and Normally Close (NC) point. Initially common point is in contact with Normally Close point. The magnetic coil also contains an arrangement very similar to that of a hook. When supply is given at the supply point, the magnetic coil of the relay gets energized or activated. Due to this a magnetic field is created that lifts the hook upwards. Thus the arrangement that was initially closed gets opened now. The status of the relay point gets changed (i.e. common point gets connected with normally open point). The status of the relay is depends upon the conduction of the transistor. The transistor configuration used here is that of common emitter mode. The conduction of the transistor depends on the base voltage of the transistor. The supply to the transistor is given from the regulator of the power supply board. Normally transistor acts as a switch. The switch then gets activated by the Microcontroller.

The output of the relay driver circuit is given to any of the port pins. The Microcontroller is programmed to respond corresponding to the relay signal obtained. Thus the transistor acts as a 44

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


switch to control the relay and indirectly controls the appliances. The output pins of the relays are connected to the load, here only the phase of load is coming through relays the neutral is connected directly to the load. This connection is actually as manual switch.

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


MPLAB Protel Propic HI-Tech PIC C Compiler

5.2 MPLAB INTEGRATION MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a free, integrated toolset for the development of embedded applications employing Microchip's PIC micro and dsPIC microcontrollers. MPLAB IDE runs as a 32-bit application on MS Windows, is easy to use and includes a host of free software components for fast application development and supercharged debugging. MPLAB IDE also serves as a single, unified graphical user interface for additional Microchip and third party software and hardware development tools. Moving between tools is a snap, and upgrading from the free simulator to MPLAB ICD 2 or the MPLAB ICE emulator is done in a flash because MPLAB IDE has the same user interface for all tools. Choose MPLAB C18, the highly optimized compiler for the PIC18 series microcontrollers, or try the newest Microchip's language tools compiler, MPLAB C30, targeted at the high performance PIC24 and dsPIC digital signal controllers. Or, use one of the many products from third party language tools vendors. They integrate into MPLAB IDE to function transparently from the MPLAB project manager, editor and compiler.

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


HI-TECH Software makes industrial-strength software development tools and C compilers that help software developers write compact, efficient embedded processor code. For over two decades HI-TECH Software has delivered the industry's most reliable embedded software development tools and compilers for writing efficient and compact code to run on the most popular embedded processors. Used by tens of thousands of customers including General Motors, Whirlpool, Qualcomm, John Deere and many others, HI-TECH's reliable development tools and C compilers, combined with world-class support have helped serious embedded software programmers to create hundreds of breakthrough new solutions. Whichever embedded processor family you are targeting with your software, whether it is the ARM, PICC or 8051 series, HI-TECH tools and C compilers can help you write better code and bring it to market faster. HI-TECH PICC is a high-performance C compiler for the Microchip PIC micro 10/12/14/16/17 series of microcontrollers. HI-TECH PICC is an industrial-strength ANSI C compiler - not a subset implementation like some other PIC compilers. The PICC compiler implements full ISO/ANSI C, with the exception of recursion. All data types are supported including 24 and 32 bit IEEE standard floating point. HI-TECH PICC makes full use of specific PIC features and using an intelligent optimizer, can generate high-quality code easily rivaling hand-written assembler. Automatic handling of page and bank selection frees the programmer from the trivial details of assembler code. 5.4 EMBEDDED C COMPILER ANSI C - full featured and portable Reliable - mature, field-proven technology Multiple C optimization levels 48

5.5 EMBEDDED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT This environment allows you to manage all of your PIC projects. You can compile, assemble and link your embedded application with a single step. Optionally, the compiler may be run directly from the command line, allowing you to compile, assemble and link using one command. This enables the compiler to be integrated into third party development environments, such as Microchip's MPLAB IDE.

5.6 EMBEDDED SYSTEM TOOLS 5.6.1 ASSEMBLER

49

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


An assembler is a computer program for translating assembly language essentially, a mnemonic representation of machine language into object code. A cross assembler (see cross compiler) produces code for one type of processor, but runs on another. The computational step where an assembler is run is known as assembly time. Translating assembly instruction mnemonics into opcodes, assemblers provide the ability to use symbolic names for memory locations (saving tedious calculations and manually updating addresses when a program is slightly modified), and macro facilities for performing textual substitution typically used to encode common short sequences of instructions to run inline instead of in a subroutine. Assemblers are far simpler to write than compilers for high-level languages. 5.6.2 ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE HAS SEVERAL BENEFITS Speed: Assembly language programs are generally the fastest programs around. Space: Assembly language programs are often the smallest. Capability: You can do things in assembly which are difficult or impossible in High level languages. Knowledge: Your knowledge of assembly language will help you write better programs, even when using High level languages. An example of an assembler we use in our project is RAD 51.

5.6.3 SIMULATOR

50

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


Simulator is a machine that simulates an environment for the purpose of training or research. We use a UMPS simulator for this purpose in our project. 5.6.4 UMPS Universal microprocessor program simulator simulates a microcontroller with its external environment. UMPS is able to simulate external components connected to the microcontroller. Then, debug step is dramatically reduced. UMPS is not dedicated to only one microcontroller family, it can simulate all kind of microcontrollers. The main limitation is to have less than 64K-Bytes of RAM and ROM space and the good microcontroller library. UMPS provide all the facilities other low-cost simulator does not have. It offers the user to see the "real effect" of a program and a way to change the microcontroller family without changing IDE. UMPS provide a low-cost solution to the problems. UMPS is really the best solution to your evaluation. 5.6.5 UMPS KEY FEATURES The speed, UMPS can run as fast as 1/5 the real microcontroller speed. No need to wait 2 days to see the result of a LCD routine access. All the microcontroller parts are simulated, interrupts, communication protocol, parallel handshake, timer and so on. UMPS have an integrated assembler/disassembler and debugger. It is able to accept an external assembler or compiler. It has a text editor which is not limited to 64K-bytes and shows keyword with color. It can also communicate with an external compiler to integrate all the debug facilities you need. UMPS is universal, it can easily be extended to other microcontroller with a library. Ask us for toolkit development.

51

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


External resource simulation is not limited. It can be extended to your proper needs by writing your own DLL. UMPS allows you to evaluate at the lowest cost the possibility to build a microcontroller project without any cable. - UMPS include a complete documentation on each microcontroller which describe special registers and each instruction 5.6.6COMPILER A compiler is a program that reads a program in one language, the source language and translates into an equivalent program in another language, the target language. The translation process should also report the presence of errors in the source program. Source Program Compiler Target Program

Error Messages

There are two parts of compilation. The analysis part breaks up the source program into constant piece and creates an intermediate representation of the source program. The synthesis part constructs the desired target program from the intermediate representation. 5.6.7 COUSINS OF THE COMPILER ARE 1. Preprocessor. 2. Assembler. 3. Loader and Link-editor. A naive approach to that front end might run the phases serially. 1. Lexical analyzer takes the source program as an input and produces a long string

of tokens. 52

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


2. Syntax Analyzer takes an out of lexical analyzer and produces a large tree.

Semantic analyzer takes the output of syntax analyzer and produces another tree. Similarly, intermediate code generator takes a tree as an input produced by semantic analyzer and produces intermediate code 5.6.8 PHASES OF COMPILER The compiler has a number of phases plus symbol table manager and an error handler.

FABRICATION DETAILS The fabrication of one demonstration unit is carried out in the following sequence. Finalizing the total circuit diagram, listing out the components and sources of procurement. Procuring the components, testing the components and screening the components. Making layout, repairing the interconnection diagram as per the circuit diagram. Assembling the components as per the component layout and circuit diagram and soldering components. Integrating the total unit, interwiring the unit and final testing the unit.

5.7 DESIGN OF EMBEDDED SYSTEM Like every other system development design cycle embedded system too have a design cycle. The flow of the system will be like as given below. For any design cycle these will be the implementation steps. From the initial state of the project to the final fabrication the design considerations will be taken like the software consideration and the hardware components, sensor, input and output. The electronics usually uses either a microprocessor or a microcontroller. Some large or old systems use general-purpose mainframe computers or minicomputers.

USER INTERFACES

54

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


User interfaces for embedded systems vary widely, and thus deserve some special comment. User interface is the ultimate aim for an embedded module as to the user to check the output with complete convenience. One standard interface, widely used in embedded systems, uses two buttons (the absolute minimum) to control a menu system (just to be clear, one button should be "next menu entry" the other button should be "select this menu entry"). Another basic trick is to minimize and simplify the type of output. Designs sometimes use a status light for each interface plug, or failure condition, to tell what failed. A cheap variation is to have two light bars with a printed matrix of errors that they select- the user can glue on the labels for the language that he speaks. For example, most small computer printers use lights labeled with stick-on labels that can be printed in any language. In some markets, these are delivered with several sets of labels, so customers can pick the most comfortable language. In many organizations, one person approves the user interface. Often this is a customer, the major distributor or someone directly responsible for selling the system. PLATFORM There are many different CPU architectures used in embedded designs such as ARM, MIPS, Coldfire/68k, PowerPC, X86, PIC, 8051, Atmel AVR, H8, SH, V850, FR-V, M32R etc. This in contrast to the desktop computer market, which as of this writing (2003) is limited to just a few competing architectures, mainly the Intel/AMD x86, and the Apple/Motorola/IBM PowerPC, used in the Apple Macintosh. With the growing acceptance of Java in this field, there is a tendency to even further eliminate the dependency on specific CPU/hardware (and OS) requirements.

55

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


Standard PC/104 is a typical base for small, low-volume embedded and ruggedized system design. These often use DOS, Linux or an embedded real-time operating system such as QNX or Inferno. A common configuration for very-high-volume embedded systems is the system on a chip, an application-specific integrated circuit, for which the CPU was purchased as intellectual property to add to the IC's design. A related common scheme is to use a field-programmable gate array, and program it with all the logic, including the CPU. Most modern FPGAs are designed for this purpose. TOOLS Like typical computer programmers, embedded system designers use compilers, assemblers, and debuggers to develop embedded system software. However, they also use a few tools that are unfamiliar to most programmers. Software tools can come from several sources:

Software companies that specialize in the embedded market. Ported from the GNU software development tools. Sometimes, development tools for a personal computer can be used if the embedded

processor is a close relative to a common PC processor. Embedded system designers also use a few software tools rarely used by typical computer programmers. One common tool is an "in-circuit emulator" (ICE) or, in more modern designs, an embedded debugger. This debugging tool is the fundamental trick used to develop embedded code. It replaces or plugs into the microprocessor, and provides facilities to quickly load and debug experimental code in the system. A small pod usually provides the special electronics to 56

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


plug into the system. Often a personal computer with special software attaches to the pod to provide the debugging interface. Another common tool is a utility program (often home-grown) to add a checksum or CRC to a program, so it can check its program data before executing it. An embedded programmer that develops software for digital signal processing often has a math workbench such as MathCad or Mathematica to simulate the mathematics. Less common are utility programs to turn data files into code, so one can include any kind of data in a program. A few projects use Synchronous programming languages for extra reliability or digital signal processing. DEBUGGING Debugging is usually performed with an in-circuit emulator, or some type of debugger that can interrupt the microcontroller's internal microcode. The microcode interrupt lets the debugger operate in hardware in which only the CPU works. The CPU-based debugger can be used to test and debug the electronics of the computer from the viewpoint of the CPU. This feature was pioneered on the PDP-11. As the complexity of embedded systems grows, higher level tools and operating systems are migrating into machinery where it makes sense. For example, cell phones, personal digital assistants and other consumer computers often need significant software that is purchased or provided by a person other than the manufacturer of the electronics. In these systems, an open programming environment such as Linux, OSGi or Embedded Java is required so that the third-party software provider can sell to a large market. OPERATING SYSTEM 57

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


Embedded systems often have no operating system, or a specialized embedded operating system (often a real-time operating system), or the programmer is assigned to port one of these to the new system. BUILT- IN SELF- TEST Most embedded systems have some degree or amount of built-in self-test. There are several basic types. 1. Testing the computer. 2. Test of peripherals. 3. Tests of power. 4. Communication tests. 5. Cabling tests. 6. Rigging tests. 7. Consumables test. 8. Operational test. 9. Safety test.

START UP All embedded systems have start-up code. Usually it disables interrupts, sets up the electronics, tests the computer (RAM, CPU and software), and then starts the application code. 58

SCADA SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTED AND SUBSTATION AUTOMATION


Many embedded systems recover from short-term power failures by restarting (without recent self-tests). Restart times under a tenth of a second are common. Many designers have found a few LEDs useful to indicate errors (they help troubleshooting). A common scheme is to have the electronics turn on all of the LED(s) at reset (thereby proving that power is applied and the LEDs themselves work), whereupon the software changes the LED pattern as the Power-On Self Test executes. After that, the software may blink the LED(s) or set up light patterns during normal operation to indicate program execution progress or errors. This serves to reassure most technicians/engineers and some users. An interesting exception is that on electric power meters and other items on the street, blinking lights are known to attract attention and vandalism. 5.8 COMPONENTS USED
