IBM102f100EthernetServerAdapterConverged Plantwide Ethernet Overview Executive Summary Faced with internal pressures to cut costs and external demands for better products and services, manufacturers are realizing the business benefits of converged Manufacturing and Enterprise networks, such as the following Globalize operations through IT integration with Industrial Automation and Control Systems, enabling plant to business network convergence, thus driving strategic business decisions that are backed by real time data from IACS. Visibility into the IACS for optimized supply chain management. Provide visibility into the plant floor for optimized supply chain management. Improve operational costs and efficiency through ease of use features and capabilities of common tools that improve productivity for plant maintenance and engineering personnel. Reduce mean time to repair MTTR and increase overall equipment effectiveness OEE through secure remote access for employees and partners. Mitigate risks by improving network uptime and equipment availability with industry leading security features and a defense in depth approach that protect critical manufacturing assets. Shorten lead times of deploying new products as communication and collaboration between business decision makers and plant personnel become richer and easier through converged networks. Reduced costs and improved asset utilization by relying on standard Ethernet and IP networking technology for IACS networks, such as personnel training, spares and development tools. Wrestling Total Edition 2009 there. Simplified management through better integration with Industrial Automation and Control System applications and use of remote management capabilities. Realize productivity improvements as ready to deploy collaboration technology voice over IP phones and IP security cameras become more common in IACS networks. The key industrial Ethernet applications are Industrial Automation and Control Systems IACS networks. For the purpose of this Design and Implementation Guide DIG, the term IACS is generically used to represent industrial systems such as Industrial Automation and Control Systems, Process Automation System, Process Control System, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. IACS benefit greatly from the transition to modern Ethernet and IP networking technologies from the vendor optimized networks typically used in the past. Phantasy Star Iv Rom Editor Tools. New services and streamlined efficiency result when the information contained within the IACS is available and shared throughout the larger enterprise. Access to existing manufacturing information may be gated by disparate, proprietary, and closed systems as the move to open systems continues. Manufacturers and their industrial suppliers are discovering that standard communication and uniform networking of an IACS is the key to optimized services, greater visibility, and lower total cost of ownership TCO. Procite 5.0 Download more. They are starting to embrace standard information technology, particularly standard Ethernet and standard IP, for IACS networking environments. Although IACS vendors recognize that Ethernet and the IP protocol suite are the de facto networking standards in IACS environments, full adoption of standard Ethernet and IP is still very much a work in progress. The pace of progress can be attributed to the aversion to disrupting existing systems, the accounting realities of fully depreciated assets, legacy migration and the general ebb and flow of manufacturing investment cycles. Despite these challenges, industrial Ethernet is being deployed today on a broad scale. The rate of global adoption will continue to increase with greater application and end device support from an increasing number of industrial equipment suppliers offering industrial Ethernet products. Cisco and Rockwell Automation believe standard Ethernet and IP networking technology offers value inside industrial operations when the technology is part of larger integrated, IACS architectures. Cisco calls this the Ethernet to the Factory Ett. P6130-600x600.jpg' alt='IBM 10/100 Ethernet Server Adapter' title='IBM 10/100 Ethernet Server Adapter' />F architecture.

The purpose of the CPw. E architecture, a set of manufacturing focused reference architectures, is to help accelerate the successful deployment of standard networking technologies and convergence of manufacturing and enterprisebusiness networks. This solution architecture and relevant design and implementation guidelines will help provide confidence and background necessary to successfully deploy standard networking technologies and integrate IACS and business networks. This CPw. E solution architecture must be tailored to support IACS. By adopting the solution architecture, the manufacturing process will operate at higher levels of performance, efficiency and uptime than under the previous solutions. At the same time, the solution must also safely and securely integrate the IACS into the broader manufacturing environment only at this point will all the benefits be available to the manufacturing enterprise.

Introduction Description and Justification Manufacturing companies are increasingly expanding their global operations to address new opportunities and reduce operational costs. They are also seeking to continuously improve efficiency and drive down costs for existing facilities and processes. In fact, a recent study by Aberdeen May 2. Achieving these goals of globalization and operations excellence requires increased connectivity between IACS and business systems for real time visibility to information and effective collaboration to Ensure consistent quality and performance across global operations Balance manufacturing with demand to optimize material usage and asset utilization Improve and meet regulatory compliance Implement more flexible and agile manufacturing operations to respond to rapidly changing market conditions Meet demanding requirements and metrics for on time delivery through reduced MTTR and increased OEE Reduce the cost of design, deployment, and support of manufacturing and IT systems at global manufacturing plants. Improve response to events that occur on the plant floor, regardless of location IACS manufacturers are currently falling short of these objectives. The key to resolving this problem is better access to information. With a constant flow of data, companies can develop more efficient ways to connect globally with suppliers, employees, and partners, and to more effectively meet the needs of end customers.

Although these legacy industrial systems are functional, they are costly to maintain, difficult to connect, and slow to evolve. With their IACS optimized protocols, specific operating requirements, and separate staffs, manufacturers were also struggling to evolve. Whether their IACS is discrete, process, batch, or hybrid, manufacturers need their systems to interact in real time with the other enterprise applications, supply chain partners, and end customers. To accomplish this, manufacturers are converging their IACS networks with their enterprise networks.
