Abstract

An Industrial firewall is a system used to supervise and regulate traffic to and from a network for the purpose of securing appliances on a network. It analyzes the data passing through it to an already defined surveillance criteria or protocols, discarding data that does not meet the protocol’s requirements. In effect, it is a filter preventing undesirable network traffic and selectively limiting the type of transmission that occurs between a secured transmission line. In this research paper a SCADA based Firewall is implemented for protection of the data transmission to a PLC, against external hacking devices. This firewall is virtually exposed to several external hackers and the degree of vulnerability is carefully studied, in order to develop an ideal Firewall.

Abstract

Obesity is a global epidemic, often considered an impending disaster for the world’s population. Healthcare organizations and professionals repeatedly emphasize the negative impacts on obesity in the development of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension and diabetes. The continuous monitoring of physiological parameters; namely SpO2, blood pressure, body temperature and pulse rate are imperative for obese adult patients. IoT is a dynamic field, used extensively in all fields: agriculture, automobile, manufacturing and retail industry primarily for automated remote real-time monitoring. This paper focuses on the implementation of IoT in the healthcare industry for monitoring and evaluating health conditions of obese adults, along with emphasis on the importance of medical data storage. Furthermore, a device is developed with a novel design and system, which not only allows real-time monitoring but also the storage of medical records for multiple patients simultaneously. The device facilitates measurements of these parameters using an Arduino environment and then transmits the data onto an IoT dashboard using a Wi-fi module for remote monitoring for healthcare professionals. The main aim is to provide a suitable device recommended by doctors for patients suffering from obesity, such that doctors can examine patient’s health trends over a period from the stored data for monitoring any changes that could be a symptom of an underlying unnoticed health condition.

Abstract

The Proportional Integral Derivative Controller is a typical controller implemented frequently in many services and integrating the Smith predictor is an extremely useful control system structure for processes with dead time. This paper has evaluated two control schemes with the modified structures of the Smith predictor incorporating dead time compensators and conventional controllers for first order process with dead time. The disturbance response and the set point response for both the control schemes were decoupled from each other. Therefore two degrees of freedom control design was formulated, and hence the responses could be designed separately. The two control schemes have mainly two variables to be adjusted that decide the robustness and closed-loop behaviour. This paper also contains the calculation of various parameters that were used in each scheme. A comparison of the two control schemes along with the general Smith predictor control scheme was made using Simulink/Matlab. The conclusion is the second control scheme gave better response overall for the processes with dead time having dead time uncertainty and for the processes with dead time without dead time uncertainty.
