The fault-tolerance study in this paper presents the cascading of two independent workcells where each controller must be able to handle the load of both cells in case of failure of the other one. The intercommunication is completely wireless between the cells and this feature is investigated. The model incorporates unmodified 802.11b and 802.11g for communication. Sensors send sampled data to both controllers and the controllers to exchange a watchdog. The fault-free and faulty models are both simulated using OPNET Network Modeler. External interference on the critical intercommunication link is also investigated. Results of simulations are presented based on a 95% confidence analysis, guaranteeing correct system performance.展开更多

Moreover, it is compatible with the protocol used by the existing Ethernet controllers for conventional datagram traffic and thus standard Ethernet stations can be used in the system without any modification. The paper describes the protocol in detail and analyses the maximum delivery delay for real time traffic and the efficiency of the channel.展开更多

The pulsed power consists of a voltage rise time of less than 50 ns and charging energy to 1.0 J/pulse; also, the pulse control area includes pulse interval pulse shot number, output voltage. To achieve this system, a pulsed power system exists including software running on PC, universal serial bus （UgB~ for connection, and FPGA controller. Using the software for complex control of pulsed power will enable expansion into various fields with easy operation.展开更多
