implementation of control and supervision of cyber physical systems interfaced through plcs with attack and fault analysis8652

Project TitleProject Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are employed in nearly every field of life. They have easy to operate approaches. CPS form the backbone of industry. Now a days, industry is expanding rapidly and the need of a fully automated and least vulnerable cyber physical systems are the ultimate requirement of this expansion. The industry is moving towards its new version ‘Industry 4.0’. Whether it is a car or some large industrial plant, everything is utilizing control systems for automation. Having the mathematical model of a plant coupled with its control system, one can control its behavior. Thus, it is very useful to model our plant to automate it.

It is aimed at interfacing LabVIEW with PLC so that we can implement observer using state space theory in LabVIEW, controller in PLC which will be connected to sensors and actuators, so that we may get a step closer with real industry practices. Moreover, it is aimed to involve deep learning in parallel with observer so that we may aim at dynamic thresholding for attack and fault detection. Designing of observers sensitive to a particular attack; aiming at development of several observers in a system in order to improve resilience of system to cyber-attacks and also to develop schemes for fault and attack isolation.

Project Objectives

• Building a comprehensive understanding of interfacing sensors and  actuators.
• Understanding, formulation and modification of mathematical models to be used in study for plants control, deep learning, attacks and faults.
• Building centralized and distributed control schemes for control of cyber physical systems using PLC’s.
• Developing observers through LabVIEW.
• Data-analysis based deductions from experiments focusing on limitations of different schemes

Project Implementation Method

It is aimed at interfacing LabVIEW with PLC so that we can implement observer using state space theory in LabVIEW, A controller in PLC which will be connected to sensors and actuators, so that we may get a step closer with real industry practices. Moreover, it is aimed to involve deep learning in parallel with observer so that we may aim at dynamic thresholding for attack and fault detection. Designing of observers sensitive to a particular attack; aiming at development of several observers in a system in order to improve resilience of system to cyber-attacks and also to develop schemes for fault and attack isolation.

Benefits of the Project

Industrial systems are very critical and have a very large run time in which we cannot validate all the things going on in that process.

As we are Implementing the Control and Supervision of a general Cyber Physical Systems interfaced through PLC’s with Attack and Fault Analysis our prototype can be used in many industrial areas to implement a secure system.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

A three-tank system prototype integrated with sensors, actuaters, and pumps are used. The sensors and actuators are connected cyber-physicaly. This mechanism is implemented through computer algorithm to draw the generalized observations and conclusions. 

In this cyber-physical system, physical and software components are deeply intertwined, able to operate on different spatial and temporal scales, exhibit multiple and distinct behavioral modalities, and interact with each other in ways that change with context.
