This article discusses methods for reducing cyber threats in the network interaction of industrial equipment under DCS control. It is assumed that the control and network circuits of the equipment use solutions based on the FPGA platform. Methods of protecting network messaging are proposed by replacing separate, specially allocated network segments with uncontrolled access with a hardware-protected network segment (PNS). The PNS consists of two units with FPGA Cyclone 10 LP 10CL025YU256C8G from INTEL. In addition, each unit has an RS-485 Transceiver for connection to the RS-485 network segment and two DS-link LVDS-based Transceivers. An encryption algorithm in PNS for each bit of the transmitted byte of RS-485 data is proposed, in contrast to the widely used block encryption algorithms. DS encoding was used when transmitting data inside the PNS. The presented research focuses on the development and analysis of an effective implementation of a real-time data encryption algorithm. An example of the formation of code sequences during data encryption is considered.

The development of a test version of the Hardware Security Module (HSM), presented in this article, solves the tasks of cyber protection of individual uncontrolled sections of the field-level communication network (RS-485, RS422) that are physically accessible to intruders. A cyber threat called man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack occurs for unprotected network segments. The attack is aimed at violating access control, confidentiality and integrity of the sender’s data on the network, which can lead to the replacement of malicious data and the failure of industrial equipment. A printed circuit board in form factor PC/104 was developed for testing the HSM_DNS module. The Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is selected as the control hardware platform. The choice of FPGA is justified by the need for HSM to work in real time, encoding the transmitted data according to the developed algorithm. In addition, the use of FPGA makes it possible to implement a non-standard data transfer protocol, which increases the security of the device. The article presents the results of the tests and their discussion.

The article deals with the interaction of mechatronic devices in real time through events and messages. The interaction of distributed network devices is necessary to coordinate their work, including synchronization when implementing a distributed algorithm. The approach in the development of a distributed control system (DCS) for mechatronic devices based on the IEC 61499 standard has been analyzed. Using only a LAN for interaction purposes is not always justified, since messages transmitted over a LAN do not provide transmission determinism. To eliminate this problem, a fast local network is needed, which would not utilize resources of the main computer and hardware (e.g., based on the model of terminal machines) to carry out a network communication. It is proposed to implement LAN controllers on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) platform. Data-strobe coding (DS coding) with a signal level of LVDS was used for keeping the transmitted data intact and improving the overall reliability of the systems. the complexity of the problem to be solved. The development of mechatronic components as network devices goes toward the unification of embedded computers on the proposed computing and communication services. Standards for the design of distributed control systems are being implemented, which determine the ideology of the interaction of a distributed algorithm of a technological problem.

The paper considers the structure and methods of creating powerful power converters with adjustable output parameters. To change the rotational speed of the shaft of asynchronous engine (AM/E), the method of amplitude modulation is proposed. To modify the engine torque, a method is used to change the capacitance of the capacitor of the PC resonant oscillatory circuit. As a result, the circuit load voltage changes. The proposed solution based on the method of the amplitude modulation with the use of powerful transistor converters makes it possible to amplify a sufficiently weak harmonic input signal (not more than 1.5 W) to tens and hundreds of kilowatts. The use of a two-unit oscillating circuit with a series and parallel capacitors as a part of the power converter allows obtaining an undistorted sinusoidal voltage at the output with amplitude and frequency adjustment. The digital control of key elements of the converter allows formalizing the task of monitoring and diagnostics of the electric drive, including the remote one.
