possiblethat the unconventional operating system could expose a SCADA system to undocumentedvulnerabilities and exploits. The PanelView HMI is configured with the FactoryTalk View Studiosoftware and has SCADA features configured for data acquisition and control of an Allen BradleyMicrologix 1000 PLC through an RS-232 serial connection. The communications configurationfor this HMI application is unique because it allows for assessments of a SCADA system wherethe PLC is wired through a serial connection opposed to Ethernet.Summary of Student InvolvementThis project started with the announcement of Enhancing Undergraduate Research Experiences &Creative Activities (EURECA)’s Faculty and Student Team (FAST) project/grant announcementswhere

the variation or problem. In measurement phase the variables that are measured could bein the form various analog and digital signals. For example analog variables are speed (rpm, rps,and m/s), torque (N-m, ft-lb), input power (W, kW), output load (W, kW, and HP), temperature(°C, °F), controlled variable (frequency, f) of the induction motor etc. The digital signals areON/OFF, events, YES/NO, motor start (START SW), motor stop (STOP SW) signals etc. Theseanalog and digital variables are converted in to standard currents and voltage signals. Generally,these standard analog signals are 4 – 20 mA DC current, 1 – 5 VDC or 0 to 10 VDC voltage anddigital signals are 0 and 5 VDC, 0 and 10 VDC and or 0 and 115 VAC and so on.

/Projects/NSF DUE9952292/ProjectGUISE/Project_GUISE.htmThe various hardware building blocks of the Project GUISE instrument are:1. A variable-gain (×1, ×5, ×10, and ×50) instrumentation amplifier. The instrumentation amplifier has maximal input-bias currents of 2nA and input-offset voltages of 150µV. Independent adjustments for maximizing common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) are incorporated for voltage gains of ×1, ×5, and ×10; measured CMRR exceeds 90dB at 100Hz.2. An electronic cold-junction compensator (LT1025) for thermocouples. Types R, S, J, K, T, and E thermocouples are supported. The compensated thermocouple voltage is amplified by a dc-coupled amplifier with gain of ×50.3. Two independent variable-gain ac/dc-coupled single-ended

withthe BeagleBone is that there is no one depository of knowledge, and in that regard, it mirrors thatof the Raspberry Pi. The student had to look at the boot-up configuration files, research the alsa-sound libraries and then had to merge this information with their own application.The hardware implementation is fairly simple, using a pair of Logitech S-150 speakers, just plugthis into the USB port on the BeagleBone (see Figure 5). The student then chose to modify theuEnv.txt (boot-up) configuration file to disable the HDMI interface and enable the USBspeakers.

The calculated maximum current draw over the USB connection is about 114.71mA, sothat the microcontroller and all attached components are well within the limits of the USBconnection. This project is utilizing three of the digital outputs and two of the analog inputs.Each of the 14 digital pins can sink or source a maximum of 40mA. Each of the digital pins willsource about 11.5mA to the connected devices. This is well within the limits of the ATmega 328with plenty of room to spare. The analog inputs provide ten bits of resolution through theATmega328’s analog to digital converter. This allows the five volt reference to be divided into1024 steps.
