Virtualizing the Network to enable a Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI)Odinot Stanislas
Une très intéressante présentation autour de la virtualisation des réseaux contenant des explications détaillées autour des VLAN, VXLAN, mais aussi d'NVGRE et surtout de GENEVE (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) supporté pour la première fois sur la dernière carte 40 GbE d'Intel (XL710)
The document describes the multi-layer fiber network installed at Bethlehem Steel Corporation's Sparrows Point Division Slab Group. The network was designed with isolated integration to meet several base operational requirements: handling multiple data types while keeping their integrity and security separate; flexibility to expand without limitations; and connectivity across the entire network. It achieved this through an architectural approach using Cisco routers and switches in interconnect cabinets to create separate VLANs for different data types covering the Slab Group area. This allowed a robust but cost-effective solution to provide real-time process data to local operations.

IEC 61850 is a global standard for communication in substations that defines an expandable data model and services to transfer data between devices to improve interoperability. It uses Ethernet and TCP/IP for communication and defines Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) for high-speed peer-to-peer communication between intelligent electronic devices in the substation. GOOSE uses publisher-subscriber messaging to transmit any process data in real-time to enable fast protection schemes and reduce wiring. The standard also defines a configuration language to facilitate efficient engineering of interoperable systems.

23. Points List
Include a points list in every BAS specification
Specify in points list what points are to be
displayed in graphics
Points list should include what points shall be
alarmed (events)
Points list should include alarm types (event
classes)
Points list should also include any trending
requirements
25. Equipment Integration
Many manufactures are offering BACnet
interfaces (lighting, VFDs, chillers, boilers
ect.)
Many of these interfaces are protocol
gateways
Beware! Ask to see a demo
Possible alarm issues
Many interfaces are not BTL tested
30. Dealing With IT Staff
Involve IT early
Recommend control system be placed on a VLAN
Advise IT department of possible traffic issues
Ask for IP addresses early
Have IT staff designate IP address range for each
building
Decide on security measures and system
monitoring
31. Lessons Learned
Not all BACnet control systems are created equal
Thoroughly plan prior to implementation
Hire a consultant to help develop an initial plan
and specification
Prequalify all vendors
Control systems are only as good as their local
representation
System commissioning should include verifying
correct BACnet configuration details
