Overview Fault Tolerant Ethernet: High Availability Ethernet for Industrial Applications

The evolution of open Ethernet technology has introduced high-performance, low-cost networking to industrial plants. Until now, providing the robustness of industrial control networks with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Ethernet equipment remained a major hurdle. Honeywell unites the benefits of Ethernet technology with their expertise in designing robust networks to deliver the patented Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) solution. The FTE design is an advanced networking solution using COTS equipment, delivering increased system availability while reducing commissioning and maintenance costs. FTE Release 100 provides a robust 100 Mbps Ethernet network for Honeywell's PlantScape® and TotalPlant® Solution (TPS) systems, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Fault Tolerant Ethernet in the Honeywell System Architecture

Conventional Ethernet redundancy schemes typically employ two separate Ethernet networks, with each node (server or station) connected to both networks. If there is a communication failure, the time for a node to switch to the other network can range from under 10 seconds to over 30 seconds, depending upon the network complexity and the equipment used.

The FTE solution, however, employs a single network and does not require a server or station to re-establish a network connection. As a result, the switchover time is much faster - one second! By providing more communication paths between nodes, FTE also tolerates more faults, including all single faults and many multiple faults. In addition, FTE is transparent to higher-level applications, which benefit from the high network availability FTE provides, without requiring any additional software configuration. Normal Ethernet nodes (non-FTE) can also connect to an FTE network and benefit from a more available communications environment than conventional Ethernet redundancy schemes offer.

FTE Network Architecture

An FTE network interconnects node clusters. A node is a networked device used in process control applications, such as a PlantScape station, or a TPS Global User Station (GUS). A cluster is a set of nodes with high intercommunication. Such nodes are typically involved with the same process unit, for example, control servers, history servers, operator workstations, and supervisory controllers.

The basic FTE network architecture is two parallel tree hierarchies of switches and cables, joined by a crossover cable to form a single network. The trees are designated A and B; their separate identity is maintained by color-coding and tagging cables, switches, and FTE node ports.

An FTE node contains FTE software and two Network Interface Controllers (NIC), one to connect to each tree. FTE is an option for most Honeywell system nodes (see their respective specifications). FTE software can also be installed on any other node having 2 identical Network Interface Controllers in a Windows 2000 PC that together have been certified for FTE.

A typical FTE network contains several pairs of cluster switches interconnected by a pair of backbone switches, as shown in Figure 2. A small FTE network could have just one set of cluster switches, while a very large FTE network could have an additional level of switches between the cluster and backbone switches. The FTE nodes form a fault-tolerant community whose members can communicate as long as at least one path exists between them. The maximum number of FTE nodes in a community is 511. In addition, up to 511 Ethernet (non-FTE) nodes may be singly connected to the FTE network. The FTE nodes detect these Ethernet nodes and will use any available path to communicate with them. FTE can operate under either Windows 2000 Workgroups or Domains. The Domain Controller must be an Ethernet node since that function executes on a PC with a single Ethernet port.

Besides the fault tolerant communications driver, FTE software includes management modules for reporting the status of an FTE node to other nodes. These FTE management modules can also be installed on Ethernet nodes to create monitored Ethernet nodes, whose status can be reported to FTE nodes and can be displayed along with the status of FTE nodes by the System Management Display.

A firewall or router is recommended to connect an FTE community to any other network, e.g., the Plant Information Network (PIN). FTE must be a separate subnet. A firewall or router is not needed if the FTE community is isolated. Honeywell’s network services organization can provide consulting, installation, and support services for firewalls, routers, and other network components. They also can certify additional PCs and network equipment that may be used in an FTE network application.

FTE Components

FTE networks can be implemented with copper or fiber optic cabling, or a combination. A multimode fiber optic cable can reach up to 2 km (1.2 mi); copper cable up to 100 m (300 ft). FTE network equipment must be selected with corresponding copper or fiber interfaces. Typically, the backbone connections will be multimode fiber optic. While cluster cabling is normally copper, fiber optic media converters can be used when a longer distance link is required from a switch to a node. Only fiber optic and STP (shielded twisted pair) copper cables are offered by Honeywell, in order to meet the specifications of equipment suppliers for reliable operation in high noise industrial environments.

Figure 3: Basic Fault Tolerant Ethernet Network Equipment

Honeywell offers and supports the finest network equipment to ensure reliable network operation, and tests with Honeywell releases, revisions of that equipment by their suppliers. Alternative equipment or equipment for special applications such as long distance links, can be used if certified for FTE. A certification is valid only for the specific releases tested; subsequent revisions require re-certification.

NE-EMCB01 Bracket** Mounts 2 NE-EMC001 media converters and power supplies between 2 stacked NE-SWxx01 switches.

* Two are required at a node (one each for Tree A and Tree B). If that node connects to copper switches (NE-SWSB01/NE-SWSX01), then two more are required at the switches (one each for Tree A and Tree B).

** Example: a cluster of 10 nodes with 1 remote node, with the A and B NE-SWSB01 switches stacked (mounted one on top of the other). Connecting the remote node will require a pair of NE-EMC001 converters at the remote node, plus another pair at the switches- that pair can be mounted between the switches using the NE-EMCB01 bracket. For several remote nodes, probably the bracket would not be used, as the user may prefer to mount all converters together rather than mount one pair between the switches and the rest somewhere else.

Firewall Design Service NS-FDS000 Specifications Key Firewall Features

• Source and Destination Filtering – Controls which nodes on each side of the firewall may forward or receive packets through the firewall.

• Protocol Filtering – Controls which network protocols are allowed to pass through the firewall, in ether direction.

• State Control of Communication – Controls which systems on each side of the firewall may initiate communications between networks.

• Intrusion Detection – detects an attack, disconnects the session, logs the attack, and notifies the appropriate network security personnel.

• Address Translation – Masks actual PCN addressing from systems outside the PCN. This not only adds security; it also allows flexibility in PCN addressing.

Deliverables

Hardware/software: Honeywell will provide one firewall device with the capability of up to 50 connections. A one-year maintenance agreement with the firewall manufacturer is included.

Firewall design to meet customer security requirements: Honeywell will study customer requirements to complete a comprehensive design, including reliability and capacity requirements and Service Level Agreements.

Order all equipment required: During the design phase, a list of required equipment is generated. Honeywell then orders this equipment, and tracks it for timely delivery. Honeywell will specify the hardware required and be responsible for software-hardware compatibility and feature requirements.

Stage and configure equipment to emulate customer environment: Honeywell will receive all equipment and verify that it is operational. Engineers will simulate the customer site’s environment in a lab environment. Engineers will stage and configure all firewall parameters on all devices to work within customer requirements. Security checks performed will ensure that customer assets are not vulnerable to any unauthorized access. Once testing of the equipment and configurations is complete, the equipment will be shipped to the customer site. When the equipment arrives, the customer may call the Honeywell Solution Support Center (SSC) / Remote Service Center (RSC) for phone support while installing the equipment and bringing it on-line.

Manage the connection (optional): Once the connection between the PCN and the PIN is provisioned, it can be moved to the operations group for management. Honeywell’s SSC/Network Group (NG) offers additional services such as Availability Monitoring, Configuration Management, Fault & Vendor Management, Intrusion Detection and Performance Management, under separate contract.

After Installation Support: Within the first 30 days, the Honeywell SSC/NG will be available to help troubleshoot, isolate faults, and make configuration corrections to the Firewall.



Deliverables (cont.)

Configuration Change Support: Once the firewall is installed, there may be a situation that arises requiring a configuration change to allow or deny additional connectivity. For the first 60 days, Honeywell will accept configuration change requests.

Install Customer Equipment On-site (Optional): If required by the project, Honeywell can send an engineer to the customer site to install the equipment and do the final testing and implementation, under separate contract.

Scope limitations

• Honeywell services can design, configure, and implement security firewalls from a small LAN-to-LAN connection up through a complete Enterprise solution. The Firewall Design Service is a “starter level” service for a small LAN-to-LAN connection limited to creating a secure firewall connection for a PCN with a maximum of 20 nodes. For larger scale firewall needs or additional services, please contact your Honeywell Sales Representative or: Attention: Bret Popp MS AZ15/R12 Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions – Service 2500 W. Union Hill Drive Phoenix, AZ 85027 Bret Popp @ 602-313-5408 or [email protected]:

• Onsite installation by a Honeywell engineer is not included. This option can be added (priced separately based on site location and accessibility).

• Configuration Change requests for the first 60 days are limited to 8 hours of support. Addition 4-hour increments can be purchased or a management / maintenance support agreement can be purchased through Honeywell.

• Hardware: Honeywell will provide a firewall with the capability of handling up to 50 connections. No other hardware or software other than the firewall is included within this package.

Customer responsibilities

The customer must supply: • A secure place for the firewall equipment, such as a cabinet or rack. • A single connection to the outside network within 15 feet of where the firewall

equipment will reside. • A single connection to the PCN within 15 feet of where the firewall equipment will

reside. • All power and cooling for the firewall equipment. Typically two standard 110V

power outlets are needed for the firewall equipment. • UPS power, if needed.




Topologies and Configuration Examples The following examples illustrate typical component model numbers for an FTE network. They do not include software components and are not intended as the basis for placing an order.

Figure 4 shows the simplest FTE network, which consists of one cluster with a pair of switches, a crossover cable, and cabling to a total of 12 or fewer FTE and Ethernet nodes. In this example, all the distances from nodes to switches are less than 100 meters, so STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) equipment and cabling can be used throughout. Figure 4: Minimum FTE Network

Figure 5 shows a small FTE network with three clusters, each with 12 or fewer FTE and Ethernet nodes. Since there are multiple clusters, they are linked by backbone switches. Again, since all the distances from nodes to switches are less than 100 meters, STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) equipment and cabling can be used throughout.

Figure 6 illustrates a large FTE network with 15-20 clusters of various sizes, of which 3 are shown. To accommodate a network of this size, the backbone switches have been expanded with additional units. Some of the clusters are located more than 100 meters from the backbone switches, so fiber optic cabling and equipment are used at this level.

Figure 6: Large FTE Network Some clusters have more than 12 FTE and Ethernet nodes, so the switches in those clusters have been expanded with additional units. The distances from nodes to the cluster switches are less than 100 meters, so STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cabling can be used. Also shown is a remote FTE node, which is connected to the backbone switches via a pair of Ethernet media converters. Ethernet media converters are an economical solution for a remote node.
