The study of distributed manufacturing control system self-configuration

摘要

The paper describes a three-stage framework for modelling of a discrete manufacturing system. It presents the self-configuration procedure for a distributed manufacturing control system with use of this framework. The procedure allows for the construction of the plug and produce distributed manufacturing control system, which requires the integration of unified, easy to reconfigure cooperative agents. Arena simulation environment (by Rockwell Automation) is used for examining the procedure.
