DESIGN OF FMS CONTROL SYSTEMS

Abstract

This paper addresses the development of a model for FMS control systems. The FMS control systems exercise their control by tracking the states of the parts. Part state transition diagram is defined and derived to express part states and their transition from process plan. Also, the methods to generate/exchange messages between shop- and workstation-level control systems are specified using "part state transition".
