Abstract

It is a time-consuming work to develop a control software for AGVS considering different physical arrangements and transport requirements in automated manufacturing systems. An integrated software environment is suggested to support the development of the control software by utilizing a simulation software which imitates changes in the target shop floor. First, the basic functions of the controller are defined and interactions between modules(function) are identified to enhance the modularity of the controller. Prototype software is developed for the simulation station and the control station, respectively, which are connected with each other by a communication link to transmit predefined messages.
