민첩생산의 필요성이 날로 증가하고 있는 생산환경 하에서 대표적인 자동생산시스템인 FMS의 효율적인 운영과 동시에 원격지에서의 FMS 모니터링 및 제어는 필수화되고 있다. 최근에 시뮬레이션을 기반으로 하는 가상생산의 개념이 일반화되고 이를 지원하는 다양한 정보기술의 발전에 따라 FMS에도 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 웹환경 하에서 실재 FMS와 이에 대응되는 가상 FMS를 통합함으로서 원격지에서의 효율적 운영을 지원하는 모니터링 및 제어시스템 구축방법을 소개하고자 한다. 또한 키트형 FMS와 이에 대한 가상 FMS 모델를 대상하여 적용한 결과를 소개하도록 한다.

In this paper, we are proposed an analysis method of the operation schedule in FMS using Time Petri Nets(TPN) unfolding. TPN's unfolding is one of the analysis methods after changed non-cyclic net from the concurrent net without to expand the state explosion. We are illustrated this proposed to analyze a schedule problem in Ratio-driven FMS modeling.

One of the important problems concerning the efficient operation of an automated manufacturing system is the flow control problem. Most research papers about scheduling and control of a FMS consider fabrication, machining and assembly independently. In this paper an effective flow control strategy for a FMS with an assembly subsystem which may be called FMAS (Flexible Machining and Assembly System) is designed using the operation-oriented and, combined Push and Pull control method. The flow control system to be described here could meet production demands with a minimum makespan while satisfying assigned due-dates and keeping a low volume of work-in-process at the same time. The control mechanism also considers machine failures and rush jobs.

In this paper, we proposed the representation method of specification and the control rules fork FMS by TPL. To increase productivity and resource utilization, it is desirable to have more active jobs in the system, but the more active jobs there are, the more easily deadlock occur. Therefore, it is very important that the real-time deadlock control to disable deadlock. In this paper, we performed the system modeling by the CROPN(Colored Resource -Oriented Petri Net) and the necessary -sufficient condition check to disable deadlock. We proposed the supervisory control system that can be the real-time monitoring for deadlock free through a necessary-sufficient condition by CROPN modelling, and designed the logic controller of the extended process using TPL.

There are studied on the evaluation of flexibility and design/operation of FMS. However. a new method that can assess the performance of FMS is propose in this study. To evalute the performance of an FMS the ordinary for total cost is not applied. Instead, a specially developed cost function is used to measure the performanced of proposed systems. The procedure is developed for deterministic variables cases. An FMS can produce various products systematically under computer control the evaluation of an FMS operation is not a simple task. The proposed procedure is done through computer simulation due to the complicated nature of the problem. A simulation model is developed using SIMAN and FORTRAN for practical application.

The Special Act on Safety Control for Infrastructure was enacted in 1995 to contribute to ensuring the public safety and welfare improvement of Korean people. In addition, the FMS has been developed and operated to manage facilities effectively. However, several problems of the FMS have also occurred. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the FMS and related systems scrutinizingly to suggest improvement directions such as (1) extension of the FMS into the national facility information management system including small-size facilities other than Types 1 and 2 facilities, (2) development and promote standardized inspection and diagnosis systems as per facility type, (3) development of the database utilization system including decision making support function for management body, and (4) providing the FMS performance improvements and stable operating environment utilizing latest information technologies. If the improvement directions suggested in this study are adopted, they can improve services for Korean people by providing facility safety and maintenance work parties with optimum information services.

This paper describes an intelligent control-based job scheduler, named ESIJOBS, for flexible manufacturing system. In order to construct rulebase of this system, traditional rules of job scheduling in FMS are examined and evaluated. This result and the repetitional simulations with graphic monitoring system are used to form the rulebase of ESIJOBS, which is composed of three parts:six part selection rules, four machine center selection rules, and twenty-one metarules. Appropriate scheduling rule sets are selected by this rulebase and manufacturing system status. The performances of all simulations are affected by random breakdowns of major FMS components during each simulation. Six criteria are used to evaluate the performance of each scheduling. The two modes of ESIJOBS are simulated and compared with combinational 24 rule-set simulations. In this comparison ESIJOBS dominated the other rule-set simulations and showed the most excellent performance particularly in three criteria.

Developing FMS controllers has been a difficult problem largely because of the variety of the system configuration. The purpose of this paper is to develop a method of building an FMS controller. The controller consists of control module and execution module. A hierarchically layered structure of these modules is proposed. The control module generates abstract-level execution requested by identifying a set of activities that can be executed without creating any irregular state. The execution module transmits the requests to physical device controllers and reports back the completion of the requests to the control module. Both of these two modules use Petri Net-based models. In this paper, a controllable Petri Net model is automatically synthesized from declarative specifications provided by a user. An execution Petri Net model for the execution module is designed to ensure the consistency between the control module and the real target system. The controller operates in MMS on TCP/IP and UNIX environment.

This paper presents a hierarchical real-time operation control and monitoring scheme of the FMS/CIM center which has been implemented at the Automation and Systems Research Institute of Seoul National University. The hierarchical structure of the whole scheme consists of three lavers. The upper layer is in charge of on-line scheduling, computer network control, shop-floor monitoring and command generation for AGV dispatching, machining, assembly, inspection, set-up, etc. The middle layer has six modules, which are installed in the FMS host computer with the upper layer and run on the multi-tasking basis. Each module is connected to one of six cell controllers distributed in the FMS model plant and transfers operation command down to each cell controller through the Ethernet/TCP-IP local area network. The lower layer is comprised of six cell control software modules for machining cell, assembly cell, inspection cell, set-up stations. AS/RS and AGV. Each cell controller reports the status of the manufacturing facilites to the middle layer as well as ecxecuting the appropriate sequence control of the manufacturing processes.

The development of automatic production systems has a trend toward Computer Integrated Manufacturing System(CIMS) in recent years. In hardware configuration, CIMS are composed of intelligent CAD/CAM work stations, multifunction CNC machining centers including material handling systems. The DNC systems present the key element of automation hierarchy in a FMS. A DNC system is one which connects a number of numerically-controlled machines to a common memory in a digital computer for part program storage with provision for on-demand distribution of part program data to machines using communication in hierarchical structure of central computer, control computer and cell controller. This paper describes the development of Behind-the-Tape-Reader(BTR) type DNC system using CYBER 180-830 as a central computer and IBM PC-386 cell control computer and NC lathe with FANUC 5T NC controller. In this system, the connection between central computer and cell control computer is done via RS-232C serial interface board, and the connection between cell control computer and FANUC 5T controller is done via parallel interface board. The software consists of two module, central computer communication module for NC program downloading and status uploading, NC machine running module for NC operating.
