Abstract:
-
The Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (MEL) at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), has been conducting research on control of
mechanical systems for more than sixteen years. The Intelligent Systems
Division and the Manufacturing Systems Integration Division have been
working jointly for over a year to develop a reference architecture for
computer integrated control of mechanical systems, drawing on the best of
past work in both divisions. The architecture is not yet complete, and work
on the architecture is continuing. This report describes the architecture
in its current, incomplete state. The architecture is a hierarchical
control architecture aimed at the domain of discrete parts manufacturing,
including considerations of data systems, communications systems, planning,
resource allocation, real-time control, and error recovery.
