Abstract

Manufacturing Systems are becoming more and more complex and therefore it becomes a hard task to control them efficiently and in real time. Given a FMS model and a specification of the desired behaviour the goal of our work is to find an appropriate distributed controller that will perform in closed-loop with the engines according to the desired behaviour. In order to achieve this goal we model the FMS with Petri nets, for optimizing the system's behaviour and to eliminate the potential conflicts in sharing the system resources. Based on this Petri nets model, and according to the IEC 61499 standard specifications, we implement an RFID-based method to automatically determine the system configuration, along with a solution for optimum and distributed leading of product components. This paper presents some aspects related to the modelling process of the considered system, based on Petri nets and IEC 61499 Function Blocks.
