Increasing automation and highly flexible manufacturing processes cause increasing complexity for manufacturing system. FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) is an approach to solve this problem. Since the elements of the FMS and manufacturing process performance are closely interrelated, the application of simple modeling and emulation techniques in the planning stages for...
An EMCON-D distributed process controller is evaluated
for control and monitoring of an experimental doubly-fed
machine system. A closed-loop control circuit is
implemented to operate the doubly-fed machine with
constant rotor current. A standard PID algorithm as well
as an algorithm tailored to the doubly-fed machine are
evaluated.
The Control-Oriented Local Area Network (COLAN) is a
distributed control system for a series of networked
microcontrollers, which has been under development at Oregon
State University since 1986. A reliable master controller, functioning
both as a task scheduler and as a network controller, is
required to allow users to perform...
