ABSTRACT:
A work station controller module for use in an industrial manufacturing system is described. The manufacturing system is hierarchically organized. A superior level is covered by a host machine, a lower level by automation modules that fulfill the manufacturing and transport primitives. The controller module receives higher level commands for decomposition into lower level commands. It also receives lower level status signals for aggregation into higher level status signals. It also exchanges product exchange requests and product exchange acknowledgements with a product transfer system. It further receives operation names and process data from a product development system and status aggregation rules and command decomposition rules from a product preparation system. These rules govern the decomposition/aggregation cited earlier.
