Hierarchical-Modular Control for the Prototype of a Flexible Manufacturing Cell

Resumen: This work presents the implementation of a Hierarchical-Modular Control architecture for the prototype of a Flexible Manufacturing Cell. Finite-state automata are used for the modelling of the cell, Supervisory Control Theory is employed to restrict its operation and control architecture for product recipes definition. Given monolithic supervisors that guarantee a safe operation of the prototype, product recipes are added in order to resemble a Flexible Manufacturing Cell capable of producing different products with minimal modifications of the control architecture.
