Performance Evaluation And Sequence Control Of An Automatedmanufacturing System, Vijaykumar D. Desai
Performance Evaluation And Sequence Control Of An Automatedmanufacturing System, Vijaykumar D. Desai
Theses
In an automated sequential manufacturing system Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are widely used. As the control specification varies, the control software needs to be rewritten to accommodate the new specification. Since PLC has high flexibility, one can update the current system while it is running thereby making easier implementation. In order to design flexible, reusable and maintainable control software, a good modeling tool is required. Petri nets are such a tool. Which facilitates analysis of behavioral properties, performance evaluation, and systematic construction of discrete event simulators and controllers. In this thesis a system with one robot and five sequential work …
