Abstract

This paper presents a HILS(Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation) approach for the verification of the OHT (Overhead Hoist Transport) controller in a semiconductor FAB. Since hundreds of OHTs can run simultaneously on the OHT network of a FAB, the full verification of the OHT controller is very essential to guarantee the stableness of the material handling system. The controller needs to fully consider not only normal situations but also abnormal situations that are difficult to predict. For the verification of the controller, we propose a HILS approach using a virtual environment including OHTs on a rail network, which can generate abnormal situations. The proposed HILS approach has been implemented and tested with various examples.

본 논문에서는 반도체 FAB에서의 OHT의 제어기를 검증하는 HIL(Hardware-In-the-Loop) 시뮬레이션 방법론을 제안한다. 반도체 FAB의 OHT 네트워크에는 수많은 OHT들이 동시에 운영될 수 있으므로 OHT 제어기에 대한 완벽한 검증은 물류 설비 안정성을 보장하는 데 매우 중요하다. 제어기는 정상적인 상황에 대해서 뿐 아니라 예측하기 힘든 비정상적인 상황에 대해서도 고려하여 설계되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제어기의 검증을 위해 비정상 상황을 생성할 수 있는 레일 네트워크와 OHT를 포함한 가상 환경을 사용하는 HIL 시뮬레이션 방법론을 제안한다. 제안되는 HIL 시뮬레이션 방법은 구현되었고, 다양한 예제를 통해 테스트 되었다.
