Development of control model and system for AMS (Automated Manufacturing Systems) has long been interested by researchers. Presented in the paper is a systematic approach to constructing a Petri-nets(PNs) model of AMS and method for design a graphical model of a AMS by using a new modeling tool which is called PNs. So, the procedure of modeling in the AMS is the same as current practice of AMS design and is based on the IOM (Integrated Object-oriented Modeling) paradigm. An AMS, which consists of various machine groups, can produce machine parts in different physical dimensions and lot size. To model such a system, the method which utilizes Sub-PNs are proposed. This enables the models according to part routings. The machine group which causes bottleneck is obtained and modified to relieve the problem. By iterating these steps which consist of modelling, simulation, and performance evaluation, an AMS can e obtained which satisfies the required manufacturing conditions. Finally, the implementation issues of PN modeling are addressed. The approach is the IOM from PN modeling by Sub-PNs and the other is a development of IOM tool for the performance evaluation of AMS.

In this paper, a method to detect and diagnose faults in Automated Manufacturing Systems(AMS) is proposed. In AMS, it is necessary to monitor the process-status. The detection and diagnosis of faults are often difficult in monitoring level with given passive data. We propose the model-based monitoring system for faults detection and diagnosis using Petri Nets to model AMS efficiently and easily. Simulation results show the validity of proposed method with example of Reverse Mill Process in Automated Mill Lines.

Recently, many enterprises are installing AMSs(Automated Manufacturing Systems) for their competitive advantages. As the level of automation increases, proper design and validation of control logic is a imperative task for the successful operation of AMSs. However, current discrete event simulation methods mainly focus on the performance evaluation. As a result, they lack the modeling capabilities for the detail logic of automated manufacturing system controller. Proposed in this paper is a method of validation of the controller logic for automated material handling system using an object-oriented design and simulation. Using this method, FA engineers can validate the controller logic easily in earlier stage of system design, so they can reduce the time for correcting the logic errors and enhance the productivity of control program development Generated simulation model can also be used as a communication tool among FA engineers who have different experiences and disciplines.

As the level of maunfacturing system automation increases, the issues of modeling and simulation of AMS(Automated Manufacturing System) are becoming more important. Proposed in this paper is the JR-Net(Job Resource relation-Net) modeling framework which naturally mimics the process of designing an AMS by FA(Factory Automation) engineers. Its main purpose is to provide a modeling tool which facilitate modeling work of AMS for FA engineers unfamiliar with simulation modeling. The proposed modeling scheme is based on the extensive observation that typical AMSs are built from the set of 'standard' components(or catalog items). As an application of the proposed model, two real examples of FMS('G7'FMS model plant, RPI FMS) are modeled by JR-Net, and in case of FMS model plant, a simulation program development procedure using JR-Net modeling results is explained. Finally, simulation result of FMS model plant is analyzed.

본 논문에서는 자동화 제조시스템(Automated Manufacturing System, AMS)의 시뮬레이션 분석을 위한 그래픽 애니메이션 S/W(or 애니메이터)의 개발 방법을 제시하고 있다. AMS의 설계 및 분석을 위한 많은 방법들 중에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션이 가장 적합한 방법으로 여겨지고 있으며, 그래픽 애니메이션은 시뮬레이션 모델의 검증(verification)과 타당성 평가(validation), FA 기술자와의 의사전달, 시뮬레이션 결과의 발표자료 등으로 시뮬레이션 수행과정에서 필수적인 도구로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서 제시된 애니메이터는 대상 AMS의 3차원 layout을 생성하는 기능과 시뮬레이션 프로그램에 의해 생성된 "trace file"을 입력으로 하여 시뮬레이션 진행 과정을 "playback type"으로 애니메이션 하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 본 논문의 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 애니메이션 특성에 따라 AMS 구성 설비들과 작업물을 분류하였고, 2) 애니메이터 시스템의 구조(architecture)를 제시하였고, 3) C++과 GL을 이용하여 애니메이터를 구현하였고, 4) 자동창고 시뮬레이션에 개발된 애니메이터를 적용하여 보았다.개발된 애니메이터를 적용하여 보았다.

Presented in the paper is a structured approach to modeling automated manufacturing system (AMS) in the form of an event graph. The proposed two-phase procedure for formal modeling is 1) reference modeling by schematic supervisory control modeling and 2) event graph transformation from supervisory control model. Also described is a formal model for a small-sized FMS in the form of an event graph.
