Information Support of Choosing and Designing Means for Process Measurement and Inspection of a Flexible Production Control System

Abstract

The analysis of the current state of designing control of a flexible production system (FPS) in mechanical engineering showed that to solve this problem and, accordingly, to ensure the reliability of control, the correct search and selection, decision-making and implementation of data storage and their editing are required. The paper objective is to study the issue of creating information support at the design stages of FPS control systems in relation to mechanical engineering. Since the basic information support for the development of a FPS control system is formed at the stages of its design, the paper considers the problem of building the structure of the design stages of FPS management and control system, where subsystems for searching, selecting, making decisions, processing and storing the required information in a database are gradually formed. Based on the requirements for the layout of a machine-building FPS with a consistent structural scheme, the tasks of forming information support at the stages of requirements specification, preliminary design and development of the working draft of FPS control system are determined. The hierarchical structure of functioning the information support of FPS control system in relation to machine-building production is proposed. The paper objective is to study the problem of creating information support at the design stages of FPS control systems for mechanical engineering.
