“…CPS provides a theoretical framework for mapping the manufacturing-related things to the computing space, so that the modeling of manufacturing systems can be easily achieved. The recent advances and trends of CPS were concluded by J. Lee et al [29], and Leitao et al pointed out that more research is necessary on the standardization of CPS [30].…”

Abstract-The increasing demand of customized production results in huge challenges to the traditional manufacturing systems. In order to allocate resources timely according to the production requirements, and to reduce disturbances, a framework for the future intelligent shopfloor is proposed in this paper. The framework consists of three primary models, namely the model of smart machine agent, the self-organizing model, and the selfadaptive model. A cyber-physical system for manufacturing shopfloor based on the multiagent technology is developed to realize the above function models. Grey relational analysis and the hierarchy conflict resolution method were applied to achieve the self-organizing and self-adaptive capabilities, thereby improving the reconfigurability and responsiveness of the shopfloor. A prototype system is developed, which has the adequate flexibility and robustness to configure resources and to deal with disturbances effectively. This research provides a feasible method for designing an autonomous factory with exception-handling capabilities.Index Terms-Smart machine agent, cyber-physical system, self-organization, self-adaptation, intelligent shopfloor.

“…For example, CAEX is used as the top level format that connects the different data formats to comprise the plant topology, COLLADA is used for storage of geometric and kinematic information, and PLCopen XML serves for the storage of control logic. Following the publication of the AML standard IEC 62714, the implementation of a consistent engineering information model with AML has to be verified [44]. Aicher reports on a project where consistent verified engineering information has been implemented using AML [3].…”

Engineering Methods and Tools for Cyber–Physical Automation Systems

Much has been published about potential benefits of the adoption of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) in manufacturing industry. However, less has been said about how such automation systems might be effectively configured and supported through their lifecycles and how application modeling, visualization, and reuse of such systems might be best achieved. It is vitally important to be able to incorporate support for engineering best practice while at the same time exploiting the potential that CPS has to offer in an automation systems setting. This paper considers the industrial context for the engineering of CPS. It reviews engineering approaches that have been proposed or adopted to date including Industry 4.0 and provides examples of engineering methods and tools that are currently available. The paper then focuses on the CPS engineering toolset being developed by the Automation Systems Group (ASG) in the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), University of Warwick, Coventry, U.K. and explains via an industrial case study how such a component-based engineering toolset can support an integrated approach to the virtual and physical engineering of automation systems through their lifecycle via a method that enables multiple vendors' equipment to be effectively integrated and provides support for the specification, validation, and use of such systems across the supply chain, e.g., between end users and system integrators.

“…Hence, a comparison of those technologies is a complicated issue and depends heavily on the desired application (process control, motion, IO, centralized vs. decentralized control, etc.). An endeavor to compare some real-time Ethernets in various categorized has been undertaken by the Ethernet Powerlink Standardization Group (EPSG) 8 .…”
