“…There are many more applications to come. For example, in ontological approaches [5], roles are fundamental concepts to organize structures and relationships [39]; in agent systems [17,20,53,60], agents' behavior can be adjusted and tuned by playing different roles or by tuning their current roles; in systems of systems roles can be used to separate concerns in designing [43]; in exploiting the information web [37], roles are good mechanisms to extract relevant information; in human-robot systems [78], roles can be used to regulate the interactions between humans and robots; and in HCI, personalized user interfaces present information in ways compatible to roles [38,79]. In CSCW, people can talk to others at a definite time if a role playing schedule is set.…”

“…For information processing most of the authors consider MAS as the best fitting technology, since it can provide the necessary reasoning techniques for holons to process the information and cooperate, so they can easily interact between them forming holarchies. However, for the physical processing many authors, senior members of HMS consortium among them, have proposed IEC61499 function block standard (IEC, 2005) for developing the low-level control architectures (Balasubramanian, 2001;Christensen, 2002;2003), because of its capabilities in terms of dynamic reconfiguration, safety management and system validation (Brennan, 2007). In the same line, in (Fletcher et al, 2000 andVrba et al 2011) authors consider suitable the use of FBs for low-level real-time process/machine interaction.…”

In this research work a control architecture which gives response to the requirements of new generation of flexible manufacturing systems in terms of flexibility, reconfigurability, robustness and autonomy is designed and implemented. To do so the main principles of the Holonic Manufacturing paradigm are applied using the IEC61499 function block (FB) technology. Unlike other similar research proposals, in this work FBs are not relegated to low-level control but are used to model manufacturing execution and control high-level control tasks. This is done with the objective of evaluating the viability of using FBs to develop holonic architectures in comparison to more established technologies like multi-agent systems. Moreover, the proposed control architecture also focuses on better integrating and exploiting the products' information to enhance its flexibility and adaptability. For this STEP-NC (ISO14649) is used to model richer process plans which include manufacturing alternatives and could be easily integrated in the control itself.Keywords: Intelligent Manufacturing System; Manufacturing Control; Holonic Architecture; Function Blocks; STEP-NC Process Plans IntroductionIn last the decades the global demand of products has suffered an important evolution. From a steady demand of a small assortment of products it has evolved to a volatile demand of an enormous variety of products, resulting in the apparition of new production paradigms (Koren, 2013): the mass customization, that has led the evolution of manufacturing in the last decades, and more recently the mass individualization. These emerging production paradigms have forced the manufacturing automation to face significant challenges over the twenty past years, with the objective of building the next generation of manufacturing systems. These challenges brought to the appearance of a new operational paradigm: the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) (Yoshikawa, 1995;Valckenaers, 1998;2000). According to Morel et al. (2003) it is a new systemic paradigm, that is, the whole manufacturing enterprise is analyzed as a system, that goes beyond the Integrated Manufacturing (IM) paradigm (Vernadat, 1996), which cannot neither face the problems related to the interface between the enterprise corporate and the manufacturing shop floor Design and implementation of a function block based holonic control architecture for a new generation flexible manufacturing systemlevel nor the dynamic loops that are produced in that interface and that require moving from an the hierarchical IM to the heterarchical IMS paradigm. One of the points that IMS paradigm considers is to organize human resources and machines into a networked and evolving system that adapts itself to the requirements of agile manufacturing. Manufacturing systems developed under their principles must distribute the digital intelligence across the field factory in order to enable flexible and autonomous operation of distributed units to transform information flows into products flows . Around this vis...

“…Esto garantiza el nivel de atención al cliente, que requiere de un comercio electrónico competitivo moderno. Por tanto, la proyección de sistemas de control industrial incrementa su complejidad y necesita de métodos formales para el modelado de estos sistemas [3] Para el diseño de estos sistemas de automatización industrial integrada que tienen alta complejidad por la sincronización de múltiples funciones, las redes de Petri constituyen uno de los formalismos más aceptados por sus potentes teorías de análisis y síntesis y una directa representatividad grafica.

Formal design in Petri nets (PN) model of filling wagons in laboratory process is presented with subsequent translation into programmable logic controllers (PLC) language and a monitoring and data acquisition software (SCADA) to the training facility. Use professional tools to model, verify and validate the proposed automation, where two new steps for proper formation of the PN are added, and programming, communication and monitoring of the implementation. With the implementation of this laboratory facility is has a near real automation system, usable in various undergraduate and postgraduate courses tool. The use of formal modeling, OPC communication and supervisory design allow tuning of the application and is an example to follow in teaching of Automation.
