Zusammenfassung

Unter vernetzten ereignisdiskreten Systemen werden in diesem Beitrag geregelte Teilsysteme verstanden, die über ein Kommunikationsnetz situationsabhängig miteinander in Verbindung treten. Die Teilsysteme arbeiten weitgehend autonom und können bei Bedarf ihre Aktivitäten koordinieren, so dass sie flexibel auf äußere Anforderungen reagieren. Dieses Verhalten wird an einem Roboterbeispiel illustriert. Für die Formalisierung der autonomen und der kooperativen Arbeitsweise werden die geregelten Teilsysteme durch Eingang/Ausgangs-Automaten beschrieben. Um den kooperativen Modus ohne einen Koordinator zu realisieren, werden die Teilsysteme um Netzwerkeinheiten erweitert, die situationsabhängig eine Kooperation erkennen und diese herbeiführen. Ein Beispiel zeigt, wie auf diese Weise aus zwei autonomen Teilsystemen ein flexibles Fertigungssystem entstehen kann.

Abstract

This paper considers networked discrete-event systems as controlled subsystems, which are connected through digital communication depending on its environment. Most of the time the subsystems operate autonomously, however, they are able to react on external influences by coordinating their actions between each other. The behaviour of this system class is illustrated by means of a robot example. Each controlled subsystem is modelled by an Input/Output (I/O)-automaton in order to formalise its autonomous and cooperative behaviour. Moreover, a network unit is introduced, which extends each subsystem in order to realise the cooperative mode between them without a coordinator. They detect, initiate and ensure cooperative behaviour. A simulation demonstrates a flexible manufacturing system, which results by applying the proposed method to autonomous controlled subsystems.
