This article describes technological level of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) control. It focuses on the control in terms of sensors, actuators and technological networks. It also focuses on the control of manipulators that are part of FMS and are controllled via the network DeviceNet. Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) represents fully automated technological manufacturing process that is employed in teaching process. The principal aim is to improve the control system of a given model as well as higher levels of distributed control system (DCS) using the communication links between individual DCS levels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
