CONTROL STRUCTURE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CELL CONTROL SYSTEM

Cell control system(CCS) plays an important role in the hierarchical control structure of computer integrated manufacturing system(CIMS). It links up workshop controller and CAD/CAPP/CAM down to production facilities, and directly influences flexibility and efficiency of production. The hierarchical control structure and the key technical problems of the CCS are mainly described. The CCS controls the job schedule, the resource allocation and the operation of facilities in the manufacturing procedure according to the production plan and target coming from the workshop controller. The key technologies are discussed in this paper as follows: the application of client/server system structure in the production control and management; production planning and scheduling; the handling of exceptional incidents in production and the DNC interface control as well.

在计算机集成制造系统（ＣＩＭＳ）的递阶控制结构中，单元控制系统起着重要作用。它上端联接车间控制系统和ＣＡＤ／ＣＡＰＰ／ＣＡＭ系统，下端联接生产设备，直接影响到生产的柔性和效率。该系统根据生产任务和目标，完成了生产计划调度、资源分配、监控设备运行等功能。文中主要讨论了系统的控制结构、系统功能和以下主要关键技术：客户／服务体系结构在生产控制和管理中的应用，单元生产计划和调度，ＤＮＣ接口以及生产中的随机事件处理。该系统已在应用中取得良好的经济效益。
