An Environment and Algorithm for FMS Controller Testing
Zhengjie Deng, Z. Bi, Yuying Zhu · 1996
The authors have developed a physical environment for testing controllers of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). In this paper, firstly, the testing mechanism is discussed. Secondly, the architecture of the testing environment is illustrated. Finally, an algorithm based on a model built for testing the correctness of the series of control commands from a tested FMS controller is given. A modelling methodology called Structured Macro Petri Net (SMPN) conceived by authors is described briefly.
