Abstract
Case Tools for application engineering in the field of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) have gained importance due to the rising complexity of the control software. This paper presents three different case tools from the current research activities at WZL which are part of COSMOS, an open control architecture for flexible manufacturing systems. CellDesign is a graphical development tool for cell controllers using a petri net based approach. CASCADE provides a framework with class libraries and design patterns for an object oriented development of shop floor applications. MMS-3D KIT is a set of different Case Tools for the development of device drivers which are needed to integrate machine tools incompatible with the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS).
