Abstract

This paper presents a method which allows to specify, to program and to simulate the control behavior of flexible assembly systems. A hierarchical top down approach for planning and programming of a robot based assembly cell is discussed. The cell which consists of multiple units like stationary robots, mobile robots and peripherals is used for product assembly operations. Synchronization and exception handling for each of the assembly processes has to be considered. For specification of the cell program predicate transition nets are used. The predicate transition net of the cell can be broken down into subnets and into device specific local nets which define the operation of each specific device. The work is supported by an ESPRIT-CIM project.
