General ideas here for new systems and modules for the OSE system. Also just general info from my career as an engineer on automation ect.
Automation
GENERAL INFO
Supervisory control
This is control by a machine of another machine by giving it orders. For instance, a master plant controller might assign a controller on a boiler a temperature set-point of 1200C or even more general orders like "achieve a steam line pressure of 500PSI - it is supervising but not directly controlling the other machines process.
PROCESS SYSTEMS
Manufacturing execution systems [MES]
A MES system is used to keep track of:
- Raw and manufactured Inputs
- Counts of inventory
- Costs associated with purchased inventory
- Ordering more inventory based on demand
- The status of products being assembled
- Station - where is the product on the assembly line?
- What is the product?
- What are features of this product and what operations are to be preformed on it?
- Output products
- Serialization - a serial number and batch ID that is a quick way to look up the above records for a produced unit, and is usually on the unit.
Plant master control
Master control can be thought of generally as a "batch" or "Primary" controller. This machine preforms normally supervisory control of other system elements in order to keep the plant functioning. It's "the boss" of the other machines at the plant and is typically access though an HMI by a plant operator.
Master control duties
- parameter setting (supervisory control) - these contorller(s) will set parameters in other machines based on demands to produce various products from the MES or operator input.
Examples: for OSE, this could be assigning printing tasks to a master 3d printer controller (octopi?) based on recieved orders validated by the MES online, or based on parts needed provided by the MES for anouther larger machine. So - we say I want a 12" D3D printer... it would send to the master printer controller orders to make x number of uaxis modules. it would tell robotic cutting stations to make x number of n length steel rods from stock.
