Intelligent Component-Based Automation of Baggage Handling Systems With IEC 61499

On Practical Implementation of Holonic Control Principles in Baggage Handling Systems Using IEC 61499

IEC 61499 Component Based Approach for Batch Control Systems

In process automation batch processes play a dominant role. With ISA SP88 and its IEC standard equivalent IEC 61512, there is a standard available covering the description of batch processes and plants over several hierarchical layers. For the instrumentation and automation components in all industrial systems there is a trend towards distributed solutions. The function block oriented IEC 61499...

Robust Control the Iec 61499 Function Block Model in Factory Automation Design Methodology for Intelligent Automation

The application of Simulation to manufacturing has contributed to a generation of tools that is focused on specific problem solving related to automation, planning, material flow, supply chain, logistics,etc. Nowadays, manufacturing has evolved and its needs have changed. After an analysis of the current manufacturing simulation tools, we propose an approach based on Multiagent Systems theory, ...

SysGRID: IEC 61850 and IEC 61499 Standard Based Engineering Tool for Smart Grid Automation Design

The so called Smart Grid is said to be distributed in nature with an accompanying control architecture which is made up of a heterogeneous network of controllers communicating in a peer-to-peer manner. The paper proposes a novel computer-aided model-based system engineering process for the design of a Smart Grid applications from the initial design specification through to the validation of the...

baggage handling systems ∗

State-of-the-art baggage handling systems transport the baggage at high speeds, on a network of tracks, using destination coded vehicles (DCV). In order to ensure the optimal routing of DCVs, in this paper we propose a hierarchical control framework. In this framework switch controllers provide position instructions for each switch in the network. The switch controllers are then supervised by a...
