Integrated Parameter Management Concept for Simplified Implementation of Control, Motion Planning and Process Optimization Methods

Abstract:

For complex automation tasks, the configuration and parametrization of both hardware and software components involves the main part of the required commissioning time. To simplify this process and significantly reduce the required expense, an integrated parameter and data management concept is proposed. Several advanced methods for an optimized process design simultaneously access a global parameter database. In this manner, the shared parameters are synchronized and verified to improve the performance and maximize the robustness of each individual method and, therewith, optimize the entire production process.
