Design and simulation of the production line system based on multi-channel controller

With the rapid development of the internet of things and intelligent manufacturing technology, the computer numerical controllers are required to reflect the running status of the manufacturing equipments, but the existing discrete manufacturing equipments and their control systems cannot extract, transport and process the running information, while the existing workshop management systems don´t have the ability to simulate the manufacturing process of the production line system based on the running information. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a method to design and simulate the production line system based on multi-channel controller, the designed simulation system has two modules, the information collection module and the manufacturing process simulation module. The information collection mode can collect the running information of the manufacturing equipments, while the manufacturing process simulation module can do collision detection and simulate the manufacturing process according to the real-time information gained by the information collection module, and the experiments shown that the method proposed by the paper is reasonable and effective.
