Abstract :
This paper introduces an object-based modeling method for automated manufacturing systems which particularly focuses on reusability and standardization. The models are built by selecting, configuring, and connecting elements from a building block library. An automatic translator generates fully functional and manually extendable PC-based work cell controllers from such models.
