Abstract
The benefits of open architectures are not currently available for most manufacturing equipment. We describe a testbed for experimenting with an open architecture controller for an inspection system. An initial taxonomy of categories of openness is proposed, culminating in "plug and play," which does not require a software rebuild. The testbed and its constituent components are described with respect to these categories of openness. We conclude that our testbed demonstrates all of the openness categories except plug and play.Proceedings Title
