Evaluation of Component-Based Reconfigurable Machine Controllers

June 13, 2002
Author(s)
S Kolla, John L. Michaloski, William G. Rippey
The lack of interoperability and integration standards is severely hindering manufacturing productivity. To address this problem, a General Motion Control (GMC) Testbed has been developed at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with one of

Tying Together Design, Process Planning and Machining with Step-NC Technology

June 13, 2002
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, John L. Michaloski, William P. Shackleford
While simulation has been successful in tying design and process planning into an iterative loop, machining has traditionally been a downstream terminus of the manufacturing cycle. Simulation of machining has proven difficult due to the highly dynamic and

An Intelligent Systems Architecture for Manufacturing (ISAM); A Reference Model Architecture for Intelligent Manufacturing Systems

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
James S. Albus, John A. Horst, Hui-Min Huang, Thomas Kramer, Elena R. Messina, Alex Meystel, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Harry A. Scott, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., M. K. Senehi
The Intelligent Systems Architecture for Manufacturing (ISAM) addresses the application of intelligent systems to the manufacturing enterprise at three degrees of abstraction: 1) a conceptual framework for developing metrics, standards, and performance

Overview of Communication Standards relating to Motion Control Systems

December 31, 2001
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, John L. Michaloski
This report surveys the international communications standards that affect the application and development of motion control technology. The scope of motion control covered includes applications as diverse as robotics, packaging machinery, discrete parts

Reconfigurable Machine Controllers using the OMAC API

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
S Birla, D -. Faulkner, John L. Michaloski, S -. Sorenson, G Weinert, James H. Yen
With enterprises facing tremendous time-to-market pressures, manufacturing systems must be implemented quickly and modified easily. The ability of the open architecture approach to reconfigure or extend existing machine controllers to meet new needs is one

Analysis of Behavioral Requirements for Component-Based Machine Controllers

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, John L. Michaloski, S Birla, G Weinert
Machine controllers built from standardized software components have the greatest potential to reap open architecture benefits - including plug-and-play, reusability and extensibility. A challenge to component-based controllers relates to standardizing

Analysis of Module Interaction in an OMAC Controller

June 1, 2000
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski
Machine controllers built from standardized software parts, commonly referred to as components or modules, have the greatest potential to reap open architecture benefits - including plug-and-play, reusability and extensibility. Modularity is the key to

Component Specifications for Robotics Integration

May 1, 1999
Author(s)
Elena R. Messina, John A. Horst, Thomas R. Kramer, Hui-Min Huang, John L. Michaloski
Robotics researchers have been unable to capitalize easily on existing software components to speed up their development e orts and maximize their system's capabilities. A component-based approach for building the software for robotics systems can provide

A Framework for Component-based CNC Machines

December 1, 1998
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, S Birla, G Weinert, C J. Yen
Open architecture technology is ushering in new advances in the world of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines. Yet, some major benefits of open architecture technology have failed to materialize due to the lack of a standard open architecture

NGIS SIM Specification

January 1, 1998
Author(s)
William G. Rippey, John L. Michaloski, Martin Herman, Sandor S. Szabo, W Dewys, N Frampton
