Conceptual Static Model

• Is very important for this case its an
  information-intensive application
• Factory consists of WSs
• Aggregate Factory class, composed of WS classes
• Three types of WSs Receiving, Line, Shipping
• Generalization/specialization hierarchy
• Line WSs have PickPlace and Assembly robots
• Receiving, shipping have only PickPlace robots
• WS generates one Status and multiple Alarms
• Both viewed from Factory Operator
• Process plan defines with operations all parts of
  a given type
• Operation defines a single step carried out at a
  WS
• Work order number of parts to be manufactured of
  a given type

Object Structuring

• Idea we determine the objects that participate
  in each use case dividing the system into
  objects
• Entity objects for data storing objects
• Process Plan, Operation, Work Order, Part,
  Workstation Status, Alarm
• They are all server ? corresponding server
  objects on collaboration diagrams
• For each Human actor user interface object
• Factory Operator Interface, Production Manager
  Interface, Process Engineer Interface
• Adding controllers objects
• Receiving/Line/Shipping Workstation controller
• to control manufacturing workstation
• Each robot has a controller and its mfg
  operations are downloaded from the Factory
  Automation System

13
Finite State Machine Modeling

• There is a state-dependent object the WS
  controller
• More in detail, each Workstation
• Requests a part only if ready
• Completes a part
• Waits for message from successor workstation
• When received, says pickplace robot to place
  part on the conveyor belt
• Send part coming message to successor
• Send part request message to predecessor
• Receiving ws controller counts remaining number
  of parts
• Shipping ws controller
• Removes part from conveyor belt
• Send part complete message to production manager
  interface
• For this state-dependent object statecharts

Dynamic Model

• Idea we refine use cases using collaboration
  diagrams
• Factory operator has client/server use cases
• Client OperatorInterface
• Server AlarmHandlingServer, WSStatusServer
• Process Engineer has client/server use cases
• Client ProcessEngineerInterface
• Server ProcessPlanServer, OperationServer
• Production Manager has
• client/server use case Create/Modify Work Order
• Client ProductionManagerInterface
• Server ProcessPlanServer, WorkOrderServer
• distributed control use case Manufacture Part

Subsystem Structuring

• Idea we structure the system in subsystems and
  then develop the subsystem collaboration diagrams
• Two things to considerate
• Geographical distribution (e.g. client/server)
• Use-case-based collaboration diagrams
• From View alarms alarm handler server, operator
  interface
• From View ws status ws status server
• From Create/update operation/process plan
  process engineer interface, operation server and
  process plan server
• Two servers used together ? process planning
  server
• Process planning server process engineer
  interface ? process planning subsystem
• From Create/modify work order production manager
  interface, part server, work order server
• Two servers ? production management server
• From Manufacture part Receiving/Line/Shipping
  Workstation controller, ws status server
• All in a part processing subsystem

Distributed Software Architecture

• Idea each component of a distributed
  architecture executes on its own physical node
  and communicates with other components with
  messages. Steps
• 1. Splitting system in separate nodes can
  operate separately
• Each ws controller each one can operate if
  others are unavailable (?sensors and actuators
  associated to them)
• Process planning server, production management
  s., alarm handling s. if separated can respond
  quickly to requests
• Ws status server two possibilities
• One server for the whole system
• One per ws
• The second one is better for two reasons
• High message traffic between this server and
  corresponding line ws controller
• Each ws node can supply both controller and
  server
• Interfaces subsystems production manager (1),
  process engineer (1 each), operator(1 each)

32
Distributed Software Architecture

• 2. Design precise message communication
• Synchronous msg for client/server communication
• Loosely coupled msg for alarms,
• For greatest flexibility, loosely coupled msg for
  communication between various ws controller
  components, production manager interface, robots
  and alarm handling server
• 3. Multiple-client/multiple-server communication
• Operator interface ws status server
• Status displayed not only when requested, but on
  change
• Can receive data from differents workstations
  concurrently

System Configuration

• To configure individual target systems we may
• Define different workastations
• Define parameters such as wsID, alarm name, for
  parameterized components
• Connect component instance and allocate them to
  phisical nodes
• There are different target configurations
• Highly distributed see next slide
• Localized autonomy
• Adequate performance
• Failure of a node not impacting on another
  immediately
• Grouping process planning server, production
  management s., alarm handling server
• As above Process engineer interface
  production manager interface in a single node
• Multiuser interactive node
