<p>The system comprises at least one manufacturing cell (24) constituted by a series of working and materials moving machines (53A-D) controlled by corresponding programmable control units. These units are handled in groups by personal computers (49, 49 min ) for direct handling of the group. These personal computers are connected to a local data transmission network (48), to which is connected another personal computer (47) handling the cell and possibly a personal computer (85) with a graphics VDU (83) for visual handling of the status of the system. The personal computers are provided with a monofunction operating system which is standard in industry, to which is added at least one program level for support of industrial applications comprising various modules adapted to define the environments of various personal computers. The computer (47) handling the cell comprises a file module in which are recorded lists containing the static and dynamic information on the machines (53A-D) and the manufacturing processes, because of which each application program is easily compiled by entering in a module for description of the machining the names of the individual machines and of the co-involved individual manufacturing processes.</p> |
