Rapid prototyping for MAP/MMS based CIM-OSA environments

For the validation of the computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) open system architecture (CIM-OSA), a demonstrator called McCIM has been developed. The first steps in linking the CIM-OSA modeling framework and its integrating infrastructure (IIS) are described. Models of CIM applications are executed by the IIS to run a rapid prototype of online model-based flexible manufacturing. The manufacturing automation protocol (MAP) and the related manufacturing message specification (MMS) are used for the communication between network nodes and various components inside the network nodes.<
