Abstract
In this paper, a infrastruc.tural system designed for the factory automation applications, named “Glue Logic”, is described. The Glue Logic provides an environment which supports the programming, controlling and monitoring the manufacturing system, mainly in the levels of manufacturing work-cells. And this environment also supports efficient manufacturing programming, by means of high program modularity and reusability.
Using the service of the Glue Logic, users can easily implement data-sharing and task-interlocking among multiple application processes developed and compiled separately. Furthermore, this system includes event notification message sending and condition monitoring features to eliminate needs of data polling by means of active database technique.
As the result of the use of the Glue Logic, the application system can be build as a collection of the agents working together, and the Glue Logic itself acts as a message exchange and shared data space manager.
