Hierarchical control system emulation: Applications guide
Abstract
The Hierarchical Control System Emulation is a collection of computer programs written in the high-level praxis language for use on a Digital Equipment Company VAX 11/780 processor under the VMS operating system. These programs allow the user to write, debug, and concurrently emulate modules of a hierarchical control system and to simulate the physical plant which is controlled. The emulation executes in real time and interactive display and data logging capabilities are included. The emulation is intended as a computer aided control system design tool for the NBS Automate Manufacturing Research Facility. The Applications Guide provides a case study of the Hierarchical Control System Emulation applied to an automated matching example, involving 14 modules.
