MONITORING AND CONTROLLING OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM CONSIDERING VAGUE INPUTS
Abstract
This paper presents a new model for controlling and monitoring Industrial Automation Systems. The architecture of this model does not limit it to be connected to only one specific system but makes it able to be adapted to different automation systems as well as reused for new ones, packing any industrial communication protocol. The basic components have their hard-ware and software described, as well as the interfaces with the users, with the automation system, and between components. Thus, the proposed structure is presented, and later it is shown how it is possible to reuse this system for other applications. An-other aspect of the approach is to deal with uncertain statements of the user. It allows the application to interpret these inputs. Furthermore, the application learns, over time, how to better interpret user preferences and behavior patterns.
