| Summary: | 碩士 === 大葉大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 82 === Flexible Manufacturing System(FMS) has been recognized as a
suitable manufacturing method for a variety production of small
amount in modern manufacturing industry. Flexible Manufacturing
Cell (FMC) is a basic unit of FMS. Because of its low
investment cost, FMC has become a first step toward factory
automation in industry. This thesis deals with the research of
man-machine interface of an FMC which comprises two CNC
lathes, one CNC machining center, one 6-axis articulatoy robot,
and input/output conveyers. First, a PC-based PLC control card
for a PC-386 computer is used as the control device of the
Flexible Manufacturing Cell. It proceeds all the functions of
FMC. Secondly, a man-machine Graphical User Interface (GUI)
provides lots of convenient and useful functions such as
function table, mouse button, dialogue box, horizontal and
vertical scroll bars, windows, button control , and checking
square. PCX picture files which are created by a drawing
software "Desktop Paint". provides using in monitoring man-
machine interface software. It also provides the resources for
producing applied softwares of man-machine interface which
monitors operation states of FMC. Finally, using disk-shape
workpieces such as differential speed gears and as practical
machining examples to verify the performance of each function ,
which is included in the practical operation of this FMC system.
