Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for dynamically configuring a topology of a modular machine, the machine modules of which are connected to one another and to a control device via a communication network. Furthermore, the present invention relates to such a modular machine.
- a modular machine for automated manufacturing processes is usually configured or configured for the automation task to be solved with regard to its mode of operation. This means that, among other things, appropriate tasks are assigned to the individual modules of the machine. This configuration is carried out with the help of an engineering system without taking into account the topology of the communication network of the machine modules. So that the individual machine modules can also communicate with each other to carry out their task, the topology of the communication is also recorded at the time of engineering and a corresponding communication configuration is defined.
- This communication configuration which is also referred to as communication configuration, is loaded into the automation system, which represents the control device of the modular machine.
- the appropriate configuration including the communication configuration, is loaded into the corresponding automation system and all machine modules for a changed topological machine structure in current systems.
- this is a relatively complex process and requires an interruption in the operation of the machine.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to facilitate the reconfiguration of a modular machine.
- this object is achieved by a method for dynamically configuring a modular machine, the machine modules of which are connected to one another and to a control device via a communication network, by determining the communication partners in the communication network by one of the communication partners while the machine is in operation, and generating a suitable one Communication configuration by one of the communication partners and activation of the generated communication configuration while the machine is running.
- a modular machine with a plurality of machine modules, a control device for controlling or regulating the machine modules and a communication network with which the control device and the machine modules are connected to one another for communication, with one of the plurality of machine modules and / or with the control device the communication Partners can be determined in the communication network and a suitable communication configuration can be generated and activated during the running time of the machine.
- the dynamic topology configuration of the communication network of the modular machine according to the invention has the advantage that when the communication topology is reconfigured, the operation of the machine does not have to be interrupted and communication configuration or configuration is possible in the machine during runtime.
- the modular machine according to the invention is integrated in a manufacturing process and the generation of the communication configuration is triggered by an internal or external process event.
- a process event can be an alarm of a new communication partner, an operator input or a change in a communication partner.
- a machine module it is therefore possible for a machine module to be exchanged or repositioned while the machine is running.
- the generated communication configuration is preferably stored centrally in a server connected via the communication network or decentrally in one of the communication partners. This means that the communication configuration is always within reach for a new configuration.
- the communication network can comprise at least one subnet with which a second machine module is connected for communication to a first machine module, so that the second machine module is indirectly connected to the communication network via the first machine module.
- This means that the communication configuration also includes subnetworks that are not directly connected to the main network.
- the communication partners of the subnets can also access them Way for automatic, dynamic configuration.
- a preferred method for starting up a modular machine thus consists first of all in the step of configuring the interaction of the machine modules before the time of starting up the modular machine by means of an engineering system for an automation task to be solved without taking into account the communication topology of the individual machine modules and the subsequent one Step of dynamically configuring a communication network with which the machine modules are connected to one another in accordance with the dynamic configuration method described above. This significantly simplifies the engineering process before the machine is started up.
- a flexible, modular machine consists for example of machine modules Ml to M6, as shown in the figure.
- the machine modules Ml to M3 are connected to a communication network KN.
- the possible separation between the machine modules and the communication network KN is indicated in the figure by a dotted line.
- the machine modules Ml and M4 are connected via a communication subnet S1, the machine modules M2 and M5 via a communication subnet S2 and the machine modules M3 and M6 through a communication subnet S3.
- the subnets S1 to S3 are therefore only indirectly connected to the communication network KN via the respective machine modules M1 to M3. binding.
- the respective subnets S1 to S3 can contain any further subnets. It is also conceivable that additional modules are connected to the modules M4 to M6 via additional subnets.
- the modules Ml to M6 are controlled by an automation system AS via the communication network KN / Sl to S3.
- the automation system AS in turn is connected to an engineering system ES.
- a machine configuration created with the development system ES can thus be stored in the automation system AS.
- one of the communication partners of the communication network KN in the present case the machine module Ml selected as an example, is used to determine the communication partners connected to the communication network KN including its subnets S1 to S3 and to generate a corresponding communication configuration or parameterization.
- This configuration is then stored in the machine module Ml and activated during the running time of the machine. It is therefore possible at any time for one of the machine modules Ml to M6 to be replaced or repositioned without having to interrupt the running of the machine.
- the machine module Ml determines the communication configuration dynamically, for example by evaluating neighboring relationships between the communication partners or temporal relationships of signals.
- the communication partners are not only the modules Ml to M6, but also the automation system AS and the engineering system ES.
- the communication topology can be determined by the automation system AS or another communication partner and a corresponding communication configuration can be generated and activated.
- a special server in which the Communication configuration is stored and provided, can be connected to the communication network.
- the configuration process is triggered, for example, by an operator input in the engineering system ES or by connecting one of the modules M1 to M6 to the communication network KN or the corresponding subnet S1 to S3 or a process event etc. Such an event not only triggers the independent generation of the Communication configuration, but optionally also an automatic activation of this communication configuration.
- the dynamic configuration shown in the selected example makes it possible to support modular machines with regard to a flexible topological machine structure and a change in this machine structure at runtime.
