Referring to the operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

In the layout editor of the system controller 100, sets the address and the stage of the unmanned transportation vehicle 300 and the automatic warehouse 500, which are logistics facilities.

In addition, NC lathe 700, machining center 600, etc. are placed as processing equipment, and articulated robot 400, etc. are placed as logistics input equipment. Also, if a line of the unmanned transportation vehicle 300 is set, a powerful GUI The location of the entire equipment and equipment is automatically set according to the grid displayed on the screen based on the environment, and after installing the FMS TRAINIG KIT on the table according to the layout of the set equipment on the screen, each equipment and system controller 100 To RS232C cable through the hub 150,

Production information management program sets process data such as process type, machining program, machining time, tool control panel type, and registers all equipment used in the system, and all equipment can process It is designed to find replacement equipment in case of equipment failure.

In the production plan management program, when the user registers the quantity of parts to be produced and the production start and end dates, the production plan schedule is automatically created, and the machining plan is automatically generated by the registered production plan. Is displayed in chart form,

In addition, it is possible to change the operating speed of the system from 1x speed to 100x speed and to perform virtual operation.

If the mode is set manually in the operation mode setting, each training kit can be operated individually.When the operation is started after setting the mode automatically, the training kit is registered according to the machining plan registered in the system controller 100. Each equipment of the production starts automatically, according to the signal of the system controller 100, the unmanned vehicle 300 receives a command wirelessly, moves to the designated place to transport the workpiece to the designated equipment, automatic warehouse ( The stacker 503 of 500 may load the workpiece into the unmanned transport vehicle 300. The unmanned transport vehicle 300 transmits a stacking completion signal to the system controller 100 when the workpiece is loaded and processes the workpiece according to the processing plan. After transporting to the processing equipment and supplying to the station, and transmits the supply completion signal, the workpiece supplied to the station is put into the processing equipment by the robot 400, the injected workpiece in the processing equipment Machining is performed by an automatic machining program. At this time, the equipment transmits a machining start signal and a completion signal to the system controller 100. The unmanned transportation vehicle 300 moves to the equipment where the machining is completed and the product is processed by the machining completion signal. Loading and moving to the automatic warehouse 500 to supply the product to the warehouse station, the stacker 503 stores the product supplied to the station at a designated address

At the bottom of the monitor, the current system's operation status, failure rate, operation rate, progress rate, etc. are displayed, so you can check the system malfunction and progress immediately.

In addition, each operation is delicately expressed during the operation of the equipment, in the case of the equipment to express the appearance of the robot, the loading of the robot 400, the movement of the unmanned transportation vehicle 300, etc. The automatic warehouse 500 in 3D 2D It is easy to change the inventory of the warehouse can be easily determined,

With a powerful GUI environment, important user menus are handled as buttons, so when you mouse over the buttons, a simple menu description appears, making it easy to use without the hassle of finding a menu.

The results are automatically generated by the performance management program and it is easy to compare the plan with the results because it appears in the form of a GANTT chart like the machining plan. The production performance, operation rate and failure rate are excellent, and easily transformed into a TEX type tool. This is basically a bar chart graph.

As mentioned above, since the hardware is managed and operated by the software that integrates the processing plan and the machine control, it is possible to build a realistic system and to control the production system. Repeated learning of different situations can double the effectiveness of education and eliminate the need for this retraining in industry.

IT and FMS system automation training is available at a minimal cost to many educational institutions that are too expensive to have FMS training with real equipment and have no hands-on training due to difficulties in installation and management.
