This course is designed for introducing the main concept, technologies, and implementation methods of computer controlled manufacturing system. DCS (Distributed Controlled Systems) are discussed with the interface issues of automation devices, sensor, and PLC (programmable logic controller). PLC program design and practice are given focusing on designing logical control of manufacturing process. Also covered are the issues of manufacturing message communication such as field network (CC-link, Device-Net, Profitbus-Net), Control Network, and information network (Ethernet). Various models of manufacturing operating systems are studied in

connection with the logical and physical control models of MES (Manufacturing Execution System).
