XML- und Java-basiertes modulares Produktionssystem

In this article a new production system's control architecture is introduced wherein the operation modules may be replaced without reprogramming. The system is extended by a control development tool where the whole system is programmed in a state-based and component-orientated way. The clue of this tool is the ability to save the data in XMI format and generate Java code by using XSLT (XML Stylesheet Transformation Language) and template techniques afterwards. This makes it possible to use it with other control systems as well.
