Reconfigurable Integrated Production Control System of Industrial Processes on QNX Neutrino Platform

Abstract

This paper presents the structure and implementation of the Integrated Reconfigurable Production Control System. The solution offers monitoring, control and supervision of manufacturing systems equipped with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. The article proposes the architecture and the main principles of such a system, as well as its substantive tasks. QNX Neutrino system was chosen for a development platform as it provides real-time operations for control loops. The proposed project is intended for continuous industrial production systems.
