10 Multi-objective Systematic Optimization of FKNME
Measurement and control layer is also called digital direct control level (DDC), in
general, it is composed of field computer control system (DCS), programmable logic
controller (PLC), measurement, control network and so on. Its main tasks are:
on-time measuring relational infor-
mation and transmitting that to
supervision and scheduling layer;
receiving control orders from super-
vision and scheduling layer and
controlling objects according to them.
Supervision and scheduling layer,
in general, is composed of a special
computer system, short-range or
remote communication network and
its application software. Its main
tasks are: providing accurate field
production data for the information
management and decision-making
layer on time; receiving, explaining
and executing orders from the decision-making layer; according to the production
plan, condition of raw materials, condition of production equipments and orders
from decision-making layer, organizing production and executing optimal
scheduling, so as to make full use of the production resource; condition
monitoring and analysis, fault diagnosis, online adjusting and self-learning setting
of control laws and control parameters, assistant decision-making and producing
the optimal operation strategy; sending the control signal to the measurement and
control layer.
Information management and decision-making layer generally is composed of
the computer management information system network and decision support
system. Its tasks include: receiving data from the scheduling layer; based on these,
predicting the development trend of important technology parameters, making
optimal decisions so as to make production run in good state; sending orders to the
scheduling layer; sharing related information of every links of production
processes; managing the information about personnel, finance, marketing,
equipment and production by means of a computer, doing statistical analysis on
the related data, displaying and/or printing relational reports.
To sum up, the connections among layers of the integrated system for monitoring,
control and management are reflected in the information integration and exchanging.
There are obvious forward information flow and feedback information flow between
different layers. Meanwhile there are also relative independent information
closed-loop circulation, which can run as a local information system. Hence, every
layer of the system possesses good openness and expansibility.
