Device and method for retrieving software unit for use in manufacture industries

Abstract

A unit property for defining the manufacturing industry software unit is described with the use of the action of an access to a domain concept data model element of an activity that is realized by the software unit described in an implementation specification format. As a result, the manufacturing industry software unit can be formally described as the property that defines the action of the description when it is described by using the software unit profiling template described in the implementation specification format defined by ISO 16100-2. Also, a request in conducting retrieval can be described in the same format as the above, and the process semantics of the existing manufacturing industry software unit can be efficiently registered in the directly expressed and in a common form, and effectively retrieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a software unit retrieval device and retrieval method for manufacturing industry, and more particularly to a software unit retrieval device and registration retrieval method for manufacturing industry that can efficiently register and retrieve existing software units. Background technique [0002] In recent years, flexible production systems having the following structures have been proposed and popularized, that is, various machine tools or arrangement devices, cleaning devices, work instruction devices, Control target equipment such as conveyors, and basic information such as processing schedules, processing sequence information, and use scheduled jig information for the operation of these control target equipment are processed to create an operation plan, and these control target equipment are collectively operated. Controlled controls. [0003] Furthermore, in order to drive such a production system, dedicated or g...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] In this method, the detailed specification of the software unit or requirement can be clearly expressed as a model, which is efficient, but there is a problem that the architecture of the application software (the detailed specification of the overall activity, its module division, module structure), cannot be freely combined to build the best functional system required by users, etc.

[0011] On the other hand, in the latter application-meaning-model-dependent name registration and retrieval method, a top-down decomposition of the model diagram expressing the entire processing of the application is used, and each block element is named, so that the named name becomes The index of the original model diagram directly avoids the semantic description, and does not include the formal description that facilitates the search, such as automatic retrieval based on the semantic model on the computer

[0012] That is, as seen in the above-mentioned two representative methods of registration and retrieval of software units for the manufacturing industry, the current situation is that there has not been established a technology that can directly and uniformly define and use each Semantics related to the activities of the execution content of the application process executed by the software unit, and efficient registration and retrieval of the software unit
