Avaliação de projeto e implementação de redes de dispositivos centralizados e distribuídos aplicados em sistemas a evento discreto

Abstract

Modern automation approach differs from classical one by using embedded devices and microelectromechanical systems integrated with the control logic. Such devices have capability of decision making, either in centralized or distributed systems. The discrete event systems have application in various fields of engineering, such as manufacturing automation, robotics, traffic supervision, logistics and distributed process optimization. The aim of this work is to evaluate the device networks project impact in centralized and distributed systems applied to a discrete event. To achieve the goal a case study based on a parts separation bench is proposed and analyzed different network architectures of project, deployment and performance.
