Abstract
The paper describes an object-oriented, general model of a robot on one side and of a flexible manufacturing cell on the other side. The modeling aims at an improvement of information exchange between these commonly separated levels of the CIM hierarchy. Interactions between both levels are discussed with special emphasis on the integration of information about the physical properties of the robot into the flexible manufacturing cell. By this means a high adaptiveness on changing manufacturing situations is achieved. In addition the open architecture of the model facilitates the integration of future methods in manufacturing process planning and execution. The paper closes with two practical examples that illustrate the information exchange between the robot and the manufacturing cell level in concrete scenarios.
