Abstract :
The support of dynamic reconfiguration on all automation levels of future manufacturing systems will the the key success factor of agile production systems. Up to now the main hindering point is the lacking support on the lowest - the real-time control - level. This work identifies requirements a dynamic reconfigurable control architecture has to fulfil. It derives a set of basic reconfiguration services based on general reconfiguration tasks. These basic services can be arbitrarily arranged to sequences accomplishing the reconfiguration process. The infrastructure presented in this paper will serve as basis for next generation self adapting agile manufacturing systems
