Abstract :
This paper describes the implementation of a novel distributed network-based industrial control system for an assembly automation system. The control system is composed of autonomous, intelligent components which have the capability of participating in the automation control without the need for a master controller. It is envisaged that assembly automation system that adopt this control approach can lead to greater agility, reusability and reduction in development cost
