Abstract
In 1980 General Motors formed a task force committee to explore solution to incompatibility of computer network on machine floor which control programmable devices, Robots etc. After receiving the various existing standards, the committee came up with first draft of Manufacturing & Automation Protocol (MAP 1.0) in April 1984. Further reviews resulted in different versions of MAP standards and presently, efforts are being made to come up with MAP 3.0.
MAP enables information to be readily transferred between computers, people and equipment and thus truely interconnecting open systems. The ultimate goal of these efforts is to be able to produce off-the-shelf equipment that will plug into factory network and will readily port factory automation software programs between dissimilar computers.
This project implements Common Application Service Elements (CASE) and Application Interface which form a part of Application Layer of MAP 2.1. The implementation is done in C language on VAX 11/750 in unix V 2.0 environment. The set of software developed in this project allows one User Application Entity to Connect, Disconnect, Abort and Send_data to another User Application Entity.
