Abstract

A model construction of a multi-agent system (MAS) and the basic function of the agent are described. The precision control method using the multi-CPU of a programmable logic controller (PLC) is introduced, and a distributed method using multiple CPUs to control different motion machines is given. The test results indicate that in industrial control fields, the combination of using the credible PLC to control the motion machine and multi-CPU task distributing methods can solve multi-axis machine linkage and implication, providing a more credible method for multi-axis motion units.

Key words： multi-agent system (MAS); token; multi-CPU system
