Abstract
The rapid development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and high-capacity hardware components make it necessary to achieve a strong integration of automatic systems based on new paradigms on intelligent distributed architectures, where require highly complex supervision and control tasks, due to the generated requirements of the new production systems, the high number of variables to control and the advancement of technologies, especially in industries where continuous processes have been established. In the present work, a distributed hierarchical modular architecture is proposed for a supervision system, based on multi-agent systems (MAS), oriented to the management of processes in the filtration stage of a water purification plant, using a methodology to the implementation of intelligent agents that allow to project, design, verify and validate the system. This methodology is fundamentally based on the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for its projection and Petri nets (PN) for the simulation and validation of properties, which allows to guarantee the modularity, flexibility, and robustness of the proposed system. The architectures of the intelligent agents in the different programmable devices are modeled and simulated to achieve an adequate interaction and collaboration, allowing to reduce the conflicts that may be generated between them. The evaluation of the distributed architecture focuses on the fulfillment of the functional requirements and evaluation metrics, which, through the analysis of the properties of the Petri net, allows to determine the correct operation of the system and its dynamic behavior in the face of unforeseen situations at different levels of automation.
Highlights
At the present time, industrial processes face great challenges to achieve high levels of production with the quality of the product demanded by the market, requiring for this to maintain high levels of safety, reliability and availability of the processes and the systems involved [1, 2, 3]
The development of new technologies has made possible the integration of industrial process data in a distributed way, leaving behind the classic automation systems based on local information, until reaching applications based on web services that achieve the integration of information and the data distributed at the different levels in the industrial supervision systems of a company [4, 5, 6]
The development of this research work allowed modeling the supervisory system for the filtering stage of a water purification plant, considering a multi-agent architecture, where Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Petri nets have been used as design and analysis tools to determine the static and dynamic behavior of the system
