| Description |
An Information Model for plasma surface treatment machinery.
Plasma Surface Technology is used to coat, modify, clean or activate material surfaces. Plasma surface treatment machinery is widely used in the producing industries. It can be divided into machine types for plasma processes at atmospheric pressure and at low pressure.
The information model covers both plasma surface technologies and their specific machine components. It is thought for any existing or future machinery. By means of sensors, process data like power consumption, gas consumption, temperature, pressure etc. can be recorded and used for process monitoring. The data structures, parameters, methods, state machines etc. are for the communication among plasma surface treatment machinery, between plasma surface treatment machinery and supporting systems (e.g. shot blasting machinery, drying systems, conveying systems) and from plasma surface treatment machinery into higher level manufacturing systems (e.g. Manufacturing Execution System, MES), for information and diagnostic purposes and to set parameters regarding the plasma surface treatment process.
