Automatic Connection of GPIB Communication Protocol for Manufacturing System

Abstract

Various types of communication were used in the factory. And the manufacturing system, machine, normally use GPIB communication due to their efficiency, cost, and high performance. However the GPIB protocol is different type by their manufacturing company. Therefore the system engineers often spend lots of time to setup and initialized their system for GPIB communication. In this paper, we proposed automatic connection module of GPIB communication for manufacturing system in their factory. The module can find their GPIB type and protocol, and access their communication efficiently. It also can reduce the system fault or communication jam when manufacturing system initialized setup process for GPIB and begin to interface between them.
