Abstract
In this paper, the application of the Hierarchical Interface-based Supervisory Control method to controlling a large scale manufacturing example is presented adopting a layered organizational hierarchy of a factory. The generic and easily maintainable implementation using programmable logic controllers, a personal computer and TCP/IP over Ethernet for communication is explained in detail. To assess the controlled plant performance, business parameters are estimated using a throughput diagram and utilized to derive directions for further improvement.
