Automation may be defined as the process of having machines
follow a predetermined Sequence of operations with little or no
human labour, Using specialized equipment and devices that
perform and control manufacturing processes.
If the various ‘islands of automation’ are
integrated/interconnected with each other, then the resultant
system is known as a computer integrated manufacturing
system.

PROTOCOL
MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION PROTOCOL
(MAP)
•In 1980 General Motors developed MAP. A
communication network consists of a number of
components such as hardware, software, and media.
•Protocols in the network system are a set of
instructions to exchange the information between two
devices. A protocol specifies the message format and
the rules for interpreting and reacting to messages.

MAP Application Layer
1. FTAM (File Transfer Access Method) for file transfer.
2. MMS (Manufacturing Message System).
3. ACSE (Association Control for Service Elements) for
program to program communication.
The set of protocols should make communication between
heterogeneous devices, not only in moving data around, but
also in communication the meaning of that data.
