HP MMS/9000 Technical Data
Product Number 32018A, 32019A, and J2161A
HP MMS/9000 is an HP Advance Net CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing)
product addressing the critical need for multivendor communications
manufacturing. MAP 3.0 (Manufacturing Automation Protocol 3.0) is a full
seven-layer communication specification based on the OSI (Open Systems
Interconnection) model.
[Figure 1 (HP MMS/9000) Caption: none]
HP MMS/9000 is a layer seven service for the HP 9000. MMS (Manufacturing
Message Specification) is the protocol that OSI-connected cell
controllers use to direct the activities of factory floor devices (i.e.
robots, PLCs, NC machines, etc.). HP MMS/9000 complies with both the
draft standard ISO/DIS 9506 specified by MAP 3.0 and the international
standard ISO/IS 9506.
HP MMS/9000, in combination with HP OTS/9000 and LanLink, allows HP 9000
Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 computers to connect to 802.3 or ethernet
networks.
Functional Description
MMS (ISO/DIS & IS 9506) is a substantial specification containing more
than 80 service calls spread over 10 categories of capability. The
intent of MMS is to allow cell controllers mastery of factory floor
device activities. For instance, MMS can control PLCs (Programmable
Logic Controllers) by downloading and executing programs, by reading and
writing PLC variables, and by setting and reading status conditions. MMS
also contains computer-to-computer communications functionality, such as
the binary file transfer service along and the ability to transfer
messages between programs (via a remote read/write variable mechanism).

Feature Benefit
________________________________________________________________________
o Comprehensive, direct con- o Reduced communications costs
trol of OSI conformant (writing and programming)
factory floor devices (FFDs)
o Standard programmatic o Portable applications; reduced
interface (MMS-I) programming costs
o Investment Protection o Customers can utilize their
install communication media
o Proven Interoperability o Eliminates the need for
with leading MMS vendors customers to perform
interoperability testing.
________________________________________________________________________
In support of the above general capabilities HP MMS/9000 includes the
following MMS categories:
o Connection/Context Management - establishment and release of
associations between MMS peers.
12
o Virtual Manufacturing Device (VMD) Support Services - device status
and resource interrogation.
o Variable Access and Management - services to read and write remote
variables.
o File Transfer and Management - binary file transfer to and from
remote node; file delete.
Note: This capability is separate from, and not interoperable with ISO
FTAM.
o Domain Management Services - upload and download of program execution
images or data files.
o Program Invocation Management - start stop and resume of remote FFD
programs
o Operator Communication Services - services to exchange messages with
remote consoles.
HP's MMS is accessed exclusively through an application programmatic
interface (API). The MMS API is a "C" language interface adhering to the
MMS-I specification.
Despite its rich feature set, MMS alone cannot tap all the
capabilities of FFDs. MMS Companion Standards are presently being
written to extend MMS to allow full control of certain classes of
factory devices (e.g., there are fledgling Companion Standards for
robots, NC machines, PLCs, and vision systems). Currently HP's MMS
product does not support Companion Standards.

Installation and Support
HP OSI products are customer installable. HP OSI products provide a
complete toolset for effective management of HP OSI nodes within an OSI
multivendor network. The HP OSI communication subsystem includes a
thorough set of utilities for diagnosis and resolution of communication
problems.
The full complement of HP network support services: HP Network
Planning and Design, NetPrepare, NetStartup, and NetAssure are available
for use within the OSI environment. Combined with the HP OSI diagnosis
and support tools, HP Support services offer complete assistance in the
planning, design, preparation, startup, and maintenance of OSI
multivendor networks.
