Holonic manufacturing is a new paradigm for manu-facturing introduced recently. This article reports on the development of a ‘holonic CNC controller’, an ongoing research activity of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Various concepts such as device driver and task-driven discrete instructions have been introduced to fulfil specific requirements of holonic systems: e.g. self-diagnostic and self-repair. An object-oriented model is used to represent the execution of the concepts mentioned above. The execution methodology of those objects is also discussed in this article. The application currently works on a Windows 16-bit platform.
