This paper presents an on-line monitoring and control system designed for the automation of a yarn manufacturing plant. The system is based on the combined structure which is composed of a general purpose micro-processor (i8096) board and a personal computer. Usually, the address of communication module is fixed. If the new subprocessing module is loaded, the fixed addressing method can't recognize it. This method is riot good for plant which attributes floating subprocess module. Therefore, the variable addressing method which manages subprocessing module is disscussed in this paper. The above method addresses the subprocessing module when system starts up or certain mapping command is received. The method is represented by custom protocol refered from IS0 10368 (Thermal Freight Container Remote Monitoring). The proposed method is excellent for the plant that has floating subprocess module. Simulation results are shown to illustrate the system operation.
