1. A control system for controlling a production facility including a plurality of work stations, each said work station being provided with a plurality of working apparatuses having machining tools, said control system comprising:
- working apparatus control means for controlling said working apparatuses, respectively, so as to perform a specified machining operation independently from one another;
intermittent control means interfaced to said working apparatus control means by means of a data communication network so as to communicate data on deterioration of said machining tools of said working apparatus with one another, said intermittent control means governing said working apparatus control means of said respective apparatuses for each said work station and unifying said data on deterioration of said machining tool of said respective working apparatus for each said work station transmitted from said respective working apparatus control means so as to present predetermined attributes of data; and
inclusive control means for interfacing to said respective intermittent control means by means of a data communications network so as to communicate data with one another and for governing said intermittent control means for said respective work stations and unifying said data transmitted from said intermittent control means for said respective work stations;
said intermittent control means transmitting, on one hand, data among said predetermined attributes of data intrinsic to each said working apparatus control means and, on the other hand, data of said predetermined attributes of data to said inclusive control means.
