“…Aside from works addressing IEC 61131-3 implementations, event-driven implementations conforming to the IEC 61499 standard (Bianchi et al, 2003;Chhabra and Emami, 2011;Hirsch, 2010;Hirsch et al, 2008;Vyatkin et al, 2009) were proposed. A systems engineering framework based on SysML and IEC 61499 is considered in Hirsch (2010) and Hirsch et al (2008).…”

a b s t r a c tCoping with evolution in automated production systems implies a cross-disciplinary challenge along the system's life-cycle for variant-rich systems of high complexity. The authors from computer science and automation provide an interdisciplinary survey on challenges and state of the art in evolution of automated production systems. Selected challenges are illustrated on the case of a simple pick and place unit. In the first part of the paper, we discuss the development process of automated production systems as well as the different type of evolutions during the system's life-cycle on the case of a pick and place unit. In the second part, we survey the challenges associated with evolution in the different development phases and a couple of cross-cutting areas and review existing approaches addressing the challenges. We close with summarizing future research directions to address the challenges of evolution in automated production systems.

“…In this modeling strategy, all components are recognized by the energy they supply or absorb ( source or sink elements: S e , S f ), store or dissipate ( storage elements: I and C or dissipative elements: R ), and reversibly or irreversibly transform ( transformer elements: TF; gyrator elements: GY ; and distributing elements: 0 ( zero ), 1 ( one ) junctions or irreversible transducer elements: RS ). In Borutzky (2009) and Breedveld (2004), bond graphs are utilized to model multidisciplinary systems, and in Chhabra and Emami (2011), bond graphs are used to define three holistic design criteria for such systems, which are reviewed in sequel.…”

“…A generic bond graph model of a serial-link manipulator is also utilized to calculate the performance supercriterion in the phase of supercriterion optimization. A detailed description of the bond graph model is presented in Chhabra and Emami (2011). The resulting design architecture (shown in Figure 2) is employed to concurrently design a 5-DOF robot manipulator to follow a number of predefined trajectories, including step, ramp, pick-and-place, and periodic, subject to 1 kg payload.…”

“…In the design loop, this supercriterion is determined for each satisfactory design alternative using a bond graph model of a 5-DOF serial-link manipulator including its joint modules and controllers, which is programmed in MATLAB Simulink. Since the bond graph model used in this case study is identical to the one used in Chhabra and Emami (2011), the details of constructing and evaluating the model are omitted here. In this case study, energy flows to the system through the constant voltage electric sources of the joint motors.…”

This article details a holistic concurrent design framework, based on fuzzy logic, which is suitable for multidisciplinary systems. The methodology attempts to enhance communication and collaboration between different disciplines through introducing the universal notion of satisfaction and expressing the holistic behavior of multidisciplinary systems using the notion of energy. Throughout the design process, it uses fuzzy logic to formalize subjective aspects of design including the impact of the designer's attitude, resulting in the simplification of the multi-objective constrained optimization process. In the final phase, the methodology adjusts the designer's subjective attitude based on a holistic system performance by utilizing an energy-based model of multidisciplinary systems. The efficiency of the resulting design framework is illustrated by improving the design of a 5-degree-of-freedom industrial robot manipulator.

In the paper, a SysML-based approach that supports the model-driven engineering (MDE) of manufacturing automation software is presented. The approach adapts the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and defines a specialized language profile, the SysML-AT, to support automated code generation for IEC 61131-3 runtime environments. For adapted SysML Parametric Diagrams (PD), a prototypical tool support was realized inside a commonly used automation software development environment. Inside the prototypical tool, the linking between the realized PD model editor and online data from the IEC 61131-3 runtime environment enables direct debugging within a SysML-AT model. The concept was evaluated by case studies and by usability experiments, which proved the usability of the SysML-based MDE approach for future users.
