Model-driven engineering of process control software – beyond device-centric abstractions

Model-Driven Development of Automation and Control Applications: Modeling and Simulation of Control Sequences

“…Other MDD approaches in the domain (in which simulations have been supported) have utilized IEC 61499 as a simulation (in addition to implementation) language [15,16,20] or relied on the use of cosimulation [14,19]. On the other hand, sequential control as a special aspect of control systems has been addressed only in [13] but not with respect to simulations. With the work presented in this paper and [1], the simulation approach covers all the common aspects of basic control systems including binary and feedback control, sequential control, and interlocks.…”

“…In [13] the sequential control aspect is addressed with respect to modeling. However, simulation of the models is not suggested.…”

“…In the industrial control domain, MAGICS approach for MDD of industrial process control software is presented in [13]. As a modeling notation the approach utilizes ProcGraph that has been implemented on the Eclipse platform on top of Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF).…”

IEC 61499 based model-driven process control engineering

“…Most of these works involved the uses of UML or customized UML profiles, such as SysML [16], UML Automation Profile [17], and UML for Process Automation [18], to construct the PIM, which unifies the requirements, functionality, and structure of process control systems. Alternatively, works such as [19,20] used domainspecific markup languages for the same purpose. This study was largely influenced by [17], where the IEC 62424 P&ID is used as the central requirement input to the MDD.…”
