Abstract
To facilitate engineering and evolution of automation systems, ensuring the correctness of the design models is an important topic. Industrial automation systems are composed of various heterogeneous elements designed by different disciplines such as mechanical, electrical/electronic and software engineering. In this contribution, an approach for modeling industrial automation systems is presented which is based on interface behavior modeling of design artifacts and which supports automatic verification of their functional conformance while considering information from various disciplines.
Zusammenfassung
Die Sicherstellung der Korrektheit von Modellen während der Entwicklung und Evolution industrieller Automatisierungssysteme ist von großer Bedeutung. Eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Disziplinen, z.B. Mechanik, Elektrik/Elektronik und Software, sind dabei an deren Entwicklung beteiligt. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Ansatz zur Modellierung von Automatisierungssystemen vorgestellt, der die Modellierung des Schnittstellenverhaltens zur automatischen Verifikation der funktionalen Korrektheit von Artefakten adressiert und dabei Informationen von verschiedenen beteiligten Disziplinen berücksichtigt.
