Abstract

The Industrie 4.0 initiative emphasizes the consistent digitalization and linking of all productive units, including the definition of industrial control systems. This work proposes a model-based approach to develop Industrial Process Measurement and Control Systems. It uses modern software technologies but software complexity is wrapped using the notation, syntax and semantics of the field. It is UML modeling tool independent, due to the definition of domain profiles. It is also PLC programming tool independent, as the software architecture is generated following the PLCopen XML standard.

Zusammenfassung

Die Initiative Industrie 4.0 unterstreicht das Konzept konsistenter Digitalisierung sowie die Verknüpfung aller Produktionseinheiten, einschließlich die industrielle Automatisierungstechnik. Dieses Beitrag stellt eine modellbasierte Vorgehensweise für die Entwicklung industrieller Mess- und Steuerungssysteme. Es nutzt moderne Softwaretechnologien und kapselt die Softwarekomplexität durch die Notation, Syntax und Semantik der Domäne. Es ist durch die Definition von Domänenprofilen unabhängig sowohl von UML-Modellierungswerkzeugen und von der SPS-Programmierumgebung, da die Softwarearchitektur entsprechend der PLCopen XML Standard generiert wird.
