Abstract

Currently the formalisation in the process of creating automation control programs starts with the programming of the real-time controller. But inconsistencies in the requirements definition and misinterpretations will lead to errors in the program which have to be resolved through expensive software-in-the-loop and field tests. This paper introduces a holistic approach for the formalisation of the control design already in the design phase. It also illustrates the design flow for the model-based creation of error-free control programs. Created by means of graphical editors the system definition; which includes the control algorithm; is transferred into Modelica code and thus the executable system model is used for the simulation-based verification. The simulation results are compared to the requirements. Once these are fulfilled and no further errors found; program code for the real-time controller is generated automatically. In this paper Structured Text for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) according to IEC 61131 is generated. In final software-in-the-loop tests the real-time capabilities of the control program are validated.
