Abstract

Fueled by the continuous; rapid progress within microelectronics; ever more intelligent and intricate functions are realized in mechatronic systems. To control the complexity associated with such designs; model-based control design methods are increasingly adapted in industry. Despite Modelica’s obvious suitability to efficiently create appropriate high fidelity system models; the utilization of Modelica for developing discrete control functions is not yet wide spread. Adoption of Modelica for this task offers the potential for a seamless development methodology from the logical virtual model down to the technical system architecture; with corresponding traceability and maintainability benefits.

This contribution will specifically address this potential and propose a Modelica sub- and superset adequate for use within the development of safety-relevant control applications.
