Abstract

This article presents a new approach for the simulation of Cyber-Physical Intelligent Mechatronics Components using process evolution based on the timed approach. The purpose of this article is to address the issue of implementing the Intelligent Mechatronics Components control from the bench point of view and its simulation considering a virtual system composed of a single programmable logic controller and a touchscreen. For this, we intend to develop a systematic approach that allows modeling physical cybernetic systems based on timed automata. The proposed methodology makes it possible to define, in a systematic way, the formalisms and tools to model the controller and the respective plant. These global models can be used to simulate and validate systems based on development tools like UPPAAL software, so the proposed approach intends to systematically define their development. To present and explain the proposed methodology, a Modular Production System was used to distribute objects as a physical element. A virtual platform based on the Simatic TIA Portal was developed to monitor and validate the methodology.
