Technological systems are live systems which are subject to persistent changes. For instance, instrumentations fail or are added, operation modes are changed or communication network topologies are modified. This paper presents a concept to adjust control laws and reference trajectory models to new configurations of the closed loop. The introduced Plug-and-Play Control utilises a communication network to exchange control algorithms between physically separated components. This paper elucidates the concept and describes an implementation of the algorithm exchange by remote procedure calls and model construction functions provided by MATLAB. Experiments on a fluid process illustrate the performance of Plug-and-Play Control and point out the necessary application requirements.

This paper proposes a new message scheduling method on shared timeslots of ISA100.11a to enhance real-time performance, called Traffic-Aware Message Scheduling (TAMS) method. Instead of competing to transmit sporadic messages in consecutive cycles, end-nodes are divided into parts, and then access the channel in the specific cycles when the probability of timeslots getting involved in collision exceeds a threshold. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method provides performance improvements in terms of throughput and end-to-end delay.

In the Smart Grid era fine-grained energy information pertaining real world processes can be collected and may reveal new insights if these can be analyzed in real-time. Energy “Big Data” analytics can lead to a plethora of new innovative applications and enhance decision making processes. However, to do so, we need new enterprise tools and approaches that can take into consideration the specifics of the energy domain and offer high performance analytics on its raw data. In this work, experiments are conducted to measure the performance of the different levels of energy data aggregation. Thousands of smart meters are aggregated, by usage of the collected energy readings from a real-world trial. Using a selected dataset, the traditional database system (row-based) performance is compared to the emerging column-based approach in order to assess the suitability for real-time analytics in such scenarios.

Design of future systems for flight-deck automation will reflect a trend of changing the paradigm of human-computer interaction from the master (human)- slave (machine) mode to more equilibrated cooperation. In many cases such cooperation considers several humans and computer systems, for which multi-agent dynamic cooperative systems are appropriate models. Development of such systems requires very profound analysis of mutual interactions and conflicts that may arise in such systems. Additional testing is exhaustive and expensive for such systems. In the scope of the D3CoS project these problems are addressed from the modelling point of view with ambition to create tools that will simplify the development phase and replace parts of the testing phase. In this paper we investigate common flight procedures, for which computer assistance could be developed. We show how formal modelling of procedures allows us to inspect procedural inconsistencies and workload peaks before the development starts. We show how a computer cognitive architecture (a virtual pilot) can simulate human pilot behaviour in the cockpit to address questions typical for the early phase of the development. Analysis of these questions allows us to reduce the number of candidates for the final implementation without the need of expensive experiments with human pilots. This modelling approach is demonstrated on experiments undertaken both with human pilots and a virtual pilot. The quality of the outcome from both experimental settings remains conserved as shown by physiological assessment of pilot workload, which in turn justifies the use of the modelling approach for this type of problems.

This paper proposes a rule-based approach for automatic configuration of mechatronic components in a novel agent-based manufacturing automation architecture known as MIRA, implemented using Prolog. Through this method, MIRAs are enriched with semantic knowledge representation and, based on that, perform some reasoning and decision making (both at the design stage and even during the operation) to achieve the desired goals. This approach is illustrated in a simple case study in which composition of a reconfigurable pick-and-place robot with various linear cylinders is achieved through rule-based reasoning.

Time-Triggered Ethernet (TTEthernet) is an SAE standard of a real-time Ethernet extension, which supports real-time requirements, fault isolation and mixed criticality applications. TTEthernet supports different communication mechanisms ranging from best-effort messaging with a high channel utilization to predictable real-time messaging based on a time-triggered communication schedule. This paper presents a simulation framework for TTEthernet-based systems, which supports the analysis and validation of TTEthernet-based applications at early development stages. We introduce generic model building blocks (e.g., TTEthernet switches, TTEthernet end systems, fault injectors), which can be instantiated, configured and extended to model distributed embedded applications. In particular, these building blocks can be configured to support application-specific time-triggered schedules and communication topologies. The fault injector allows to evaluate the reliability in the presence of messages failures with given failure modes and failure rates. We demonstrate the simulation environment in an example scenario with two TTEthernet switches, multiple end systems and injected faults.

Due to high acquisition costs, production facilities are to operate for many years or even decades to be profitable. During operation, application and customer requirements change rather frequently. Therefore, a process operator must constantly evolve the control software and the underlying system. This task is restricted by specific constraints in the domain of production systems (e.g. short reaction times, high dependency on physics, etc.) hindering the proper use of formal engineering processes, which results in a lack of explicit documentation. Under such circumstances, it is evident that long-living automation software systems require special strategies to deal with incomplete information. Moreover, due to the complexity of production plants, the interconnection between evolution scenarios and system requirements might be complex. Then, a link between evolution and fulfillment of requirements is to be defined. In an effort to give a structured overview of the resulting difficulties due to improperly performed evolution steps in production facilities, this contribution presents a categorization of evolution scenarios from a practical point of view. In addition, interrelations between physical process measurements and high-level requirements are shown. This paper aims at describing the occurring difficulties within evolving production systems from a practical point of view and establishing a first step towards exploiting process measurements for requirement-aware production systems.

The existing model-based tools employ runtime monitoring methodologies for debugging and testing of embedded systems. In these tools, the additional instrumentation for incorporating and executing the test code varies based on the application. Such techniques could also introduce significant, non-deterministic overhead in the embedded system. This is a hurdle in applying Model-Based Testing (MBT) for resource constrained embedded systems and industrially relevant examples. To address this gap, this paper elaborates on the monitoring methodology used in a test framework for executing the model-based test cases in the embedded system. Two variants of the proposed monitoring methodology, (a) software and (b) on-chip monitoring are discussed. An empirical evaluation based on a prototype implementation of the proposed runtime monitoring mechanisms is discussed.

In the future, production systems will consist of modular and flexible production components, being able to adapt to completely new manufacturing processes. This requirement arises from market turbulences caused by customer demands, i. e. highly customized goods in smaller production batches, or phenomenon like commercial crisis. In order to achieve adaptable production systems, one of the major challenges is to develop suitable autoconfiguration mechanisms for industrial automation systems. This paper presents a two-step architecture for the autoconfiguration of real-time Ethernet (RTE) systems. As a first step, an RTE-independent device discovery mechanism is introduced. Afterwards, it is shown how the parameters of an RTE can be configured automatically using Profinet IO as an exemplary RTE system. In contrast to the existing approaches, the proposed discovery mechanism is based on the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC-UA). In addition, a procedure to autoconfigure modular IO-Devices is introduced.

The electric power grid is undergoing fundamental changes in light of the current focus on distributed generation, and in particular renewable generation (e.g., solar and wind). As a result, new methodologies and technologies are needed to effectively coordinate and make optimal use of the these resources. A distribution-system level energy market offers the potential to address this issue by providing an efficient mechanism for the pricing and allocation of resources. Market participants (e.g., households, ESCos, asset managers etc.) can apply economically driven strategies to trade energy while reacting to current and local levels of production and consumption. We evaluate here such a local neighborhood market and investigate its scalability under different numbers of participants and different penetrations photo-voltaic (PV) generation. The evaluation is carried out by simulating market operations under realistic production and consumption conditions. Results showed that the proposed market model scales well against both parameters.
