Abstract
Due to the increasing integration of different disciplines, the complexity in the development of mechatronic production systems is growing. To address this issue, a multi-disciplinary design approach has been proposed, which follows the model-based systems engineering (MBSE) architecture and integrates the interdisciplinary modeling approach SysML4Mechatronics. In this article, the applicability of this approach in the machine and plant manufacturing domain is demonstrated using five use cases. These use cases are derived from industry and are demonstrated in a lab-sized production plant. The results of the application show that the approach can completely fulfil the proposed industrial requirements, namely interdisciplinary modeling, comprehensibility of system modeling, reusability of the modeling components, coupling different engineering models and checking data consistency.
Zusammenfassung
Aufgrund der zunehmenden Integration verschiedener Disziplinen nimmt die Komplexität in der Entwicklung von mechatronischen Produktionssystemen zu. Um dieser Anforderung gerecht zu werden, wurde ein multidisziplinärer Designansatz vorgeschlagen, der auf der Architektur des Model-Based Systems Engineerings (MBSE) basiert und den interdisziplinären Modellierungsansatz SysML4Mechatronics integriert. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Anwendbarkeit dieses Ansatzes im Maschinen- und Anlagenbau anhand von fünf Anwendungsfällen vorgestellt. Diese Anwendungsfälle orientieren sich an einer industriellen Entwicklungsumgebung und werden auf den Demonstrator einer Produktionsanlage angewandt. Das Ergebnis der Umsetzung der Anwendungsfälle zeigt, dass der Entwicklungsprozess die vorgestellten, industriellen Anforderungen dieser Domäne vollständig erfüllt. Dazu gehören Anforderungen zur interdisziplinären Modellierung, zur Verständlichkeit der Systemmodellierung, zur Wiederverwendbarkeit der Modellierungskomponenten, zur Kopplung verschiedener Engineering Modelle und zum Inkonsistenzmanagement.
