Model Driven Development (MDD) has been proved as a quite successful paradigm in general-purpose computing and is currently exploited in the embedded systems domain. On the other hand, the majority of industrial automation systems is developed based on the IEC 61131 standard. This standard defines a model and a set of programming languages for the development of industrial automation software and it is supported by the majority of the commercial tools in this domain. This work proposes an MDD process to increase the productivity and reliability of the development process of industrial automation systems. Piping and instrumentation diagrams are considered as source of requirements for process control engineering and SysML is used to reduce the gap between these diagrams and the 61131 based design specs of the control system. The foundation for a SysML profile to facilitate the exploitation of SysML in this domain is described. This profile will allow the developer to work in higher layers of abstraction than the one supported by IEC 61131 and effectively move from requirement specifications into the implementation model of the system.

“…Schemes of co-simulation and model sharing incorporate data generated in other domain-specific analysis tools into control design models, for example, as implemented in the de facto industry standard [23] Matlab/Simulink. However, often these dynamic models can be considered as an input/output box in the form of a transfer function, and the explicit relation with the original design input is lost.…”

The paper presents a tool to transform Simulink models into UML models. The embedded control software design process can be divided into the control logic design phase and the software design phase. MATLAB/Simulink is widely used to build a controller model in the control logic design phase. On the other hand, UML is widely used in the software design phase. We have developed a model transformation tool to automatically transform Simulink models with state transitions, conditional selection of data ows or conditional selection of control ows. The model transformation tool analyzes the data ows and control ows of Simulink models and generates UML models with ef cient control ows. We have applied the model transformation tool to a number of Simulink models and have con rmed its usefulness for embedded control software design.
