“…Sacha [28] proposed a formalization for transformations of timed finite state machines into PLC control code. A similar approach is described by Flordal et al [7], where deterministic finite automata are applied to generate executable interlocking policies implemented in PLC programming languages for industrial robot cells.…”

The effort for design and implementation of process automation systems increases with the complexity of modern production plants. To shorten the implementation phase we propose a conceptual approach for automated code generation for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) based on knowledge acquisition from standardized engineering artifacts and their corresponding tool database. Ontologies are defined for each engineering domain artifact, representing the concepts and relations specified in the associated domain standards. An automated data extraction and population of the domain-specific ontologies together with semi-automated mapping definitions between common engineering objects then enables a rulebased code generator to query the ontologies. The query results are translated afterward into PLC code by applying a rule transformation algorithm.

“…The finite state model generates supervisors that avoid deadlock situations, based on the widespread approach of Ramadge and Wonham [18]. Comparing the work of [7] with the proposal of this paper, in our approach the discrete event model is generated using coloured Petri net instead of automata. The resulted model contains the data exchanged among the robots and supervisory system.…”

“…These works refer mainly to machine design, while some others can be found with a similar detail level of interdisciplinary integration on manufacturing system design. According to Reinhart and Wünsch [6] and to Flordal et al [19], a lack in tool integration can be clearly found in control logic definition (e.g. PLC) and in high level coordination of plants.…”

Adaptive manufacturing systems achieve intelligence and adaptation capabilities through the close interaction between mechanics, electronics, control and software engineering. Mechatronic design of intelligent manufacturing behaviours is of paramount importance for the final performances of complex systems and requires deep integration between mechanical and control engineering. Virtual Commissioning environments offer engineers new opportunities for the design of complex intelligent behaviours and for the enhancement of the performance of adaptive manufacturing systems. This paper discloses a systematic design method focused on interdisciplinary behavioural simulations: Virtual Commissioning tools are used to virtually explore new solution spaces for an effective mechatronic optimization. The results, achieved by applying the method in reengineering a module of an automotive sensor manufacturing line, are finally presented.
