“…These languages describe different structures, interactions and behaviors. By selecting specific language elements, from approaches in the software development, the UML-PA is a customized modeling language for automation and was developed in DiSPA by Fischer et al (2004). The applicability of a modeling language in its practical use is as important as its formal specification.…”

Our goal is to increase efficiency and quality in automation engineering in machine and plant manufacturing industry by supporting modularity and reuse. This article proofs that object-oriented modelbased design can beneficially be applied in industry and that the code automatically derived from the UML model can be implemented on industrial PLCs without additional effort. We had to solve the formal mapping from UML models to IEC 61131-3 program code in order to use an object-oriented approach with Unified Modeling Language (UML) as modeling notation integrated into a classical Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming environment (IEC 61131-3).

“…Most of these works involved the uses of UML or customized UML profiles, such as SysML [16], UML Automation Profile [17], and UML for Process Automation [18], to construct the PIM, which unifies the requirements, functionality, and structure of process control systems. Alternatively, works such as [19,20] used domainspecific markup languages for the same purpose.…”

“…Process automation systems, i. e. product and plant automation, interact with the technical process in which they are bound. Therefore they have special characteristics with respect to control functions, real-time properties, distribution, interfaces to the technical process and limited resources [6], [7]. On the other hand, the vast number of notational possibilities is a handicap for using UML.…”

Nowadays Unified Modeling Language (UML) has found widespread use in software development of commercial IT systems. But the application in industrial automation is still rare. The domain of process automation involves special requirements on software development. Important requirements on the notation used for software specification arise from the real-time characteristics of industrial automation systems. In order to consider these requirements in software design to avoid a hard clash in development between design and implementation the UML notation has to be used in a specific manner. UML for Process Automation (UML-PA) simplifies system and software development for distributed real-time systems. This paper presents adoptions of UML regarding real-time specific modeling elements.
