This paper presents a method and the related software for the availability calculation of Ethernet based Automation Networks. After an introduction to reliability calculation basics, the calculation method and the functionality of the software is described. The software is able to handle networks that include rings multiple rings as well as meshed networks. Based on this information a case study shows...
A robust model-based debugging and testing technique integrated with the Model Driven Development (MDD) approach for memory size constrained, real-time critical embedded target systems is still in its nascent stages. This is especially true for the industry standard MDD-based tools. In addition, a model-based debugging technique or tool chain based on the newly introduced timing diagrams in UML 2...
Machine vision nowadays is among the most important ‘senses’ in industrial automation and robotics. However, attaching vision systems to moving machine or to mobile robots imposes a number of constraints on the implementation. Size, weight and power consumption are among the most important aspects. In this paper we present a compact embedded vision system for mobile robots and lay out the underlying...
This paper discusses realisation aspects and limitations of optical least-resolution sensors with less than 1k pixels to fill the gap between a light barrier and common smart cameras. The capability of the proposed hard- and software-architecture is demonstrated by an industrial example application in conjunction with Model-Driven Software Development which aim is to locate mechanical components for...
