Logic Selectivity immensely reduces both number of outages and their duration in the distribution network. IEC 61850 can be applied for standard implementing of Logic Selectivity in which Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) messages should be exchanged between intelligent field devices over the Internet. However, information security and automation requirements must be noted in order...
This paper presents a technological solution for designing an assistive device for a biomechanical study of the Sit-to-Stand movement (STS). This device targets people with disabilities following a stroke. The control algorithms are implemented in TwinCAT runtime environment. The communication between all the component and the control computer is ensured via the EtherCAT fieldbus. The aim of this...
This paper describes a novel approach for systematic support of engineers using model-driven system architectures for process and automation engineering of plants. We explored a new aspect of engineering virtual smart objects in plant data-models which is object's lifeflow. In principle, lifeflow is the dynamic and adaptive answer to the question of “what happens?” to each engineering object, in its...
The variability of modern automation systems is getting the key factor in determining the efficiency in manufacturing. The modularity of the employed automation components contributes significantly to the level of variability by enabling multiple compositions of automation components. In order to enable a high modularity, each automation component should be modeled as an integrated mechatronic model...
The development process of modern automated manufacturing plants requires a concurrent engineering process that integrates different engineering disciplines. Envisioning a concurrent development process, we propose an engineering process based on an AutomationML metamodel. The proposed metamodel contains standardized mechatronic component models, which acts as the base engineering data for the disciplines...
With the growing interest in adoption of wireless technologies in industrial automation and the continuous search for new revenue streams new players are entering the arena in order to make their business grow further. One of the emerging wireless technologies aiming to support industrial automation applications is 5G, targeting anything from extreme throughput (> 10 Gbit/s) to extreme low latency...
