Conceptual Design Approach For Mechatronic Systems Controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
- 2003
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Traditionally, the development of mechatronic systems starts with the mechanical design. Later electronic components and program logic for the product are added. This work proposes an improved interdisciplinary concurrent product development process with an enhanced function structure for the conceptual design phase. The new methodology is based on the German guideline VDI 2221 [1]. Transition conditions, time aspects and logic flow are added to the normal function structure. An example shows how to use the improved function structure. The enhanced function structure is used to derive the initial logic for the development of the PLC program controlling the machine later on. Since the extended function structure also covers the traditional information, it can still be used when building the assembly tree. By adding more information in the neutral function structure, the same information can be used for the mechanical design as well as for the electronic and logical design. The interdisciplinary communication and documentation among the engineers will be improved and errors in the concept will be detected earlier.

How to Implement the Virtual Machine Concept Using xPC Target
- 2003
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents an overview of the historical background of the virtual machine, containing a real control, a machine simulation and a 3D machine visualisation. This setup enables realistic system simulations, since the simulation input comes from a real control. The first known implementation of the virtual machine using xPC Target is described with an existing water jet cutting machine as an example. MathWorks products offer all necessary software for the presented setup, except the interface for the actual speed value from the simulated incremental encoder to the control. The unique xPC driver implementation, as a noninlined C-MEX S-Function, is presented at the end of this paper. The successful implementation of the virtual machine demonstrates the feasibility of the presented approach.

Modularisierung SPS-gesteuerter mechatronischer Systeme
- 2003
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Rein mechanische Lösungen werden zunehmend von mechatronischen Systemen abgelöst. Der X-by-wire Ansatz zeigt auch, dass der Anteil an mechanischen Teillösungen eines mechatronischen Systems immer weiter zurückgeht. Der vorliegende Beitrag skizziert einen Entwicklungsprozess für SPS-gesteuerte mechatronische Systeme, der dem immer wichtiger werdenden Steuerungsanteil Rechnung trägt. Dabei steht das parallele Arbeiten der Steuerungstechnik und der Konstruktion im Vordergrund, um die Entwicklungszeiten zu verkürzen und Fehler früher zu erkennen. Realisiert wird dies durch eine fachspezifische Modularisierung, deren erste Modulhierarchie als Ausgangslage der jeweiligen Disziplinen fungiert und somit einen parallelen Start ermöglicht. In dieser Arbeit werden Regeln vorgestellt, um die fachspezifischen Module von einer Funktionsstruktur abzuleiten. Abschliessend wird das Vorgehen anhand eines Industriebeispieles erläutert.

Implications of modelling one-dimensional impact by using a spring and damper element
- 2005
-
In: Proceedings of the Institution of mechanical engineers. Proceedings part K, journal of multi-body dynamics. - London : Professional Engineering Publishing. - 1464-4193 .- 2041-3068. ; 219:7, s. 299-305

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A spring and damper contact force element is often used for modelling impact in multi-body dynamics. The related condition for transition between contact and non-contact is, however, inconsistently implemented in the literature and commercial software. This comparative study aims to clarify the implications of four commonly used transition conditions. Principal differences are discussed and, by simulation of a typical system, it is shown that there are significant differences in the dynamics of the system depending on the different conditions. Two of them give unrealistic contact forces and should imply incorrect prediction of system dynamics in most applications. This suggests that it is important to review results obtained from using these conditions and to eliminate them from commercial software. A discussion of the two other conditions culminates in a recommendation.

Interacting with real time simulations – virtual reality in industry applications
- 2003
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Modern manufacturing machines are highly multidisciplinary, and with demands on short time-to-market, product development based on traditional prototype testing has become impractical. By using virtual models, it is possible to test large numbers of variants and optimise the product with the aid of a minimum of physical prototypes. Due to the immense development of software and hardware for simulation and visualisation it should today be possible also for small and medium sized enterprises to use methods that just few years ago were too expensive and complicated. There is however still a great need for building knowledge and compe-tence. This work is an early step in a project aiming at a virtual water jet cutting machine to be used by the industrial partner for optimisation during the development process. The possibility of performing real-time simulations of this machine in a virtual environment, using a normal PC and commercial software, will be in-vestigated. Initially strongly simplified models of the system components are used and the focus is on the overall system model and the interaction between the operator and the virtual machine. It is shown that real-time interaction is possible with this system and with the obtained flexibility of the overall virtual model it should be easy to include more realistic component models for improved accuracy in future work. Preliminary results indicate however that to include, for example, flexibility within the mechanic structure, component modelling will be delicate. These models must describe relevant characteristics accurately enough while still being computationally effective enough for real-time interaction and systems optimisation to be possible. This will probably be a challenge in the continuation of the project, even with an expected continued strong devel-opment of computer capacity.
