An approach based on IDEF0 and CIMOSA architecture is utilized. Given process model, its further analysis can be conducted with the aim of flow improvement and guaranteed access to critical resources. The model will also be used as a basis of Process Flow Logic Machine control model.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125288827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, if an early prediction of deviations were analyzed, it would be possible to take them into account in planning stages so that necessity for on-line compensations would be minimized. With this purpose, two math models based on strain energy analysis and a FEM model are proposed in this work and compared each other and also with respect to experimental machining tests, showing satisfactory coincidence of results.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116436763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mandatory certification implies a worst-case delay analysis of all the flows transmitted on the AFDX network. Up to now, this analysis is done thanks to a tool based on the Network Calculus approach. This existing approach considers that all the flows transmitted on the network are asynchronous and it does not take into account the scheduling of output flows done by each end system. The main contribution of this paper is to extend the existing Network Calculus approach by introducing the offsets associated to the different periodic flows into the computation. The resulting approach is evaluated on an industrial AFDX configuration with an existing offset assignment algorithm. The obtained upper bounds are significantly reduced.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"262 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122697821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, we present a methodology that builds the complete model of a system by composing models of the individual hardware components, their physical coupling, and the associated control logic. We choose to employ a hierarchical decomposition that separates the control logic into a high level that manages the sequence of control actions and a low level that implements the control actions. The low level is composed of control logic and physical components (sensors and actuators) grouped into a device. In order to capture the physical constraints between the components in a device, we propose the notion of a physical constraint automaton, which is composed with the generic component automata to generate the complete model of the device. We also show how the methodology allows the introduction of component faults into the overall model. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on a micro flexible manufacturing system.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129702955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The project “flexWARE - Flexible Wireless Automation in Real-Time Environments” aims at implementing such an infrastructure based on IEEE 802.11. To enhance overall system performance, it offers a localisation service. In this paper we present the flexWARE handover mechanism which exploits localisation to reduce the discovery phase.
