The introduction of model-driven design methodologies in the field of Industrial Automation and Control Systems helps to cope with requirements like limited budget and reduced ramp-up time. Simulation is a major key to enable a concurrent development in all involved domains. This work analyzed requirements for simulation of industrial plants and the aptitude of industrial control runtime environments. We propose the use of IEC 61499 industrial automation runtime environments to simulate plants or integrate specialized external simulation tools. By applying the concept of Instrumentation and Control points, in form of function blocks, which represent the components' I/Os, the transition from simulation to implementation is facilitated.","PeriodicalId":256385,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122096077","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 strategies used to extract the three-phase reference currents are based on the synchronous reference frame method. Although this method is based on balanced three-phase loads, it can also be used for single-phase loads, allowing independent control of all three phases. Accordingly, a fictitious quadrature current needs to be generated through software implementation, and be orthogonal to the measured load current. This creates the fictitious balanced currents in the two-phase stationary reference frame system, allowing the choice of an adequate compensation strategy which will result in either balanced or unbalanced sinusoidal source currents. Three shunt APF topologies are evaluated under unbalanced load conditions: Split-Capacitor (S-C), Four-Leg (F-L) and Three Full-Bridge (3F-B). The proposed algorithms applied to the three APF topologies are evaluated and discussed. Mathematical analyses of the SRF-based algorithms are presented and simulation results are performed to validate the theoretical development and confirm the performance of the shunt APFs.","PeriodicalId":256385,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"262 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117101501","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}

In avoidance of the parameter sensitivity of the controller, a permanent identification of the controlled system will be used, so that there is also no need of knowledge of the control parameters like the inductance, resistance and d.c.-link voltage. Only current measurement is necessary. The identification needs no additional test pulses, instead it uses the current response caused by the alternation of the switching states of the d.c.-d.c. converter with a standard pulse-width modulation (PWM). It will be shown that this control is suitable for four-quadrant operation. Furthermore it needs no superposed control circuit for the regulation of the mean value of the current.","PeriodicalId":256385,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117222193","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}

Agent-based manufacturing control systems are envisioned as a relevant solution. However, designing and deploying such systems is complex, and raises some concerns regarding safety, robustness and emergence of unforeseen behaviors. To address these concerns, we propose an approach in which automation agents are created by extending existing hardware and real-time control software with advanced capabilities for cooperation and run-time diagnosis. The main feature of an automation agent is the reflective world model - a symbolic model of the agent's world, including the agent itself. In this paper, we present the application of a reflective world model for automation agents to detect some anomalies in a pallet transport system. This work shows the suitability of the proposed approach for designing advanced run-time diagnosis capabilities, while preserving existing hardware and control software.","PeriodicalId":256385,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125055649","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 SLAM algorithm is implemented on a Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and extracts corners (convex and concave) and lines (associated with walls) from the surrounding environment. A navigation approach directs the robot motion to the regions of the environment with the higher uncertainty. The uncertainty of a region is specified by a probability characterization computed at the corresponding representative points. These points are obtained by a Monte Carlo experiment and their probability is estimated by the sum of Gaussians method, avoiding the timeconsuming map-gridding procedure. The mobile robot has a contour-following controller implemented on it to drive the robot to the uncertainty points. SLAM real time experiments within real environments are also included in this work.","PeriodicalId":256385,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129583484","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}

As a solution we propose adding local damping injection to the robots, and again employing the small gain theorem, we show that with adequate local damping the system can be made delay independent L2 stable.
