Virtual Prototyping (VP) as prime technology is considered as a novel approach to aid in the development Industrial Instruments. However, using state-of-the-art VP technologies requires a high degree of expertise, thereby limiting its usability among multi-disciplinary teams. This paper proposes a new approach for easing the use of VP technologies among different domain experts. It provides common grounds for domain experts to productively interact and share knowledge already in early stages of development. This is done by extending an existing virtual prototype of an Industrial Instrument with an integrated interfacing methodology. In this paper, the design, implementation, and integration of a custom HMI for an industrial temperature transmitter instrument are presented. This includes the verification and validation of the VP-enhanced development process. The presented evaluation shows the encapsulation of the complexity of Virtual Platform-based development process to enable agile development of Industrial Instruments.","PeriodicalId":6312,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"10 1","pages":"270-275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75491322","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}

A total of four error patterns are pre-defined according to the statistical features of NWP. Moreover, an advanced autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) simulator with error information integrated is established to adjust the NWP. Finally, a pair of comparison tests based on support vector machine (SVM) is run with raw NWP and adjusted NWP as inputs respectively. It proves that the adjusted NWP increases forecast accuracy greatly.","PeriodicalId":6312,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"19 1","pages":"453-457"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73872539","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}

This requirement arises from market turbulences caused by customer demands, i. e. highly customized goods in smaller production batches, or phenomenon like commercial crisis. In order to achieve adaptable production systems, one of the major challenges is to develop suitable autoconfiguration mechanisms for industrial automation systems. This paper presents a two-step architecture for the autoconfiguration of real-time Ethernet (RTE) systems. As a first step, an RTE-independent device discovery mechanism is introduced. Afterwards, it is shown how the parameters of an RTE can be configured automatically using Profinet IO as an exemplary RTE system. In contrast to the existing approaches, the proposed discovery mechanism is based on the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC-UA). In addition, a procedure to autoconfigure modular IO-Devices is introduced.","PeriodicalId":6312,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"46 1","pages":"248-253"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77572963","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}

When monitored data is transmitted over wireless links, packets can be corrupted requiring some error recovery strategy. Hop-by-hop retransmission can provide an acceptable level of reliability, but can potentially increase the energy consumption of the network. In fact, wireless communications are error prone, and interferences may be concentrated in specific parts of the network. We propose a semi-reliable retransmission mechanism where only packets carrying critical information will be always retransmitted if corrupted. The remaining corrupted packets will not be retransmitted, saving energy of the network. We designed an energy consumption model to evaluate the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":6312,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"88 1","pages":"146-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80272787","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}

A distribution-system level energy market offers the potential to address this issue by providing an efficient mechanism for the pricing and allocation of resources. Market participants (e.g., households, ESCos, asset managers etc.) can apply economically driven strategies to trade energy while reacting to current and local levels of production and consumption. We evaluate here such a local neighborhood market and investigate its scalability under different numbers of participants and different penetrations photo-voltaic (PV) generation.

Increasingly-complex control software architectures make developers look for more efficient modeling methodologies to deal with such complexity. This paper discusses modeling gaps by focusing on the requirements analysis and architectural/detailed design stages of the IASs. It argues for having a good requirements notation on models to order to lead developers to end up in right control software for IASs. Following this hypothesis, the objective of this paper is to review existing modeling methodologies and technologies for control software architectures from factory automation and high-integrity systems. Thus, weaknesses and strengths can be identified in the industrial automation domain but also modeling capabilities from other domains can be added. This paper reveals modeling gaps given by what current approaches can provide and what is needed.

The first contribution is an approach to overcome a well-known problem of discrete-event simulators, i.e., the fact that they do not provide functionalities to emulate the continuous effects of signal propagation. To solve this problem, in this paper the channel is modeled based on measurements, made on real testbeds, so our simulator embeds data taken from experiments performed in a real scenario.
