SysML' - incorporating component properties in early design phases of automated Production Systems

Properties and environmental dependencies of mechatronic components like gear-drives and motors impact the overall performance of automated Production Systems. These properties, often in the form of characteristic curves, are only accessible from suppliers' documents, like operating instructions or online catalogs. The proposed SysML' profile includes a reference mechanism to REXS (standard for gear properties) and ECLASS (standard for product data) to overcome the semantic inconsistency of component properties and allows to include curves. SysML' integrates artifacts in the form of Block Definition Diagrams, Internal Block Diagrams, and Timing Diagrams from UML into disciplinary views. The proposed enrichments are described using a Metamodel. Additionally, a Business Process Modeling Notation is used to illustrate the benefits of SysML' in the workflow.     «
