The development of automated manufacturing systems is characterized by the demand for high availability and an increase in the functionality. This leads to increased complexity of the machines, particularly with regard to the control software. Managing the complexity requires interdisciplinary co-operation between the various departments involved in development. For this reason parallelizing and synchronizing the development tasks is a basic premise for successful realization of future manufacturing systems.
A novel approach, that considers the mentioned requirements, is the model-driven development of the control software. However, this innovative development method requires both a procedure that is adapted to the specific application domain and suitable modeling techniques. Presented in this thesis is an approach appropriate for manufacturing systems. The focus is on introducing the necessary description techniques and a methodology for their use in product development.
