Abstract

An approach to the rapid development of complex mechatronic systems based on the comprehensive use of computer-simulation techniques is presented. Mechatronic systems with mechanical and non-mechanical components including discontinuous behaviour and varying structure are modelled as collections of dynamic transmission-elements using object-oriented programming techniques. The control system and user-interface, including the input-devices, are modelled in the same environment, allowing a realistic simulation of the complete controlled system at an early stage. Subsequently, the control system is ported to the final real-time processor without changes. This approach is demonstrated in an ongoing project to develop the control system of a balance-crane.
