Zusammenfassung

An moderne Cyber-Physische Produktionssysteme werden hohe Anforderungen hinsichtlich Flexibilität und Effizienz gestellt. Flexibilität wird zum Teil bereits durch moderne Steuerungssoftware unterstützt, wobei die initialen Steuerungsparameter bisher typischerweise ad-hoc festgelegt werden. Dieser Beitrag stellt einen Ansatz zur Optimierung der initialen Steuerungsparameter vor, der mehrere Simulationsmodelle verschiedener Genauigkeit mittels ordinaler Transformation kombiniert. Die Anwendbarkeit des Ansatzes wird anhand eines Labordemonstrators für Produktionssysteme gezeigt.

Abstract

Modern cyber-physical production systems need to meet high demands regarding flexibility and efficiency. Even though flexibility is supported by modern control software, the initial control parameters are typically determined in an ad-hoc way. This paper presents an approach for optimizing the initial control parameters. This approach combines several simulation models of different fidelity, i. e. exactness, by means of ordinal transformation. The applicability of the approach is shown at hand of a demonstrator for production systems.
