Abstract:
The ever-increasing complexity and connectivity of mechatronic systems makes using a structured, systematic methodology essential for embedded software design. The model-based Rapid Control Prototyping is a widely used model-based development process for this. Essential is a seamless support by a Computer Aided Engineering platform. However, such platforms are very cost-intensive, which is why the seamless low-cost platform LoRra was developed by the authors. A key element of this platform is the Model Library tool, which provides consistent access and traceable change management to all data (especially functional and plant models as well as resulting artefacts) used throughout the holistic process of software development. Version and configuration management also increase the reusability of resulting artefacts. This paper presents the new ideas, used to design the LoRra model library for the low-cost function development of mechatronic systems. The holistic coverage of the entire development process, from modelling to real-time realization, is the feature, that distinguishes the LoRra model library from existing tools.
