Networked Automation Systems (NAS) have to meet stringent response time during operation. Verifying response time of automation is an important step during design phase before deployment. Timing discrepancies due to hardware, software and communication components of NAS affect the response time. This investigation uses model templates for verifying the response time in NAS. First, jitter bounds model the timing fluctuations of NAS components. These jitter bounds are the inputs to model templates that are formal models of timing fluctuations. The model templates are atomic action patterns composed of three composition operators- sequential, alternative, and parallel and embedded in time wrapper that specifies clock driven activation conditions. Model templates in conjunction with formal model of technical process offer an easier way to verify the response time. The investigation demonstrates the proposed verification method using an industrial steam boiler with typical NAS components in plant floor.
Networked automation systems (NAS) are characterized by confluence of control, computation, communication and Information (C3I) technologies. Design decisions of one domain are affected by the constraints posed by others. Reliable NAS design should a
A MATLAB toolbox is presented, with the goal of checking occurrences of design errors typically found in fixed-point digital systems, considering finite word-length effects. In particular, the present toolbox works as a front-end to a recently introd
In this paper, we consider the state controllability of networked systems, where the network topology is directed and weighted and the nodes are higher-dimensional linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical systems. We investigate how the network topology
In many large systems, such as those encountered in biology or economics, the dynamics are nonlinear and are only known very coarsely. It is often the case, however, that the signs (excitation or inhibition) of individual interactions are known. This
This paper investigates the consensus problem of multiple uncertain Lagrangian systems. Due to the discontinuity resulted from the switching topology, achieving consensus in the context of uncertain Lagrangian systems is challenging. We propose a new
