    Abstract : New combustion engine principles increase the demands on feedback combustion control, at the same time economical considerations currently enforce the usage of low-end control hardware limiting implementation possibilities. Significant development is simultaneously and continuously carried out within the field of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). READ MORE

  4. 2. On Formal Specification and Verification of Function Block Applications in Industrial Control Logic Development

    Author : Oscar Ljungkrantz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; safety logic; function block; IEC 61131; software requirements and specification; formal verification; reusable automation component RAC ; temporal logic; manufacturing automation software; programmable logic controller PLC ; model checking;

    Abstract : Developing a control system for an automated manufacturing system is a challenging task. In addition to controlling and coordinating the machines and robots used in the production, the safety of the operators must be assured. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development of a Novel Gas Turbine Simulator for Hybrid Solar-Brayton Systems

    Author : Tianyao Pan; Björn Laumert; Wujun Wang; Konstantinos Kyprianidis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gas turbine simulator; concentrating solar power; hybrid solar-Brayton system; pressure controller; choked nozzle; Programmable logic controller; proportional solenoid valve.; Gasturbinsimulator; koncentrerad solenergi; hybrid solenergi-Brayton-system; tryckregulator; strypt munstycke; programmerbar logikkontroller; proportionell magnetventil.; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

    Abstract : Hybrid solar-Brayton systems utilize both solar thermal energy and supplementary renewable fuels to provide controllable and dispatchable power output, which renders them a promising way to meet the growing energy demand and reduce the carbon footprints. However, existing testing facilities for key components in such hybrid systems often fail to accomplish the testing requirements, hence impeding the improvement of the renewable energy share and the overall efficiency.

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; IEC 61131; Programmable Logic Controller PLC ; IEC 61499; formal verification; Manufacturing automation software; software reusability; Reusable Automation Component RAC ; software specification;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programs in the manufacturing industry, that is to say programs that coordinate robots and machines. The last years there has been increased competition and shorter life-cycles of many mass-produced products. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the Implementation of Discrete Event Supervisory Control with Focus on Flexible Manufacturing Systems

    Author : Anders Hellgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In modern day production, the ability to quickly implement a control system is of increasing importance. In order to meet demands on shorter development times and easier reconfigurability, the design and implementation of the control system should be automated and provably correct. READ MORE
