Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented process, for developing and implementing a system-model (ASM) for the formal description of a real flexible production- and/or process-automation system (AS) comprised of multiple, distributed real components (HW 1 -HWN), with hardware (mechanic) and software (control), wherein for each hardware (mechanic) of the real components (HW 1 -HWN), an analyzable high-level-Petri Net model is generated via simulation processes, comprising the sequential steps of: identifying collaborative units (CAU generating a high-level-Petri net model (M preparing a single catalog (K) with said models (M assigning a set of rules (R) to said catalog (K) for the specification of interactions among said autonomous models (M generating the desired system-model (ASM) by connecting a selection of said models (M taking a selection of said rules (R) into account, whereby the models (M
