Introduction

  • VDI 2206
  • Medicine components = system components solving the problem
  • Modules synergy

Examples

  • ABS

Components

  • Control can be of different types (mechanical, logic gates, FPGA), not necessarily an MCU

Philosophy

  • Concurrent
  • Synergy (systems engineer) Requirements satisfaction
  • Design considerations
    • Plug and Play
    • Integration
    • Assembly
    • Disassembly and Maintenance
    • Interfaces
    • Connectors
    • Manufacturing
  • Features development and extensibility
  • Efficiency
    • Cost

Design Methodologies

  • Mechatronic System structure

Problem-solving cycle

  • Macro: Phases of Mechatronic Systems Design Process
    • Requirements
      • Technical & Non-technical
    • System Design (conceptual design, (functional) block diagram)
    • Domain specific design (detailed design) = Modelling and simulation
      • MiL (simulation block diagrams)
      • SiL ()
      • HiL (hardware controller)
    • System integration (high weight)
      • Distributed components
      • Modular
      • Spatial
    • Assurance (validation and verification)
      • verification technical requirements satisfied
      • validation product satisfies needs
  • Micro: Problem-solving cycle as a micro-cycle (quick brainstorming)
