Introduction
- VDI 2206
- Medicine components = system components → solving the problem
- Modules synergy
Examples
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
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)
