Abstract

The development of a control software design environment, namely the Integrated Design Notation (IDN), is presented. IDN supports the design, development and implementation of decentralised distributed control systems. A cable extrusion process is targeted as a demonstrator application, where object-oriented technology is expected to facilitate the improvement of extruder control in a distributed environment. IDN is based on the Unified Modelling Language (UML). A CASE tool supporting UML is integrated with IDN. The translation to integrate a control software tool (Simulink) and options to generate automatic Java code are described.
