Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for computer-aided simulation of a technical system, which system comprises several components.
- Such systems are, in particular, large plants for the production or the coordination of chemical and / or physical processes.
- Terms of object-oriented programming are known from [1].
- a class is instantiated and an object of the type of the class is created.
- any number of objects of the same type i.e. with the same functionality, can be instantiated.
- the functionality is hidden (encapsulated) in the object, the access from outside or the message to the outside remains via predetermined interfaces, in particular through method calls.
- a hierarchical structure of types is possible, which use common functionality via the mechanism of inheritance.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for computer-aided simulation of a technical system, which simulation before the planning is implemented ensures a significant reduction in planning errors and the associated costs.
- the computer-aided simulation takes place in particular based on real plant components.
- one component in particular is assumed to represent the real plant component.
- a method for computer-aided simulation of a technical system comprises several components.
- Each component contains at least one interface and a functionality is inscribed in each component.
- the simulation of the technical system is carried out by assembling the several components and exchanging information between the components via the at least one interface, an interaction of the several components being controlled and evaluated on the basis of a main process.
- the main process ensures in particular an interaction of the individual components and thus a simulation process by ensuring that the main process manages a simulated time (the time that would pass in the real replica of the simulated technical system).
- a further development of the invention is that a component is a plant object.
- the plant object is part of the technical system to be simulated.
- the component is a
- the instantiation of a class enables the creation of a (simulated) plant object, whereby all the described functionality of the plant object is available in this instance. If you need several plant objects of this type, they can be instantiated several times. Hierarchical types of plant objects that have different functionalities are created using the inheritance mechanism. The functionality of a plant object is encapsulated in the respective plant object and can only be accessed from the outside via predefined interfaces. In this way, many plant objects can be combined as a new plant object and made available as part of the technical system. According to the explanation from [1], the type of the plant object is declared as a class, an instance represents an actual representative of the class.
- a technical system is understood to mean a more or less complex technical system, preferably from the field of process engineering, whereby each system can in turn be part of a higher-level - accordingly larger - system.
- This hierarchical structuring is taken into account in particular by the mechanism of encapsulating the functionality of the plant object.
- the component is in particular a plant object, e.g. Motor, pump, valve, pipeline, container, fitting, controller (PID, PI, P), machine tool, bearing, converter, transformer, generator, gear, propeller, busbar,
- Circuit breaker hydraulics, and is preferably modeled by a suitable description form.
- a suitable description form When describing the component, particular attention is paid to the specification to be simulated, i.e. the functionality of the component is simulated using the description form, preferably using systems of equations.
- the main process (also: sequence control) ensures their functional interaction through suitable control of the components.
- the main process also evaluates the
- the at least one interface comprises a first partial interface and a second partial interface.
- the first sub-interface has an input and an output, a material flow being modeled via the input and the output of the first sub-interface.
- the second sub-interface also has an input and an output, a change in a manipulated variable of the component being carried out by the input of the second sub-interface and one by the output of the second sub-interface
- Feedback about the state of the material flow and / or about a state of the change in the manipulated variable can be determined.
- the component in particular the plant object, thus comprises a material flow relevant in process engineering (first sub-interface) and an information technology interface (second sub-interface).
- the information technology interface is used in particular to control a manipulated variable of the respective component and to determine a target / actual difference between the set manipulated variable and the resulting manipulated variable.
- the component in particular the plant object, is represented by at least one of the following forms of description:
- a differential algebraic system includes both algebraic systems of equations as well
- F is the filling quantity
- t is the time
- q 2u the inflow into the container
- g_ab the outflow from the container
- p the bottom pressure in the container
- A the base area of the container
- p the density of the liquid
- g the acceleration due to gravity.
- An event-discrete model means in particular a time-triggered model. Based on time units, a message is transmitted to the main process or to another component in order to initiate processing associated with a triggering time.
- Interfaces of the components in particular have structural information. Using this structural information, it is possible to suitably model properties that result from the structure of the technical system (or the overall system).
- the properties of the interfaces are set according to a state of a component, these
- a closed valve gives the Structure property "pressure is set” does not pass on to an adjacent component.
- a container surrenders the pressure at its interface. If a component is located between two closed valves, this special situation is known from the structural information within the component and can be taken into account in the modeling. Accordingly, the component provides a substitute value for the pressure that is used in the modeling.
- the structural information inherent in the component is taken into account by the main process in such a way that this structural information is communicated across components in accordance with the predetermined connection of the components and thus potential conflicts of the simulation are resolved.
- Another further development consists in that a process behavior is modeled by the first interface and a control behavior by the second interface.
- the process behavior is understood to be the mapping of the material flow customary in process engineering to the model, with a control behavior of the information technology design equaling the target / actual value of the manipulated variables of a component.
- the component generates messages via at least one of the following mechanisms:
- the component generates a variable change with the address of a target component and transmits it to the main process; c) the component becomes one method of another
- Called component by generating the name of the method with the address of the target component and transmitting it to the main process.
- the main process comprises the following steps:
- the management of the queue is the main process.
- Another development consists in the fact that at least one interface of each component is designed in such a way that several components can be simply put together according to their underlying technical meaning.
- the modularity of the individual components, which connect to one another via predefined interfaces, and a simulation sequence according to a technical system, which results from the way in which the components are connected to one another, is particularly advantageous.
- Fig.l a component that forms part of the system to be simulated
- Fig. 3 is a flow chart illustrating steps of a sequential control
- FIG. 6 shows a process plant for a three-tank example.
- Fig.l shows a sketch of a component, which is inscribed a functionality to be simulated.
- Component 101 comprises a first partial interface (102, 103), which has an input 102 and an output 103, and models a material flow.
- a second partial interface (104, 105) comprises an input 104, which input 104 enables a manipulated variable of component 101 to be changed, and an output 105, which Output 105 enables feedback on a state of the material flow and / or on a state of the change in the manipulated variable.
- Such a component 101 represents a modular unit of a technical system to be simulated.
- the component 101 is connected to further components via the interfaces (102-105).
- the combination of several components is the technical system which is an object of the invention to simulate.
- Interfaces can interact with components that have different functionalities, controlled by the main process.
- the sequence controller 204 ensures that the simulation is carried out, both communication between the components and communication between a component and the sequence controller taking place.
- the sequence controller 204 controls the components via the information technology interface (second sub-interface) and transfers the process behavior (material flow via the first sub-interface) taking into account a simulated time from one component to the next, with an influence on the process behavior in a respective component corresponding to that of the Component underlying technical functionality is taken into account.
- process behavior first sub-interface
- the control behavior second sub-interface, information technology interface
- the process control assigns messages to the components.
- FIG. 3 A flow diagram, which contains the steps of a main process 301 (sequence control), is shown in FIG.
- the overall functionality of the component is created by combining the description forms. Both this combination and the interaction of different components is guaranteed by the main process.
- Each form of description comprises one or more parts, which are referred to here as (description) segments. By naming the segments, the main process accesses the different segments, combines them and forms the corresponding sub-functionalities. 3 shows a segment in the form of a rectangle.
- the main process 301 executes the system simulation for a predetermined time interval which is between "start interval” 302 and "end interval” 303. By repeatedly executing the main process 301, a longer period of time can be simulated.
- the main process 301 calls up the segment "InputControl" 304 for all components, in which the inputs received from the simulation environment (for example user inputs, data from other programs, for example planning or control programs) are checked and accepted for each component become.
- the inputs received from the simulation environment for example user inputs, data from other programs, for example planning or control programs
- the main process 301 then processes the segment "SettingProperties" 305 for all components, in which the structural information that each component contributes is processed.
- the main process then evaluates 301 this structural information (cf. block 306) and thus makes the results of the evaluation available to subsequent segments.
- event-discrete modeling part 307 which is divided into a total of three segments.
- a segment "InitDiscreteModel” 308 is called once for each component, then a segment “DiscreteModel” 309 is executed repeatedly for all components. The main process repeats this segment
- Events that are to be taken into account at later times can be formulated within the three segments 307.
- the main process stores these events and makes them (and the data associated with the event) available to the segments when the time of the event is reached.
- the differential algebraic modeling part 311 which is divided into a total of seven segments, is now processed.
- the two segments "SelectionOfVariables" 312 and “SelectionOfEquations” 313 store which variables and which equations (algebraic equations and / or ordinary differential equations) should be included in the modeling at the current time.
- the definition of the equations is in the segments “G-Equations” 315 (for algebraic equations) and "F-Equations” 316 (for differential equations).
- the main process collects this data 301 and evaluates the resulting differential algebraic system (see block 318).
- the segment "JacobiEquations" 317 is optionally used, which allows the creation of the Jacobi matrix required for the mathematical solution of the system in minimal computing time.
- the evaluation requires that the simulated time progresses.
- the main process 301 controls this progress and stops the simulation computing time as soon as either an event time from the event-discrete model part or the end time of the time interval is reached.
- the main process 301 also checks whether a switching function, which is described in the "SwitchmgFunctions" segment 314, is triggered during the evaluation.
- a switching function can be used, for example, to check whether a time-dependent variable that is triggered by a
- Differential equation is modeled, has exceeded or fallen below a certain limit. If this is the case, the main process 301 generates an event for the current point in time.
- the segment "PostAlgebraic" 319 is called once for all components. Afterwards, if an event is pending, the system jumps back to evaluating the event-discrete event
- the segment “PostExecution” 320 is called once for all components, in which, in particular, outputs are made to a user or to other connected programs.
- FIG. 3 Not shown in FIG. 3 are two further segments that are called once by the main process for all components, at the time the simulation starts and immediately before the simulation ends. These two segments allow administrative and EDP measures (eg reading initialization files, closing files with additional statistical output, for example).
- the message format 401 comprises a time stamp 403 which provides information about a point in time to be executed and an addressee 404, the target component.
- a field 402 is also provided that classifies the type of message. If it is an event, this is shown in field 402 as well as if the message 401 is a notification of a change in the variable or the call of a function in a target component.
- FIG. 5 shows a queue 501 over a time t.
- a time t1 there are three events 502 to 504 in the queue, at a time t2 there is only the event 502 in the queue and at a time t3 the events 502 and 505 are in the queue.
- events 503 and 504 have ended, i.e. Event 504 included in the
- Fig. 6 shows a three-tank example of a process plant for mixing liquids.
- the three tanks T1, T2 and T3 are connected to one another via valves VI, V2 and V3, it being possible for liquids S1 and S2 to be added in the tanks T1 and T3 via pumps P1 and P2.
