N2 - Developing PLC software for modern machine tools is becoming more difficult because of the increasing functionality and resulting complexity. An approach for managing this is provided by the model-driven development of the control software. However, this innovative development method requires both a procedure that is adapted to the specific application domain and suitable modeling techniques. The article describes an approach appropriate for machine tools. The focus is on introducing the necessary description techniques and a methodology for their use in product development.
