Abstract

Properties and environmental dependencies of mechatronic components like gear-drives and motors impact the overall performance of automated Production Systems. These properties, often in the form of characteristic curves, are only accessible from suppliers’ documents, like operating instructions or online catalogs. The proposed SysML’ profile integrates artifacts from SysML and UML into disciplinary views. It includes a reference mechanism to REXS (standard for gear properties) and ECLASS (standard for product data like UNSPSC) to overcome the semantic inconsistency of component properties and inclusion of curves. A metamodel is used for a more precise presentation of the proposed reference mechanism. Due to the static nature of a profile, a Business Process Modeling Notation is used to dynamically illustrate the benefits of SysML’ in the workflow.
