Design and integration of industrial automation systems require cooperation of different engineering disciplines and various engineering tools during both design and run time. The scope of this paper is to bridge the gap between design-time description and runtime integration in a semi-automated way. Furthermore, we address the problem of integrating legacy systems with no access to original engineering data. It is assumed that an interface between a real industrial system and software automation tools is OPC Unified Architecture (UA) and we propose to derive the plant knowledge from the OPC UA tag list. Since it is not possible to solve this task in general, we require the tag list to adopt the naming convention of IEC 81346, which is widespread in large-scale systems. This tag list is parsed and the engineering knowledge is derived and stored in the engineering Knowledge Base. Consequently, the plant knowledge is mapped to knowledge related to software automation tools, such as simulators. The proposed methodology is evaluated on a real-life example dealing with a laboratory tank model.
The reliability of AFM based nanomanipulation is one of the prerequisites for nano fabricating, thus uncertainties of the target nano-particle position need to be controlled within a pointed limits, which lead to two ...

This contribution aims a revision and extension of the ring of retarded quasipolynomial meromorphic functions (RMS) for description and control of time-delay systems (TDS). The original definition has some significant drawbacks - especially, it does not constitute a ring. Our new definition extends the usability to neutral TDS and to those with distributed delays. As first, basic algebraic notions useful for this paper are introduced. A concise overview of algebraic methods for TDS follows. The original and the revised definitions of the ring together with some its properties finish the contribution. There are many illustrative examples that explain introduced terms and findings throughout the paper.

The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretical framework enabling to design tracking feedback for a general Acrobot trajectory which allows rigorous convergence proof. It is based on the partial exact feedback linearization of the Acrobot model followed by further approximate feedback linearization of the tracking error dynamics for arbitrary target trajectory. The approach presented here enables to prove the convergence in a rigorous way at least for small initial tracking errors. The slight novelty here is that neglecting is made with respect to tracking error along any general trajectory to be tracked, not just in some neighborhood of fixed working point. To demonstrate viability of this approach, simulations of a tracking of a walking-like cyclic trajectory are presented. The walking includes several steps including impacts between them. As a matter of fact, the exponentially stable tracking during the swing phase only is capable to stabilize overall walking, including the effect of the impacts.

The article deals with implementation of MEMS sensors to real-time safety circuit for automated rehabilitation device. It is necessary to acquire information about some dangerous situation during the rehabilitation process as fast as possible. We need a real-time response from sensors, because there is additional time needed to stop a device of several milliseconds. There is designed solution the angle, velocity, acceleration and vibration of each joints of rehabilitation arm are monitored. The Device works independently of the control system, detects critical states, stops rehabilitation process and store critical data. Two accelerometers (analog and digital) and one gyroscope sensor are used in the device. The main information is acquired from combination of MEMS accelerometer values. Gyroscope provides a check data for operation reliability. The designed solution can be used in other automated devices too, where some unpredictable error during the operation can cause a human injury.

The usage of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in industrial environments has been steadily increasing, due to the reduced deployment and maintenance costs, when compared to the use of wired networks for connecting single I/O points in industrial applications. The most promising WSN standard is the one defined by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. However, it does not support the adequate mechanisms to deal with the unreliable nature of an industrial communication environment. In this paper, we propose an extension of the use classes available for this standard, together with the proposal of adequate message retransmission schemes, in order to increase the reliability of message exchanges in industrial environments. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes, we present a simulation assessment of both the proposed message retransmission schemes and the Guaranteed Time Slots (GTS) mechanism, as defined by the standard.

The paper presents a brief overview of the projects integrating the development of ICTs with the rehabilitation system for people with risk of fall that are solved under the Ambient Assistive Technology (AAL) programme. The paper includes description of our concept of the diagnostic and rehabilitation system with preventative features to decrease the risks of fall and its consequences in elderly. It integrates functions of two systems developed within the two research projects MonAMI (6FP) and SMILING (7FP) where we participated. The main goal is to ensure higher safety for seniors who are in risk of falls and are living alone. The first module of the integrated rehabilitation system is aimed to identification of falls and emergency communication system for the households of elderly living alone. The platform for that is system developed under the 6FP - MonAMI. The second module of the diagnostic and rehabilitation system plays a preventive role as a home rehabilitation device used for regular training of gait during daily activities. The device is based on an innovation of the motorized mechatronic shoe TUKE developed under the 7FP project SMILING. Users train their walk ability during performance of everyday tasks while solving unexpected perturbations simulating influence of external environment by surmounting the uncertainty when stepping on. The complex system is undertaking the challenge to come in market where we see an absence of preventive, diagnostic-rehabilitation centers aimed on people (elderly) with risk of fall. The end users will be rehabilitation clinics, geriatric centers, social services and condition centers, but preferably individual users, mostly seniors.

Unlike prevailing contemporary approach considering the influx feed flow as the only crucial input influencing the final product concentration in bioprocess cultivation, the current paper considers other (non-nutritional) inputs as well. Among them, the volume withdrawal is an important option. Two types of control strategies employing this second input are considered here, each of them using it in a different way. First, the so-called quasi-double-input strategies exploit the broth withdrawal to follow a pre-determined volume profile. Second, the true-double-input strategies consider the second input as a completely independent optimization variable. Main analysis tool here is the gradient optimization numerical algorithm and its adaptations. All resulting strategies are summarized and formulated in the context of optimization, those introduced earlier (i.e., the quasi-double-input) are unified into a common general strategy. Practical complication (inadmissible volume decrease) related to withdrawal introduction is successfully addressed and the summary results show indisputable improvement gained by the non-nutrient input introduction.

This paper presents a dual layer approach for robust fault tolerant estimation of nonlinear processes using a combined adaptive extended Kalman filter and fault detection and filter reconfiguration. From the one hand, the filter is made robust in face of environment uncertainty using adaptive filtering. To this end, the filter identifies the measurement covariance by means of recursive estimation, upon which the adaptation relies, to suppress the effect of sporadic variations in the quality of measurements as well as compensates for incipient sensor faults. From the other hand, fault monitoring is continuously applied to the filter's innovation in an attempt to initiate filter reconfiguration when the adaptation mechanism alone is not able to overcome the failure situation. The discussion of the results is embedded in the application framework of state estimation of a batch distillation process.
