Integration of Simulator into AAS for Heat Transfer Station

Abstract

This work examines the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) in the role of modern management of production units, which is one of the key enablers of the Industry 4.0 phenomenon. The main idea is to connect the simulator with AAS and create a functional architecture that will correspond with the real system. The next step would then be to connect this system with the real one and manage it using this architecture. The open-source program OpenModelica was chosen for the simulation because of its versatile command line use. As an example, a heat transfer system is modeled and simulated. As the results indicate, the OpenModelica simulator takes time to run a simulation that depends on hyperparameters such as samples per interval. Also, submodel for simulation adapter could be templated.
