This is a first of a series of presentations illustrating implementation of VDI 2206 guidelines into a five weeks project carried with my colleagues in post graduate course lectured by Dr. Mohamed Abdelaziz.

1. Design of Mechatronics Systems
Hardware In the Loop project proposal

You should learn how to integrate as a
gear in a bigger system rather than being
the whole system

maintaining Software / Hardware
interaction
11
Mechanical Modeling
SolidWorks design and
material selection

12. Mechanical System Design
Domain Specific Stage
08
Conceptual Design
 Building a single axis crane on SolidWorks.
 Assigning correct mates and materials.
 Exporting design to ADAMS / Simwise 4D and revalidate model if
needed.

13. Control System Design
Domain Specific Stage
08
System Identification
 Exciting mechanical model with pulsating signal and recording output.
 Using system identification in MATLAB / LabVIEW to estimate the
mathematical model.
 Tuning the controller to find best PID parameters.

14. Programming the System
Domain Specific Stage
08
Deploying Control System
 Generating code for hardware target.
 Tuning PID parameters to match hardware specifications.

15. Electronic System Design
Domain Specific Stage
08
Deploying Control System
 Deploying generated code on hardware target
 Maintaining connectivity of Hardware / Software interaction.

16. Project Workflow
Mechanical System
Sketching
Dimensioning parts and
parts
Material
selection
Material selection is based
on cost and avauilability

17. Parts Assembly
Assembling parts and
constructing proper mates.
Motion Testing
Using SoftMotion to test motion
with respect to mating and parts
assembly

18. Moving to
ADAMS /
SimWise
Exporting assembly to ADAMS
/ Simwise and testing
constraints.

19. Control Design
Preparing the model to
acquire feedback / actors plots
and variables

20. Characteristics
Logging
Exciting the system with
pulsating input and logging I/O

21. Estimating
Model
Using System Identification to
obtain mathematical model
PID Tuning
PID Automated Tuning using
MATLAB or LabVIEW

22. Code
Generation
Writing the code for hardware
target

23. Electronic
Deployment
Maintaining low level
connectivity of hardware /
software integration

24. HOW V-Model is adapted then??
Learning each assigned domain is carried in
PARALLEL
Integration is an ITERATIVE process (cross domain
interaction)
Each team member will submit:
• Design specification of his domain.
• Gaunt chart for workflow during semester.

25. Proof Of Concept
SIL Live Demo
