Standardization of automation, measuring, and ecu calibration systems

Objective



Objectives and content

Future processes in product design and manufacturing will be supported by interoperable building blocks of IT systems which themselves depend on a standardised information infrastructure to provide necessary data at any time in an intelligible way. This information highway will have to transfer measurement and simulation data as well as other product or process information.

Modern design and manufacturing processes will use and exchange measurement and simulation data to a much greater extent than today:

- Flexible and fast systems (e.g. on-line quality and performance monitoring) in production control and logistics need quick access to measurements of the current status.
- Production systems use information from tests more frequently (e.g. calibration parameters as determined in test runs are loaded to electronic control units (ECU) on the production line).
- Increasingly complex products need more effort for functional modelling as well as functional verification.
- Steps towards a virtual product and virtual production line like digital mock-up strongly depend on the verification of models by comparison of calculated and measured data.

In order to make data from measuring, automation, and simulation systems available on the information highway, and to decrease the enormous efforts spent for maintenance and development of today's monolith systems, modular part-systems have to be identified within automation, measuring, and simulation systems and standard interfaces have to be defined between them.
The aim of this proposal is to verify and improve standard interface specifications which have been defined by the Activity Group for the Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems (ASAM) and confirmed by the AIT Initiative, extend them where necessary, and establish the standards defined by ASAM. On basis of the ASAM standards an Automatic Calibration System (ACS) will be realized. This ACS is the implementation of methodologies used in the development of electronic control units of engines in a computer based environment.

This proposal is based on the user requirements having obtained on consensus during the pilot phase of the AIT Initiative (EP7704). This initiative aims to push forward the competitiveness of European Industry in Design and Manufacturing processes in key industrial sectors through the appropriate integration of Information Technology.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
