The invention relates to a control system with service-oriented architecture for a flexible production system, comprising decentralized, distributed devices coupled together via a data communication system for the exchange of data, said devices having at least one software component and electrical and/or mechanical components. Said invention also relates to a method based on the development and implementation of service-oriented software components as component parts of a service-oriented architecture for decentralized, distributed devices in flexible production systems. In order to achieve the aim of making the control system configurable in a low-cost manner in the event of changes in the production system or different production scenarios, it is proposed that the software component is derived from a process or subprocess of a PPR model of the flexible production system, wherein each software component has a control logic derived from the process or subprocess, a flexible interface for access to resources represented in the PPR model, and a communications interface for integration into the service-oriented architecture.
A control system with service-oriented architecture for a flexible production installation, comprising devices distributed in a decentralized manner, coupled to each other via a data communication system for the exchange of data and with at least one software component as well as electrical and/or mechanical components, characterized in that the software component is derived from a process or partial process of a PPR model of the flexible production system, in which each software component comprises a control logic derived from the process or partial process, comprises a flexible interface for access to resources represented in the PPR model as well as comprises a communication interface for integration in the service-oriented architecture.
A process for the configuration of a control system by the developing and implementing of service-oriented software components as components of a service-oriented architecture for devices distributed in a decentralized manner in flexible production installations, characterized in that the following process steps are carried out:
