Information

This package includes the implementation of the C13 comparison system "Crane and Embedded Control" proposed by ARGESIM.
A detailed description of the system can be found in [1].

The system is composed by a crane that moves along a horizontal rail transporting a load, which has been modeled as a continuous-time system.
The crane system has been modeled as a continuous-time model, using the linear and non-linear equations described in [1].

That crane is controlled by a discrete regulator, modeled using DEVSLib and components from the Modelica Standard Library.
The communication between the crane system and the controller has been performed using the interface models included in DEVSLib.

As described in the system definition, three tasks have been performed in order to evaluate its results and compare them with previous implementations.

• Task A compares the linear and the non-linear implementation of the crane system, using multiple disturbances.
• Task B evaluates the response of the system without using the brake and the emergency stop.
• Task C evaluates the behavior of the brake and the emergency stop.
