Info-Chunk Driven RFLP Structure Based Product Model for Multidisciplinary Cyber Physical Systems

Abstract

Cyber Physical System (CPS) forms the basis of emerging and future smart services as it collaborates computational entities with the surrounding physical world. CPS demands a system level product model where it requires advanced engineering modeling and the possible solution is multidisciplinary CPS. In functional-logical level of multidisciplinary CPS, behavior representation allows concept level virtual execution of the model. Using own former research results, this paper proposes Info-Chunk entities in the functional level of Requirement Functional Logical Physical (RFLP) structure product model and then explains the communication between the cyber CPS unit entities with extended Info-Chunk driven RFLP structure by the Information Content (IC). Then, it explains the role of Info-Chunk in the active information content (AIC) which supports driving entities in RFLP and CPS cyber structures. Finally, communication between AIC, Info-Chunk driven RFLP structure and cyber units in the CPS of the product is discussed. Here, virtually executed complex models of products are converted into real world cyber physical systems using cyber physical production systems in accordance with the paradigm Industry-4.0.
