Analysis of the Influence of System-Architecture on the Reactivity of Networked Automation Systems
Abstract:
When building a control system, two different execution models for the controller are
possible. The classical cyclic model used in PLCs and the interrupt based model
used in most microcontroller systems. In Networked Automation Systems, additionally
a similar choice has to be made between the time-triggered (cyclic) Client-
Server communication model and the event-based Producer/Consumer model.
Those choices have an influence on the response time of the resulting system.
Based on a formal analysis approach the differences between the resulting architectures
are shown.
Keywords: Response Time, Client/Server, Producer/Consumer, Probabilistic Model Checking.
