Abstract

The rising complexity of production automation systems and especially their automation software require new engineering concepts to support their development. Model-based concepts for the interdisciplinary development of production systems have been proposed in many research projects. In previous works of the authors an approach to enable interdisciplinary development of automation software, based on the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), has been developed and evaluated. One of the most important notations for the developed modeling approach is the SysML Parametric Diagram (PD). This paper briefly introduces the newly adapted modeling notation of the PD and presents the evaluation results from empirical usability experiments with human subjects.
