Method and device for verification of an automation system

摘要

Specific tests on vehicles or parts thereof must be performed and analyzed according to a prescribed standard. The verification of an automation system for performing such a test and the final result of such a test is a complex and time-consuming procedure, however. So as not to have to repeat the complex verification in the case of changes in the automation system, it is proposed that the correctness of a test run only be checked once and in the case of established correctness, the reference data defining the test run be stored as the reference standard. If a change is performed in the automation system, it is sufficient to perform the test run again and to compare the reference data of the reference standard to the new reference data.

1. A system for verifying an automation system, said verifying system comprising:
a simulation apparatus; an automation apparatus, wherein the automation apparatus and the simulation apparatus are connected to one another via an interface; the simulation apparatus is activated by the automation apparatus according to a test run to be performed; the simulation apparatus simulates (1) a test stand and a test subject to be tested with a test model, and (2) a data acquisition device situated on the test stand for acquiring data or a measured value with a device model; and, data or measured values generated by the test model and the device model are transmitted to the automation apparatus via the interface; a storage unit in which a reference standard for the test run is stored after the proper function of the automation apparatus and/or the result calculation for the performed test run has been established, whereas first reference data defining the simulation apparatus and/or the performed test run is stored in the reference standard, the test run being repeated if the automation system has been changed, whereas second reference data is generated, and an analysis unit which compares the first reference data stored in the reference standard to the second reference data and which verifies the changed automation system if the compared first and second reference data correspond, wherein the verifying system is configured for performance of the test run and delivering data or measured values and/or a result calculation based on these data or measured values.
