Configuration language

RELATIVE attribute: Relative priority

Free processes will be assigned to higher priority classes more often than lower priority classes provided that there are pending or interrupted requests for these higher priority classes. If there are requests present for all classes, a free process will be assigned to TAC class 9 twice as often as to TAC class 10, and twice as often to TAC class 10 as to TAC class 11, etc.

EQUAL attribute: Equal priority

All classes will be serviced equally if there are requests present. This equal distribution can be disrupted if a class does not contain any pending requests at times or subpro- gram runs with blocking calls (e.g. KDCS call PGWT) frequently occur in that class.

Further information on the RELATIVE, ABSOLUTE and EQUAL attributes can be found in the openUTM documentation V5.0A, Generating and Handling Applications [26] in the section entitled TAC-PRIORITIES – specify priorities of the TAC classes.

The following TIMER, EVENT, CONTROL and PGWT attributes are optional and can be spec- ified in any order.

TIMER attribute

The T-ORB runtime system has an internal cyclical timer. This is a cyclical order (con- trolled by means of the CYCLETIME statement of the config generator) that takes over various tasks within T-ORB, e. g. initiation of the EventControl mechanism (see the EVENT attribute).

The TIMER attribute can be used to determine which priority class is to be assigned to the internal cyclical timer. TIMER can only be specified for one priority class. If the TI- MER attribute is not specified, the class with the average priority (rounded up to the next highest priority) will be assigned to the cyclical timer. If, for example, PRIO1 through PRIO4 is specified, PRIO2 will be assigned to the timer.

EVENT attribute

The T-ORB runtime system maintains the so-called EventControl mechanism internally. This mechanism is responsible for ensuring that requests to T-ORB/client applications that are buffered in the T-ORB application for technical reasons are actually delivered.

The EVENT attribute can be used to determine the priority class in which the EventControl mechanism is to run. EVENT can only be specified for one priority class. If the EVENT attribute is not specified, the class with the average priority (rounded down to the next lowest priority) will be assigned to the EventControl mechanism. If, for ex- ample, PRIO3 through PRIO7 is specified, PRIO5 will be assigned to the EventControl mechanism.

This attribute is only needed if T-ORB/client applications are connected to the T-ORB application.

V 4.0 specifications

Siemens V 4.0 is an advanced digital platform designed to enhance operational efficiency and streamline processes in various industries. It embodies the principles of Industry 4.0, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to create a more connected, intelligent, and automated manufacturing environment. This platform integrates data-driven insights and advanced analytics to facilitate informed decision-making and improve productivity.

One of the main features of Siemens V 4.0 is its ability to provide end-to-end visibility across the manufacturing value chain. By connecting machines, production lines, and supply chains through the Internet of Things (IoT), Siemens V 4.0 enables real-time monitoring and control. This connectivity allows companies to identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and enhance overall operational performance.

Another key technology embedded in Siemens V 4.0 is artificial intelligence (AI). AI algorithms analyze vast amounts of data generated throughout the production process, enabling predictive maintenance and optimizing production schedules. By anticipating equipment failures and streamlining operations, businesses can achieve significant cost savings and minimize disruptions.

Siemens V 4.0 also emphasizes the importance of automation and robotics. By integrating robotic process automation (RPA) into manufacturing workflows, companies can achieve higher levels of efficiency while reducing human error. This automation not only speeds up production times but also allows workers to focus on more complex tasks that require human ingenuity.

Additionally, Siemens V 4.0 supports advanced simulation and digital twin technology. Through the creation of virtual models of physical assets, manufacturers can simulate different scenarios, identify risks, and optimize design processes before implementation. This capability accelerates innovation while minimizing waste and resource consumption.

Another important characteristic of Siemens V 4.0 is its scalability. The platform can be tailored to meet the unique needs of various industries, from automotive to pharmaceuticals. This flexibility ensures that companies of all sizes can leverage its capabilities, driving global competitiveness.

In conclusion, Siemens V 4.0 is revolutionizing the manufacturing landscape through its comprehensive suite of features, including IoT connectivity, AI-driven insights, automation, and digital twin technology. By adopting this platform, businesses can transition toward more efficient and sustainable operations, ultimately preparing them for the future of industrial production.
