Conceptual Model in the Formal Basis of Hierarchical Systems for Mechatronic Design

Hierarchical Systems (HSs) technology is presented to define a conceptual model of an exemplary mechatronic object. The conceptual model suggested contains connected formal descriptions of the designed object structure, its aggregated dynamic representation in its environment, and the environment model. All the descriptions are connected by the coordinator, which performs the design and control tasks on its selection, learning, and self-organization strata. Coherence of the given conceptual model and traditional mathematical models is revealed. It allows easy transfer from the conceptual to the detailed design phase. A conceptual formal model of the design system in the form of the HS coordinator is presented.
