there are two block types: discrete and continuous.
The discrete blocks are for digital devices, and
continuous are for analogic devices.
The simulation starts creating an equivalent
control network in Simulink. The corresponding
network blocks must be added to create the mdl file.
Parameters of each block are configured and
connections among blocks are created. The last step
is to add probability or schedules events for activate
sensors. Finally the mdl file is created and Simulink
executes the simulation and the environment reads
values from all Simulink network blocks and
represents them at environment.
5 CONCLUSIONS
This paper presents a design and simulation
environment of control networks in digital home.
The objective is to facilitate the tasks of designing
and validating control networks. A top-down
methodology is proposed, where technology
implementation choice is left to the end phase of
designing process. The environment kernel is the
control network model around different abstraction
layers: functional, structural and technological.
Simulation is presented as a new phase in
methodology of design control network. It reduces
costs and helps us to design effective and efficient
control networks.
The future work is aimed to deepening in aspects
of results generalization: new models for structural
and technological layers, simulation of technological
layer and interactive simulation module.
