Abstract
The design of a control software design environment, namely the Integrated Design Notation (IDN) is presented. IDN supports the design, development and implementation of decentralised distributed control systems. A cable extrusion process is targeted as a demonstrator application, where object-orientation technology is expected to facilitate the improvement of extruder control in a distributed environment. The IDN is based on the Unified Modelling Language (UML). A CASE toll supporting UML is integrated with the IDN. The translation to integrate a control software tool (Simulink) and options to generate automatic Java code are described.
