Abstract
Modelica Modeling language is powerful and suitable
for modeling mechatronic systems, being possible to interact
different technological aspects and deal, simultaneously with
different technologies (mechanical, electrical, pneumatic,
hydraulic,..). In this paper it is discussed, in a case study, the
possibility of using this language for modeling an automation
system (controller and plant) in closed loop behavior and also in
defining some parameters of the automation system in order to
optimize some behavior aspects of the system as, for instance,
the time cycle of the automation system. Some aspects relied
with controllers dependability are also discussed and it is
showed how Modelica modeling language can help controllers’
designers improving controllers dependability, when are used
