The following rules have been applied in order to create PDDL files from IEC 62264 production system models. # PDDL Domain Definitions ## Metamodel Concepts Metamodel concepts of IEC 62264 are being converted to a set of PDDL type specifications and predicates. Relevant elements are those that appear within a given IEC 62264 model. Unused elements are not translated in order to reduce file size and increase performance and readability. * IEC 62264 elements (e.g., `Equipment`, `Equipment Class`) are converted to types. * IEC 62264 relations (e.g., `Equipment` can be classified by [0..*] `Equipment Classes`) are converted to predicates. For the above mentioned examples, the IEC 62264 concepts are translated from ```mermaid classDiagram Person "0..*" --> "0..*" Personnel Class : defined by Equipment "0..*" --> "0..*" Equipment Class : defined by Material Lot "0..*" --> "1" Material Definition : defined by Material Definition "0..*" --> "0..*" Material Class : grouped by ``` to ```pddl (:types PersonnelClass Person EquipmentClass Equipment MaterialClass MaterialDefinition MaterialLot ) (:predicates (PersonClassed ?P - Person ?C - PersonnelClass) (EquipmentClassed ?E - Equipment ?C - EquipmentClass) (MaterialClassed ?D - MaterialDefinition ?C - MaterialClass) (MaterialDefined ?L - MaterialLot ?D - MaterialDefinition) (MaterialLotClassed ?L - MaterialLot ?C - MaterialClass) ) ``` Where the last predicate `(MaterialLotClassed ?L - MaterialLot ?C - MaterialClass)` is the composition of `defined by` and `grouped by` in the material information model. ## Model Concepts IEC 62264 instance data is converted into PDDL information using the rules laid out in the following clauses. Note, that we are using class diagram visual syntax instead of object diagram syntax due to limitations in the used Markdown rendering engine. ### * Class and Material Definition `* Class` and `Material Definition` instances are converted to constants From ```mermaid classDiagram class MaintenanceEngineer <> MaintenanceEngineer class PositioningUnit <> PositioningUnit class Chassis <> Chassis class ChassisBlack <> ChassisBlack ``` to ```pddl (:constants PC_MaintenanceEngineer - PersonnelClass EC_PositioningUnit - EquipmentClass MC_Chassis - MaterialClass MD_Chassis-Black - MaterialDefinition ) ``` ### * Class Property and Material Definition Property Boolean `* Class Property` and `Material Definition Property` instances are converted to predicates and actions. Non-boolean properties are not supported in the current state of implementation. The actions are only generated, if the property is not marked as of kind `implicit`, in which case the corresponding predicate is only triggered by other actions' effects. From ```mermaid classDiagram class PositioningUnit <> PositioningUnit class Locked <> Locked PositioningUnit *-- Locked : has property ``` to ```pddl (:predicates (PositioningUnitLocked ?E - Equipment) ) (:action LockPositioningUnit :parameters (?E - Equipment) :precondition (and (EquipmentClassed ?E EC_PositioningUnit) (not (PositioningUnitLocked ?E)) ) :effect (and (increase (total-cost) 1) (PositioningUnitLocked ?E) ) ) (:action UnlockPositioningUnit :parameters (?E - Equipment) :precondition (and (EquipmentClassed ?E EC_PositioningUnit) (PositioningUnitLocked ?E) ) :effect (and (increase (total-cost) 1) (not (PositioningUnitLocked ?E)) ) ) ``` Please, note that we have applied hard-coded "pretty-printing" to some of the `* Class Property` instances. In the above case `PositioningUnit`'s `locked` is translated into the terms `LockPositioningUnit` and `UnlockPositioningUnit`. The default translation for this instance would be `PositioningUnitLockedTrue` `PositioningUnitLockedFalse`. Action cost for setting a property are considered to be 1. ### Resource Network Connection Type `Resource Network Connection Type` instances are converted to predicates. From ```mermaid classDiagram class EquipmentReachTo <> EquipmentReachTo class MaterialLocation <> MaterialLocation ``` to ```pddl (:predicates (ReachesTo ?R ?E - Equipment) (MaterialLocation ?M - MaterialLot ?E - Equipment) ) ``` Please, note that we have applied hard-coded "pretty-printing" to some of the `ResourceNetworkConnectionType` instances. In the above case `EquipmentReachTo` is translated into the term `ReachesTo`. ### Process Segment `Process Segment` instances are converted to actions, with their `* Segment Specification` instances becoming their parameters and being used in certain pre and post condition statements. In the example below, we are not listing all elements specified in the IEC 62264 input model, as this would increase complexity a lot. Instead, we are listing the main elements of the input model, but we are listing the complete result for the PDDL domain description. From ```mermaid classDiagram class MoveShuttle <> MoveShuttle class SHUTTLE <> SHUTTLE class Shuttle <> Shuttle class FROM <> FROM class TO <> TO class LockedFrom { <> description = "pddl:pre" value = false } class PositioningUnit <> PositioningUnit class TransportationNode <> TransportationNode class LockedTo { <> description = "pddl:pre" value = false } class Locked <> Locked MoveShuttle *-- SHUTTLE : contains MoveShuttle *-- FROM : contains MoveShuttle *-- TO : contains SHUTTLE --> Shuttle : specifies FROM *-- LockedFrom : has property FROM --> PositioningUnit : specifies FROM --> TransportationNode : specifies TO --> PositioningUnit : specifies TO --> TransportationNode : specifies TO *-- LockedTo : has property PositioningUnit *-- Locked : has property LockedFrom --> Locked : corresponds to LockedTo --> Locked : corresponds to ``` to ```pddl (:action MoveShuttle :parameters (?SHUTTLE ?FROM ?TO - Equipment) :precondition (and (EquipmentClassed ?SHUTTLE EC_Shuttle) (or (EquipmentClassed ?FROM EC_PositioningUnit) (EquipmentClassed ?FROM EC_TransportationNode) ) (imply (EquipmentClassed ?FROM EC_PositioningUnit) (not (PositioningUnitLocked ?FROM)) ) (or (EquipmentClassed ?TO EC_PositioningUnit) (EquipmentClassed ?TO EC_TransportationNode) ) (imply (EquipmentClassed ?TO EC_PositioningUnit) (not (PositioningUnitLocked ?TO)) ) (TransportationNodeConnection ?FROM ?TO) (EquipmentLocation ?SHUTTLE ?FROM) (not (EquipmentLocation ?SHUTTLE ?TO)) ) :effect (and (increase (total-cost) (shuttle-time ?FROM ?TO)) (not (EquipmentLocation ?SHUTTLE ?FROM)) (EquipmentLocation ?SHUTTLE ?TO) ) ) ``` Please, note that we are adding a few pre- and post conditions hard-coded in the transformation process, based on our knowledge of the underlying production system, e.g., utilization of the `EquipmentLocation` and `TransportationNodeConnection` predicates. Further, the action cost are encoded as a function `shuttle-time` that is filled with values in the PDDL problem description. # PDDL Problem Definitions ## Person, Equipment, and Material Lot Instances of `Person`, `Equipment`, and `Material Lot` are converted to objects. Their relations to `* Class` or `Material Definition` instances are materialized as initialization statements. From ```mermaid classDiagram class MaintenanceEngineer1 <> MaintenanceEngineer1 class MaintenanceEngineer <> MaintenanceEngineer class Shuttle1 <> Shuttle1 class Shuttle <> Shuttle class ChassisBlack1 <> ChassisBlack1 class ChassisBlack <> ChassisBlack class Chassis <> Chassis MaintenanceEngineer1 --> MaintenanceEngineer : defined by Shuttle1 --> Shuttle : defined by ChassisBlack1 --> ChassisBlack : defined by ChassisBlack --> Chassis : grouped by ``` to ```pddl (:objects P_MaintenanceEngineer-1 - Person E_Shuttle-1 - Equipment ML_Chassis-Black-1 - MaterialLot ) (:init (PersonClassed P_MaintenanceEngineer-1 PC_MaintenanceEngineer) (EquipmentClassed E_Shuttle-1 EC_Shuttle) (MaterialClassed MD_Chassis-Black MC_Chassis) (MaterialDefined ML_Chassis-Black-1 MD_Chassis-Black) (MaterialLotClassed ML_Chassis-Black-1 MC_Chassis) ) ``` ## Resource Network Connection `Resource Network Connection` instances are converted to init statements, except for goal description models, where they are converted to goal statements. From ```mermaid classDiagram class Robot1ReachesToTable1 <> Robot1ReachesToTable1 class Robot1ReachesToPUMC1 <> Robot1ReachesToPUMC1 class Robot1ReachesToPUMC2 <> Robot1ReachesToPUMC2 class EquipmentReachTo <> EquipmentReachTo Robot1ReachesToTable1 --> EquipmentReachTo : derived from Robot1ReachesToPUMC1 --> EquipmentReachTo : derived from Robot1ReachesToPUMC2 --> EquipmentReachTo : derived from ``` to ```pddl (:init (ReachesTo E_Robot-1 E_Table-1) (ReachesTo E_Robot-1 E_PositioningUnit-MachiningCenter-1) (ReachesTo E_Robot-1 E_PositioningUnit-MachiningCenter-2) ) ``` ## Intralogistic Routing Topology `Resource Network Connection` instances of type `Transport-System-Track-Connection` and `Transport-System-Positioning-Unit-Connection` are converted in a very specific way. The former raw connections represent the physical connections of all track curves, lines, and switches. The latter represent the physical location where a positioning unit has been attached to a track. This information is read in, and a directed graph structure is generated. Here, we already show a simplified graph where only topologically important elements are kept (curves and straight lines without positioning units attached are removed). Elements starting with a `J` are `Joins`, `D` depicts `Divides`, and `A` represents a special item, an `Arena` (two inputs, two outputs). Stadium-shaped nodes depict positioning units. ```mermaid graph LR J5 --> A1 D4 --> J4 D3 --> P1([PU-MC-1]) --> J3 D2 --> P2([PU-MC-2]) --> J3 --> J2 D1 --> P3([PU-MC-3]) --> J2 --> J1 A1 --> J1 --> D1 --> D2 --> D3 --> D4 --> P10([PU-IO-2]) --> J4 --> D5 --> J5 A1 --> P100([PU-IO-1]) --> A1 D5 --> P50([PU-Buffer]) --> J5 ``` In order to reduce computational complexity for the PDDL solver, an even more simplified topology is computed that only contains the positioning units and leaves out all intermediate elements. The edge weight of the graph corresponds to the physical track length between the positioning units and is converted into seconds based on an assumed average speed of 0.56 m/s. ```mermaid graph LR P1 & P2 & P3 & P10 & P50 --> P100([PU-IO-1]) P1 & P2 & P3 & P10 & P100 --> P50([PU-Buffer]) P1 & P2 & P3 & P50 & P100 --> P10([PU-IO-2]) P1 & P2 & P10 & P50 & P100 --> P3([PU-MC-3]) P1 & P3 & P10 & P50 & P100 --> P2([PU-MC-2]) P2 & P3 & P10 & P50 & P100 --> P1([PU-MC-1]) ``` For each "positioning unit connection" two init statements are created: one that states that these two positioning units are connected with each other (`TransportationNodeConnection`), and another one setting the function value for the function `shuttle-time`, representing the estimated traveling time in seconds between these two positioning units. The resulting PDDL init statements are listed below: ```pddl (:init (TransportationNodeConnection E_PositioningUnit-MachiningCenter-3 E_PositioningUnit-MachiningCenter-2) (= (shuttle-time E_PositioningUnit-MachiningCenter-3 E_PositioningUnit-MachiningCenter-2) 25) (TransportationNodeConnection E_PositioningUnit-MachiningCenter-3 E_PositioningUnit-MachiningCenter-1) (= (shuttle-time

relation in the `MaterialClass` and `MaterialDefinition` instances. From ```mermaid classDiagram class OpenTopBlackYellowBlue <> OpenTopBlackYellowBlue class ChassisBlack <> ChassisBlack class CabinYellow <> CabinYellow class BodyOpenTopBlue <> BodyOpenTopBlue OpenTopBlackYellowBlue --> BodyOpenTopBlue : assembled from OpenTopBlackYellowBlue --> CabinYellow : assembled from OpenTopBlackYellowBlue --> ChassisBlack : assembled from ``` to ```pddl (:init (MaterialDefinitionAssembly MD_OpenTop-Black-Yellow-Blue MD_Chassis-Black) (MaterialDefinitionAssembly MD_OpenTop-Black-Yellow-Blue MD_Cabin-Yellow) (MaterialDefinitionAssembly MD_OpenTop-Black-Yellow-Blue MD_Body-OpenTop-Blue) ) ``` Information about the current assembly state are expressed through the assembly relation of the `MaterialLot` relation. This is not only used to express the current state, but also for the formulation of goal statements, es depicted below. The `from` IEC 62264 model is extracted from the [goal description model](../iec62264/CIIRC-Testbed-TASE-Goal-1.iec62264).
