Introduction

CANopen for Lifts, specified in CiA 417, has reached a maturity that allows fast development cycles, short integration times and easy maintenance. This article shows the usage of model based development methods and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing for lifts, following well-known schemes from automotive engineering and transforming them for lifts. This work is based upon the modeling of a lift system by Matlab/Simulink, which later will be used as a HIL test bench. The paper discusses how conformity tests and integration tests can be conducted in the proposed environment. Furthermore a demonstrator lift is presented that takes advantage of the proposed ideas.
