Modular Digital Simulation of Electro/Hydraulic Drives Using CSMP

Abstract

The advantages and disadvantages of different programming languages for the digital simulation of continuous dynamic systems have often been discussed during recent years. In particular, the question was asked whether simulation problems should be solved by using a user-oriented programming language such as FORTRAN, ALGOL, PL/I, etc., or by using a problem-oriented programming language such as CSMP, MIMIC, SLANG, etc.. In this discussion, there is still one point of great importance that, in our opinion, was not yet enough taken into consideration: the modularity of subprograms. It remains to show that the CSMP-language provides the user with a very powerful instrument for obtaining complete modularity of subprograms. In the following, we shall always use the electro/hydraulic drives as an illustration for the modular, digital simulation using CSMP.
