4. General methodology for designing control architectures for communicating automated systems

As with all projects and their associated project management, various description and modeling tools need to be adopted and implemented prior to the development, installation and validation phases. The literature offers a wide range of references on this subject. However, some of the most important tools are listed below:

• Functional specifications (CDCF, standard NF X 50-151) ;

• Technical specifications of requirements (STB, reference: RNC-CNES-E-10-504);

• the "V" cycle;

• functional analysis (NF X50-100 standard) ;

• synoptics and plans ;

• summary tables characterizing the quantity of physical inputs-outputs to be processed;

• Guide d'étude de modes...
