Abstract
This paper describes a new approach for the generation of mechatronic validation models of automated production installations. It points out the function structure as a possible reference model for domain-specific engineering and analyzes the use of function structures not only in the concept phase but throughout the engineering phase. With electrical and software engineering being component/object oriented and mechanical engineering leaning onto process planning this paper presents ideas on accomplishing cross domain communication through function modeling based on process planning.
