Abstract
A new function-oriented theoretical basis for the development of mechatronic system design methods is presented in the paper, with a technology-independent functional description of such aspects in a mechatronic system as (a) relations and distinctions among purpose function, transformation function, and state transition; (b) structure of information processing; and (c) secondary functions. All discussions are then summarized in a set of axioms and theorems, which consequently form the basis for devising design models and methods for mechatronic systems.
