The independent designs guided by domain technologies of mechatronic system lead to the problem of hard compatibility and the difficulty to reuse resources between the systems. This paper presents an approach based on the reuse for modular mechatronic system, and a general framework for modular mechatronic system is designed. After the analysis of related characteristics of the mechatronic system, the modular principle of mechatronic system is proposed. Secondly, a general framework (F-Model) based on reusability of software and hardware in mechatronic system is developed. Following is to elaborate in details on the parts of software, hardware, and infrastructure of mechatronic system. Finally, 6-DOF industrial robot arm and medical accompany robot are taken as our experiment platform to design system based on F-Model. Results in practical application confirm the value of F-Model for reusing modules in designing mechatronic systems.
