Abstract:
Due to “state-space explosion” of discrete-event systems, to quickly design reliable control software is very difficult although it is required in some applications such as smart manufacturing. As is well known, the theory and tools about analysis and synthesis of Petri nets have been well developed. Therefore, this problem may be well addressed if a controller can be designed as a Petri net. In this talk, the methods are introduced to design Petri-net controllers for partially controllable and/or observable discrete-event systems, to convert a Petri net controller to a ladder diagram (a program of programmable logical controller), and to design a ladder diagram for collision avoidance in an automatic guided vehicle system.
