Abstract

This paper presents a software tool running on WindowsR operating system, intended for formal and systematic design of supervisory controllers for discrete event systems described by Petri nets, and the automatic generation of Ladder code for RsLogix 500TM software. The software is based on general linear vector constraints, and in case of the inadmissibility of some of the imposed constraints, the software has three methods to transform them in admissible ones. The software has also two methods to find siphons and traps on the supervised PN, which is useful to prevent the dead lock of the supervised system. Once the supervisor fulfills the control requirements, the tool can transfer the supervisor, automatically, to Ladder code by the Token Passing Logic extended method.
