Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of synthesizing a supervisory control scheme for the start-up procedure of a distillation column. We use techniques from the areas of hybrid and discrete event systems theory to solve the problem: First, the detailed plant model is approximated by an automaton. Then, a discrete control scheme is generated for the abstract (automaton) model. By construction, the automaton behaviour covers the detailed model behaviour. Hence, the controller not only forces the abstraction but also the underlying detailed plant model to obey the specifications.
