Abstract

This paper presents a modular Petri -net (MPN) based approach to
modelling and ana lysing machine control processes. /Jere production lines
which are charac terised by a set of modules (or machine objects) can be
controll ed by (1 MPN. Inte raction between different modules and
workpieces is encoded within the Petri-net by so called shared-transition
links. The paper describ es the integration and implementation of modular
Petri-net within a Universal Machine control (UMe) software environment
which has previously been devised and produced with ill the MS[ Research
Institu te at Loughborough Unive rsity. Pot entially the combined used of
Petri-net and UMC offers lIew and exciting opportunities to optimize the
behaviour of concurrent systems and to enable application in industrial
mac/line control.
