A generic Petri net model for flexible manufacturing systems and its use for FMS control software testing

摘要

Developing a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) controller is a complicated task both in the hardware development and software development. To test the control software prior to putting it into use is crucial for the development of a FMS controller. An intelligent testing environment for FMS controllers is under Development, the aim of which is to reduce manual work in the testing. To reach This objective the automatic building of a behavioural model of the FMS is Demanded.
