Abstract:In this case study, three description techniques representing Petri net and automata based approaches are applied on an industrial application: The control system for the tool changer of a manufacturing cell is developed. The techniques to be compared include common extensions both to the basic Petri net and automata concepts. In order to evaluate the applicability of the approaches, a set of practice oriented criteria is presented in the paper. Based on the experiences gained by the develop- ment of the control system, the approaches are evaluated to these criteria.
