description

Abstract The paper presents the design of digital controllers based on two models: the Petri net model, and the UML state machine. These two approaches differ in many aspects of design flow, such as conceptual modelling, and analysis and synthesis. Each of these approaches can be used individually to design an efficient logic controller, and such solutions are well-known, but their interoperability can contribute to a much better understanding of logic controller design and validation. This is especially important in the case of safety- or life-critical embedded systems, and apart from this, a dual-model controller design can make up redundant system increasing its reliability.
