Control of discrete event systems modelled by continuous Petri nets: case of opened manufacturing lines

摘要

In this work, we propose a methodology to study the control of a class of discrete event systems, more precisely of opened manufacturing lines. Our contribution is based on the variable speeds and the controlled maximal speeds continuous Petri net model. The computation of the control is made using standard linear programming methods. A study leading to a characterisation of the domain of accessible markings is presented.
