Modelling, simulation and control of manufacturing systems using hybrid petri nets

摘要

Hybrid Petri Nets are presented here to model a certain type of production systems called Hybrid systems and to study their behaviour and properties and after that to control these systems. These systems are characterised by having two parts within them the first is a continuous part and the second is a discrete part. By using the Hybrid Petri nets we could use the discrete part to control the continuous part or vice versa. We introduce here a software tool for modelling and simulation of these systems and then to control them. The paper presents an overview of this tool and its working environment and at the end an example is introduced.
