- This paper describes how a system, consisting of a discrete controller (e.g. a PLC) that controls a physical plant/process, can be formally verified. The physical process is assumed to be modeled using Sensor Graphs, a discrete event modeling language directed at physical systems with binary and identity sensors (e.g. RFID). The formal and graphical syntaxes of Sensor Graphs are presented and exemplified. The "semitimed" semantics is defined considering a process model together with a controller model, represented as a discrete state equation. Finally, it is shown how requirements on the closedloop system, represented by a Sensor Graph and a controller model, can be verified using the model checker Cadence SMV.

Simplified modeling of manufacturing systems: an introduction to sensor activation graphs
- 2005

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents a graphical modeling formalism, sensor activation graphs, which simplifies the design of discrete event models for a class of physical systems common within manufacturing industry. Sensor activation graphs captures, in an intuitive way, the relations between binary sensors, the physical entities that activate them, and the actuators of the system. Models expressed as sensor activation graphs are in most cases significantly simpler than corresponding automata or Petri net models. The presented formalism support two levels of detail, one that gives the general view on the order of sensor activation, and one with full control semantics that incorporates guard conditions on transitions. In addition, an algorithm for converting sensor activation graphs into a number of small deterministic finite state automata is presented.

Generation of restart states for manufacturing systems with discarded workpieces
- 2009

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In earlier work we presented a method for restart of manufacturing systems. After correction of an error, the system resumes normal production by returning to a certain restart state in the control function, and from there reexecutes parts of the work schedule. In the present paper the method is extended to handle also systems where some, but not necessarily all, workpieces are discarded during the error correction preceding the restart. The restart process must then replace the discarded workpieces with new ones. The workpieces that remain in the cell may limit the possibilities of executing certain operations needed to process the new workpieces correctly, thus complicating the restart. Properties of the restart states that guarantee a correct restart are defined, typical situations that make the system impossible to restart are presented, and some suggestions are given for modifications that make the system restartable.
