S. Kowalewski et al., USING MODEL-CHECKING FOR TIMED AUTOMATA TO PARAMETERIZE LOGIC CONTROLPROGRAMS, Computers & chemical engineering, 22, 1998, pp. 875-878
In this contribution we describe how the modeling and analysis framewo
rk of Timed Automata can be used to determine valid parameter ranges f
or timers in logic control programs. The procedure is illustrated by m
eans of a simple process engineering example for which the complete Ti
med Automata model is presented. To analyse the model, the tool HyTech
is used which provides routines to determine values of model paramete
rs depending on. reachability conditions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Lt
