Starting with the specification of each resource and the whole structu
re of a flexible production system, in this approach a special kind of
coloured Pt tri nets is used for performing the modelling and the val
idation of the coordination control structure of the systems. in a sec
ond phase, it is proposed to modify the first models to synchronised!
Petri net schemas to facilitate the supervision and the interaction of
the coordination model with the physical components of the system as
well as the development and maintainability of the discrete-event cont
rol structures. The final result is a formal specification of coloured
Petri net based coordination control of resources of the system, and
logic control structures for control sequencing based on the use of sy
nchronised subPetri net structures derived from the first one by refin
ing transitions, i.e., their occurrence. Based on the proposed approac
h, the coordination control model of resources and a first skeleton of
the logic control structures of a flexible assembly cell located at t
he institute of Manufacturing Automation and Production Systems at the
University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany is elaborated and then the
correctness of the obtained models with regard to material flow and co
ntrol sequence specifications is validated by means of the structural
analysis of the coloured Petri net-based models.
