A Matlab based Petri net Tool for E-learning: Examples for timed simulation and scheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Petri nets are suitable for modelling of discrete-event systems with highly parallel and cooperating activities. In complex man-made systems, such as manufacturing systems, the systems’ specific properties, such as conflicts, deadlocks, limited buffer sizes, and finite resource constraints can be easily represented in the Petri net model. Therefore teaching of Petri net basics is an inevitable component of courses on modelling and simulation. The paper presents an object oriented Matlab m-script based Petri net tool, which is used to implement Petri net examples within MMT-server e-learning environment. The tool structure is described, and basic examples on timed Petri net simulation and simulation-based optimization of schedules are provided.

متن کاملA rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers
This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...
