A Deadlock-Free Supervisory Control Method for Flexible Manufacturing Cell
Xiao Tian-yuan · Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems · 2001
A design method of deadlock-free supervisory controller is presented for a sequential production flexible manufacturing cell without intermediate buffer. This method is based on the finite state machine model and developed by using the supervisory control theory for discrete event systems. Feasibility of the method in this paper is verified and a sample is presented to illustrate the application of this method.
