Abstract: The control model presented in this paper copes with the complexity of FMS modeling, which is due to their flexibility by a hierarchical and modular approach using object Petri nets (OPNs). These OPNs describe the dynamics of controlled production process and thus model the control code of the FMS.
Keywords: flexible manufacturing systems, hierarchical modeling, object Petri nets.
