Abstract: This paper presents a design method for sequential control where the the control sequence is defined by a Petri net. Later on, each element of this net is augmented in order to determine the hardware necessary for the implementation of the respective part of the sequence. The practical application of the method is demonstrated using a control problem of indusrial robots.
