The GRAFCET standard (IEC 60848) is one of the convenient formalisms used to specify the behaviour of the automated systems. Being just a semi-formal language, the usual practice is to go through an unambiguous formalism such as time Petri net (TPN) in order to validate a specification expressed by a GRAFCET model. In this paper, we propose how to perform model-checking on a GRAFCET model translated into a ε-TPN, specifically with State-Event Linear Temporal Logic (SE-LTL). Especially, we provide a way to take into account quantitative time constraints verification by integrating observers in the ε-TPN intermediate model, since TPN state-space abstractions do not allow directly such kind of model-checking.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
