Sufficient conditions for diagnosability of DES modeled as Petri net are given in this paper. In proposed framework we refer to the concept of diagnosability given by Sampath et al. for finite state automata; as far as the fault events are concerned, they are modeled as unobservable transitions. The results here presented are based on the mathematical representation of PNs, and their complexity does not depend on the initial marking of the net. Hence the proposed approach does not suffer of the state space explosion problem, as the diagnoser approach does.
