A Formal Design of Automation Systems Based on Operation Modes Using High-level Petri Net

Several Operation Modes (OMs) guidelines and the related design are currently proposed by academicians and related organizations in informal way. However, the informal design has no verification method to analyze the design. This paper proposes a formal OMs-based design for automation systems by providing the template design modeled by using Colored Petri Net. Several analysis properties are considered, i.e. model statistic, home marking, boundedness, and deadlock. The design also describes the execution behavior of the used mechatronic components.
