For the development of modern complex production processes in Industry 4.0, it is appropriate to effectively use advanced mathematical models based on Petri nets. Due to their versatility in modeling discrete-event systems, Petri nets are an important support in creating new platforms for digitized production systems. The main aim of the proposed article is to design a new software tool for modeling and control of discrete-event and hybrid systems using Arduino and similar microcontrollers. To accomplish these tasks, a new tool called PN2ARDUINO based on Petri nets is proposed able to communicate with the microcontroller. Communication with the microcontroller is based on the modified Firmata protocol hence, the control algorithm can be implemented on all microcontrollers that support this type of protocol. The developed software tool was successfully verified in control of laboratory systems. In addition, it can be used for education and research purposes as it offers a graphical environment for designing control algorithms for hybrid and mainly discrete-event systems. The proposed software tool can improve education and practice in cyber-physical systems (Industry 4.0).

The Coordinator

The methods of modeling and control of discrete event robotic manufacturing cells using Petri nets are considered, and a methodology of decomposition and coordination is presented for hierarchical and distributed control. Based on task specification, a conceptual Petri net model is transformed into the detailed Petri net model, and then decomposed into constituent local Petri net based controller tasks. The local controllers are coordinated by the coordinator through communication between the coordinator and the controllers. Simulation and implementation of the control system for a robotic workcell are described. By the proposed method, modeling, simulation, and control of large and complex manufacturing systems can be performed consistently using Petri nets.

Interpreted Petri Nets (IPN) allow the analysis of Discrete Event Systems (DES) to guarantee the detection of failures in a fast, efficient, and safe way. The objective of this research is the design of an Interpreted Petri Net for the detection of failures in a water supply system. The IPN allows us to identify two types of failures, permanent failures and control failures. The first are inherent to the system and are those that make impossible the functionality of the system. The second refers to those that are inherent to the user and are those failures that do not meet the given specifications. Detecting failures in a system allows the improvement of the operation in such a way that it is more efficient. In this manner, it is possible to design reliable systems which can work properly. In this research, an algorithm was designed for the sensors involved in the system using Interpreted Petri Nets. The detection of failures as main objective is achieved through the implementation of a previously designed IPN. By implementing a programming code in MATLAB®, it was possible to observe its simulated behavior in the system. The input parameters used assume a behavior. Objective: Analyze and implement a mathematical model to automatically detect failures in a system, based on a polynomial algorithm according to the methodology proposed in Matlab®. Methodology: Algorithms were used to characterize the area of influence of the failure in the IPN of the system, from which the implementation in Matlab® showed minimal T-semiflows that do not share any transition with the structure where the failure is located. Therefore, if the problem of linear programming has a solution then the system will be not diagnosable. In this case, if the system is modeled by parts, it is possible to find those parts that are diagnosable and therefore implement the methodology, in this way a module model will be obtained in which the failure detection can be performed. Contribution: Characterization of the diagnosticability property and use of algorithms in MATLAB® to analyze the property of systems designed by IPN. Identify failure occurrence modeled in a system using IPN in MATLAB® for failure monitoring.
