Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>This paper deals with the problem of forbidden states in safe Petri nets to obtain a maximally permissive controller. To prevent the system from entering the forbidden states, assigning some constraints to them is possible. The constraints can be enforced on the system using control places. When the number of forbidden states is large, a large number of constraints should be assigned to them. This results in a large number of control places being added to the model of the system, which causes a complicated model. Some methods have been proposed to reduce the number of constraints. Nevertheless, they do not always give the best results. In this paper, two ideas are offered to reduce the number of constraints, giving a more simplified controller.</p> </abstract>
