Abstract

Solid-state microprocessors with software controlled sensors and actuators have essentially replaced analog control systems. Design systems with extensive libraries and code generators such as the ETAS® ASCET and MATLAB®/Simulink are widely used in industry to design control systems. However. the software engineering methods to help get the design right are missing. Sequence-based specification is a rigorous method that is well suited to the design of embedded control systems. This paper focuses on the adaptation of sequence-based specification to Simulink blocks, feedback control, and state machine generation, while preserving the ability to convert ordinary requirements to precise state-machine specifications.
