Abstract

Supervisory control of distributed DES with a global specification and local supervisors is a difficult problem. For global specifications, the equivalent conditions for local control synthesis to equal global control synthesis may not be met. This paper formulates and solves a control synthesis problem for a generator with a global specification and with a combination of a coordinator and local controllers. Conditional controllability is proven to be an equivalent condition for the existence of such a coordinated controller. A procedure to compute the least restrictive solution within our coordination control architecture is provided and conditions under which the result coincides with the supremal controllable sublanguage are stated.
