Abstract :
The authors propose the Mark Flow Graph (MFG) for theoretical systematization of sequential control. The MFG is derived from the Petri net and is suitable for designing and analyzing sequential control systems. We apply the MFG to practical examples. We explain how to use the MFG in hierarchical programming of the systems and show its effectiveness. The MFG can be easily translated to the SFC for programming PCs
