Abstract
We describe the application of SDL, a method for the construction of reactive systems, to an example of the field of production control. The control program for a production cell system is constructed, fulfilling safety constraints imposed on the system.
The effectiveness of standard validation techniques for SDL for guaranteeing the safety properties is investigated. It turns out that usual techniques like interactive and automatic simulation are helpful, but not sufficient for safety-critical systems. Possible alternatives are discussed.
