Verifying Untimed and Timed Aspects of the Experimental Batch Plant

https://doi.org/10.3166/ejc.7.400-415Get rights and content

We thoroughly examine the experimental batch plant in its two major operation modes: a normal operation mode and a failure operation mode. In order to do so, we use discrete condition/event system as well as timed automata for the specification and the model checking tools SMV, Kronos and HyTech for verification.

      In this section, a benchmark example is used to illustrate the application of our approach. This plant is a modified version of the benchmark example for an evaporator system, presented by Kowalewski, Stursberg, and Bauer (2001) and Huuck, Lukoschus, and Lakhnech (2001). The plant (Fig. 5) consists of two tanks (tank 1 is heated and mixed), a condenser, level sensors and on–off valves (Vi).
