Abstract

Since the Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) was introduced by Ramadge and Wonham in 1987, many researchers contributed to its theoretical basis and to the development of algorithms. In academia, several self-contained tools are used to model systems and analyze their behavior. Despite that, there are still too few application tools of SCT in industry. Therefore, we developed the MATLAB Supervisory Controlar Implementation toolbox (MSCI) for applying supervisory control theory, in order to have a first step in bridging the gap. It is based on MATLAB Simulink and Stateflow since MATLAB is a widespread and accepted environment in the industry. Results from a student practical lab prove that it is possible to teach SCT in a short time by using this toolbox.
