Embedding Time Petri nets

Abstract

This paper presents a tool (PN2A) which embeds Time Petri Nets (TPN) to Arduino micro-controller architecture. PN2A imports TPN and generates Arduino sketches, which can be then compiled and uploaded to a micro-controller architecture. Some transitions (resp. places) of the transition set (resp. place set) can be assigned to pins of the micro-controller. Theses two types of transitions generates a new firing semantics combining weak and strong semantics. Embedded, the TPN becomes par- tially non-autonomous and can be defined as a microcontroller Synchronised Time Petri net (mSTPN).
