FIGURE 8.13 An ex<strong>amp</strong>le of rule TT.0. (a) [t3 p4 t4] is generated. The net deadlocks or is unbounded. (b) The<br />

addition of [t4 p5 t3] renders the net live and bounded.<br />

Workstation 2. After the three Type-2 parts finish machining, they are assembled (along with the two Type-<br />

1 parts loaded by Robot 2 from the buffer in Component I) on the same Workstation 2 by Robot 3. After<br />

the assembly task is completed, the final product is placed on Conveyor 3 by Robot 3.<br />

The interconnecting part between Components I and II models the loading process of two Type-1 parts<br />

by Robot 2 from the buffer to Workstation 2. To further understand the model, Table 8.4 lists the physical<br />

meaning of key transitions and places in Figure 8.14 where “WS” denotes a workstation, “R” a robot,<br />

and “C” a conveyor.<br />

This net contains multiple-weighted arcs and hence cannot be synthesized using the current rules. We<br />

will extend the rules by including the synchronization rule for TT-path generations among exclusive PSPs<br />

and the arc-ratio rule for handling GPNs.<br />

The Synchronization Rule<br />

Here, we develop new Rule TT.4 for exclusive TT generations. We first define the following terms for the<br />

description of the synchronization rule:<br />

p d<br />

Definition: A decision place is the common generation place of a set of exclusive PSPs.
