The complexity of automated production systems increases constantly due to growing functional requirements and engineering discipline integration. Early design steps include the cross-discipline specifi- cation of the system's technical process, while later steps have to ensure compatibility with the specification. Current specification techniques are able to describe and analyze certain properties on the specification level, however verification of the implementation with respect to the specifi- cation is a costly task. To overcome this situation we propose a formal modeling technique, which enables automatic verification of the implementation. We demonstrate the approach on a lab-sized automated production system and finally discuss its advantages and disadvantages.     «
