Abstract
The analysis of the discrete events systems and particularly of automatic transport systems with accumulation areas using the Petri nets starts from the remark that the refining of internal operations is extremely useful in the case of modeling such systems. The aim of this paper is to establish a generals Petri net model for a nod with “n” input and “m” outputs, based on basic elements of the automatic transport systems with accumulation areas. In this article, untimed Petri nets have been used for modeling, time being not a defining element for this modeling.
