Abstract

Simulink/Stateflow® is the de-facto tool for design of Cyber-physical Systems (CPS). CPS include hybrid systems, where a discrete controller guides a continuous plant. Hybrid systems are characterised by their continuous time dynamics with sudden discontinuities, caused by level/zero crossings. Stateflow can graphically capture hybrid phenomenon, making it popular with control engineers. However, Stateflow is unable to correctly and efficiently simulate complex hybrid systems, especially those characterised by even number of level crossings.
