1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Sampled-data controller implementation" ?
The setting of this paper is the implementation of timed discrete-event systems ( TDES ) as sampled-data ( SD ) controllers.. In this paper, the authors establish a formal representation of an SD controller as a Moore synchronous finite state machine ( FSM ).. The authors describe how to translate a TDES supervisor to a FSM, as well as necessary properties to be able to do so.. The authors discuss how to construct a single centralized controller as well as a set of modular controllers, and show that they will produce equivalent output.. The authors also discuss a flexible manufacturing system ( FMS ) example and present some FSM translation issues encountered, as well as the FSM version of some of the system ’ s supervisors.

2. What is the way to translate a TDES supervisor into an SD controller?
To be able to translate a TDES supervisor into an SD controller, the authors only require that it be CS deterministic to ensure that the resulting FSM will be deterministic.

3. What is the deterministic property of the TDES supervisor?
Let G = (Y,Σ, δ, yo, Ym) be the TDES plant to be controlled and let S = (X,ΣS, ξ, xo,Xm) be a CS deterministic TDES supervisor for G. Let C = (I, Z,Q,Ω,Φ,qres) be the SD controller for S.

4. What does z mean when an event is enabled?
When an element is set to 1, this means that corresponding event is enabled and that the controller should make the event occur before the next clock tick, where 0 means it is disabled.
