In the domain of Automated Manufacturing Systems (AMS), Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) is a general modelbased framework, which contributes to the automated development of control systems. Although, SCT delivers important theoretical insights to deal with controllers design, its use in the industry is still weak, because of the discrepancy among its abstract controllers and their physical implementation. Whithin this context, this paper presents a practical method to automatically produce distributed supervisory control of AMS in the form of Grafcet, which is a graphical modelling tool widely used to specify controllers dynamic behaviors. This method is built to evaluate an authors’ previous distributed approach to control synthesis and implementation. It is based on Modelto-Model (M2M) transformations implemented in a java/EMF environment. An experimental AMS illustrates its purposes.
