It handles the reaction to electrical defects on the high voltage lines. The purpose of this study is to construct a discrete event control system based on digital technology. To this end, we use the synchronous approach to reactive real-time systems, and in particular the data flow language Signal, and its tools for specification, formal verification, simulation, and implementation. The hierarchical, state-based and preemptive controller is implemented with Signal and its extension for preemptive tasks Signalgti.
