In modern manufacturing systems, the current state of the system is not always obvious. In
many situations, such knowledge is needed to lead the system to a specific state such that a
determined task can be started or a maintenance task can be executed. Usually, to achieve
this, it is necessary to find and store a sequence from each state to the desired state or
implement an on-line algorithm to find the desired state. In this work we propose a two step
procedure to reconfigure a Discrete Event System, regardless its current state. First, the …
