The analysis and proper documentation of the properties of closed-loop control software presents many distinct aspects from the analysis of the same software running open-loop. Issues of physical system representations arise, and it is desired that such representations remain independent from the representations of the control program. For that purpose, a concurrent program representation of the plant and the control processes is proposed, although the closed-loop system is sufficiently serialized to enable a sequential analysis. While dealing with closed-loop system properties, it is also shown by means of examples how special treatment of nonlinearities extends from the analysis of control specifications to code analysis.
