Due to their convergence with state-of-the-art ICT technologies, the complexity and reliability demands of industrial automation systems have been rapidly increasing. In recent years, to cope with these demands, several research works have been carried out to adopt formal methods to the application development cycle at the early design stage. In this paper, we propose an automated code generation framework for industrial automation applications, based on a timed automata model. As a case study, we developed a formal model for a traffic light control system and verified the timing properties described in the specification. We finally demonstrated that the operation of a test-bed based on the auto-generated native code was identical to that of the model specification.
