In this paper, we study the relationship between observability and normality arising in supervisory control of discrete event systems under partial observation. We prove that observability together with a condition on unobservable events is equivalent to normality in the presence of controllability. This result means that a supervisor synthesized for the supremal controllable and normal sublanguage of a specification language is a maximally permissive one under a restriction that no unobservable event is disabled.
