For Petri nets with inhibitor arcs, properties like reachability and boundedness are undecidable and hence constructing a coverability tree is not feasible. Here it is investigated to what extent the coverability tree construction might be adapted for Petri nets with inhibitor arcs. Emphasis is given to the (a priori) step sequence semantics which cannot always be simulated by firing sequences. All this leads to the notion of a step coverability tree which may be of use for the analysis of the step behaviour of certain subclasses of Petri nets with inhibitor arcs.
