Fault injection for IEC 61499 applications

2016 IEEE 21st International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2016
Distributed control systems relying on IEC 61499 are a common engineering approach for various application domains ranging from industrial control to the management and control of modern buildings. In this paper we propose a generic fault-injection concept to support the verification of applications.

Extension of reconfigurability provisions in IEC 61499

2013 IEEE 18th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA), 2013
This paper presents an investigation into the implementation of reconfigurable industrial applications using the IEC 61499 standard. An architecture and design methodology is proposed to allow for the addition of reconfigurable elements to existing IEC 61499 applications. The commercially available NxtForte IEC 61499 platform was chosen for experiments.

The Past, Present, and Future of IEC 61499

2007
In 1991, Technical Committee 65 (TC65) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) approved a New Work Item (NWI) for the development of an international standard for the use of software objects known as Function Blocks (FBs) in distributed Industrial-Process Measurement and Control Systems (dIPMCS).

Is IEC 61499 in harmony with IEC 61131-3?

IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, 2009
This year marks the 16th anniversary of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 1131-3 (now IEC 61131-3), currently one of the most important standards in industrial automation. Four years before its release, it has been decided that it will define a further standard for programming industrial control systems, the IEC 61499 standard.

Framework for management of replicated IEC 61499 applications

2008 IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation, 2008
The IEC 61499 standard defines function blocks with which distributed control applications may be developed, and how these are interpreted and executed. With the distributed nature of the control application, many issues also need to be taken into account.

IEC 61499 and the Promise of Holonic Systems

2019
This paper provides a review of the IEC 61499 standard for industrial automation from the perspective of holonic manufacturing systems. This standard played a central role since the beginnings of the Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) movement, and by many, was considered the enabling approach to realize holonic systems.

A Schedulability Analysis of an IEC-61499 Control Application

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2005
This paper deals with the temporal correctness of control applications designed using the component-based standard IEC 61499. In this standard, a function block is defined as an event trigger component containing its own data. To validate the temporal behavior of an application, we have to take into account its scheduling on the execution support.

Synthesizing IEC 61499 Function Blocks to hardware

2019 International Conference on Electronics, Information, and Communication (ICEIC), 2019
IEC 61499 Function Blocks is the emerging standard for distributed control of industrial automation systems. Within this domain, it is common for devices to need robust timing and functional guarantees. Unfortunately, many industry-standard approaches can only provide analysis for functional correctness.

Developing a monitoring infrastructure for IEC 61499 devices

2013 IEEE 18th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA), 2013
In order to cope with the upcoming demands for flexible adaptive production system a new architecture for industrial automation systems has been introduced called IEC 61499. Up to now no monitoring and debugging infrastructure has been defined for IEC 61499 although, this is a key feature for industrial automation systems as break downs and unexpected ...
