Evolutionary approach to coverage testing of IEC 61499 function block applications
2015 IEEE 13th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN), 2015The paper addresses the problem of coverage testing of industrial automation software represented in the IEC 61499 standard, one of the recent standards for distributed control system design. Contrary to model-based testing (MBT), the paper focuses on implementation coverage, not model coverage. An approach based on evolutionary algorithms is presented

Adding Function Blocks of IEC 61499 Semantic Description to Automation Objects
2006 IEEE Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation, 2006Continuous market changes has leading to a new manufacturing paradigms where the common denominator is the rapid changeover of hardware components for the adjustment of production capacity and functionality. Hardware components for final solutions have been receiving more attention than software components for control. Function blocks from the standard

Implementation of full synchronous composition using IEC 61499 function blocks
IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, 2005., 2005One reason that the development of distributed control system is hard is that the communication primitives are at a low abstraction level. To put less burden on the developer it would be an advantage to have support for high-level communication primitives. One such primitive is the full synchronous composition (FSC) operator.

Implementation model alternatives for IEC 61499 Function Block networks
2008 6th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics, 2008The function block (FB) is proposed by IEC 61499 as the basic construct for the development of reusable, interoperable, distributed control applications. The FB design-level construct is clearly described by the standard so various prototype development environments have been developed during last years.

Ontology Model for Migration from IEC 61131-3 PLC to IEC 61499 Function Block
2011 Sixth IEEE International Symposium on Electronic Design, Test and Application, 2011Current IEC 61131-3 programmable logical controllers are facing challenges to provide reliable system as well as exceptional performance for complex distributed automation systems. The IEC 61499 standard is designed to cover interoperability not only on the runtime level, but also during the design process.

Code generator for IEC 61499 function block
2010The IEC 61499 function block is an open standard for distributed control and automation. However, work related to using IEC 61499 as code generator for various programming languages is still lacking. In this dissertation, a methodology for code generation based on XML (extensible Markup Language) and EBNF (Extended Backus-Naur Form) is discussed. Along

Formal syntax and semantics of basic function blocks in IEC 61499
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 2011The use IEC 61499 (International Electrotechnical Commission, IEC) as a modelling language for distributed industrial process measurement control systems lacks formal syntax and explicit semantics and can hardly ensure reliability and validity of systems.

Using the CIP Protocol with IEC 61499 Communication Function Blocks
2007 5th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics, 2007IEC61499 is introduced as a design tool for distributed automation systems. The CIP industrial communication protocol is then described. The paper goes on to describe why this protocol is an appropriate service for use with Communication Function Blocks and shows a framework for implementation using EtherNet/IP as the communication medium.

Design patterns for Failure Management in IEC 61499 Function Blocks.
2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010), 2010IEC 61499 standard has promised to help handling the high level of complexity of modern control systems, but it hasn't still been adopted by the industry. Several authors claim for design methodologies to guide control engineers using this standard.

IEC 61499 Function Blocks for Distributed Networked Embedded Applications
2006 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics, 2006This paper presents a case study on the use of the IEC 61499 reference component architecture in automotive electronics that is a traditional domain of embedded systems application. The proposed design approach allows for combination of distributed embedded control with off-line and on line simulation. The benefits of the approach are: the higher level
