(ICARU-FB), a multiplatform environment capable of running the function blocks defined in
IEC 61499 on architectures with few computational resources. A virtual machine was
designed and implemented to perform networks of function blocks on 8-bit platforms with
minimal resources. It was also reported to run on a 64-bit computer. Two case studies were
performed in order to verify compliance with IEC 61499. Through the case studies, it was …
