Industrial automation is currently on the cusp to the application of distributed systems based
on distributed intelligence enabling distributed decision making within control. As one main …

This paper presents a preliminary report on verification of discrete control applications
defined by a new international standard draft IEC 1499. As a first step to verification, the …

The execution model in a new standard for distributed control systems, IEC 61499, is
analyzed. It is shown how the same standard compliant application running in two different …

The IEC61499 standard proposes the function block (FB) model for the next generation of
distributed control applications. This model defines the FB type to be the basic construct in …

The International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) has adopted the function block (FB)
concept to define the IEC 61499 standard for the development of the next generation …

The international standard IEC 61499 for the design of distributed industrial control systems
defines an abstract model of function blocks (FB) which allows many different semantic …

This paper aims at the development of an execution model of function block networks
following the IEC 61499 standard architecture for industrial measurement and control …

The IEC 61499 standard establishes a framework specifically designed for the
implementation of decentralized reconfigurable industrial automation systems. However, the …

The 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 …

The function block (FB) concept is proposed by evolving standards to address most of the
problems encountered in the development process of distributed industrial process …
