Special Session
The IEC 61499
Function Block Model in Control and Automation
The world’s 1st
Special Session on IEC61499
|
Special Session Structure in
brief Nine
papers were presented in two sessions: SS01A and SS01B and a poster session. The
ISaGRAF live demonstration that was scheduled in the context of this SS was
one of the most interesting events that attracted the interest of the most
ETFA participants. SS01A: The IEC 61499
Function Block Model in Control and Automation Wednesday Sept. 26 Seven
papers were presented in this session with title: |

Oliver
Hammer presented a methodology for the characterization of
an IEC 61499 runtime environment by use of a benchmarking procedure. He also
described the adaptability of the presented methodology on two different
runtime implementations. |
|
Seppo Sierla described two differently organized IEC 61499 courses for professionals and
researchers and the impact of the educational approach on a positive
experience for professionals with the goal to identify how a designer’s framework
needs to change before IEC 61499 can be applied successfully |
|

Mika Stromman presented an experiment that
has been performed independently with two development processes and toolsets
on the IEC61499 FB development process. Professionals and researchers worked
in teams during the experiment to automate a batch process. He presented the
results of this experiment that provided a good understanding of how
industrially established work practices and team organizations could be
applied when IEC 61499 development tools are used. |
|
Oliver
Hammer presented the definition of communication function
block for the CIP protocol which is a well established standard in industry
and described a pilot implementation demonstrating that the standard and the protocol
integrate well. |

Tanvir Hussain presented an
approach for the deployment of the software components of
the distributed application on the heterogeneous nodes that constitute the
execution environment. He also described
the problems that have to be addressed in the context of two different
execution semantics realized in certain implementations of the modeling
standard. |

|
Nils Hage presented an approach
for mapping CNet interfaces to function blocks and
vice-versa in order to integrate CNet models into function block networks. He
pointed
out the semantic comparability of FB and CNet interfaces that allows future
design tools to combine FBs with CNet components in function block networks
and offers the possibility to define the behavior of basic function blocks
using CNet and PNet. |
