Distributed Control Applications: Guidelines, Design Patterns, and Application Examples with the IEC 61499

a book by Alois Zoitl, Thomas Strasser

Edited by CRC Press - 2017

Abstract

This book discusses the IEC 61499 reference architecture for distributed and reconfigurable control and its adoption by industry. The book provides design patterns, application guidelines, and rules for designing distributed control applications based on the IEC 61499 reference model. Moreover, examples from various industrial domains and laboratory environments are introduced and explored.

Features:

• Offers a global overview of IEC 61499 application domains
• Aids in implementing current automation solutions
• Presents IEC 61499-compliant design guidelines and patterns for applications and software libraries
• Contains chapters authored by subject-matter experts from Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Finland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, China, Canada, New Zealand, and the US
• Includes distributed control examples from different industrial fields and laboratories
