The industrial and research activities around the IEC 61499 architecture for distributed automation systems are discussed by Vyatkin, (2011). Research results related to the design of this kind of systems as well as to the execution of IEC 61449 on embedded devices are reviewed. It is claimed that IEC 61499 has been developed to enable intelligent automation through the distribution of software components and that the industry will benefit through its adoption from the promise of the intelligence automation research results. In this paper, several observations are presented on the arguments that are used to prove that IEC 61499 is a solid technology for industrial automation systems development. Portability, interoperability, code modularity, reusability, and reconfigurability as well as determinism and the event-driven execution of IEC 61499 are discussed.

“…As an option, RTAI's "LXRT" allows the control of real-time tasks, using all of RTAI's hard real-time system calls, from within Linux memory-protected user space resulting in soft real-time combined with fine-grained task scheduling. RTAI is the real-time Linux that has the best integration with others open source tools scilab/scicos [10], [11]. This extension is widely used in control applications.…”

Embedded Linux became a dominant choice in the embedded entertainment and mobile systems. Their adoption in widely used control applications is the second phase of their embedded market domination. One of the most important criteria of the control RTOS is their determinism/overhead ratio. Actually, many extensions exist to bring real-time capability into the Linux kernel. On the other hand standard computer architecture become widely adopted in the embedded market, with a large variety of performances and power requirement.In this paper, we study the impact of timing enhancement offered by various real-time Linux kernel extensions and their impact into the overall system performance. The obtained results are compared with the standard and server kernels performances.We used for our study a multi-core Intel® based architecture since we considered the trend of the embedded control market for this kind of architectures.In our work we studied two metrics to reflect the performance of the studied kernel that are latency and throughput. Such work can be used to orient the adoption of real-time Linux extension for a given hardware architecture to reach control application requirements.

“…The first one is FBRT [6], it is implemented in Java and cannot meet real time constraints, but it is used as a reference platform for academic work on the standard. Another platform is presented in [7], it is implemented using RTAI and the work performs several performance tests. The 4DIAC initiative [8] has a platform implemented in portable C++ for PC and ARM7.…”

COSME: A distributed control platform for communicating machine tools in Agile Manufacturing Systems

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Distributed control for Agile Manufacturing Systems (AMSs) is an active research field. Many efforts are focused on the IEC 61499 standard, although there is still work to be done for its adoption by the industry. A part of this work is related to solve its semantic ambiguities derived from implementation-dependent issues. This paper presents the COSME platform, which uses an adapted component model, a specific execution model and a set of communication types for the distributed control of communicating machine tools in the context of Agile Manufacturing Systems. These models can be expressed in IEC 61499 terms. This adaptation facilitates application designing and implementation.
