Reusability of control codes is one of the basic angles in mechanical robotization, especially for the advancement of high dependable control frameworks. In this paper, we examine a general structure and usage of IEC 61499 standard that can be utilized to speak to conveyed control frameworks and rebuilding the control programs. This paper likewise expects to change the current IEC 61131 based model of computerization framework into the models that pursues IEC 61499 standard. We utilize a bore test system as precedent by mimicking the model utilizing Function Block Development Kit (FBDK) in light of IEC 61499. Accordingly, a piece of the control codes can be used for reusable reason to accomplish framework control objective.

Abstract. Airport Baggage Handling is a field of automation systems that is currently dependent on centralised control systems and conventional automation programming techniques. In this and other areas of manufacturing and materials handling, these legacy automation technologies are increasingly limiting for the growing demand for systems that are reconfigurable, fault tolerant and easy to maintain. IEC 61499 Function Blocks is an emerging architectural framework for the design of distributed industrial automation systems and their reusable components. A number of architectures have been suggested for multi-agent and holonic control systems that incorporate function blocks. This paper presents a multiagent control approach for a baggage handling system using IEC 61499 Function Blocks. In particular, it focuses on demonstrating a decentralised control system that is scalable, reconfigurable and fault tolerant. The design follows the Automation Object approach, and produces a function block component representing a single section of conveyor. In accordance with holonic principles this component is autonomous and collaborative, such that the structure and the behaviour of a baggage handling system can be entirely defined by the interconnection of these components within the function block design environment. Simulation is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the agent-based control system and a utility is presented for real-time viewing of these systems. Tests on a physical conveyor test system demonstrated deployment to embedded control hardware.

“…However, these studies also revealed many pitfalls of the first edition, which are primarily due to the non-exhaustive definition of FB's execution semantics. This, on one hand, gives software vendors sufficient freedom to adapt the IEC 61499 standard into their existing tool frameworks, such as ISaGRAF Workbench [12]. However, on the other hand, different IEC 61499 implementations may not be compatible to one another.…”

Abstract-The second edition of the IEC 61499 standard aims to clarify the interpretation ambiguities of function block's execution semantics. This resolves the pivotal issue of realizing portable and interoperable implementations of the IEC 61499 reference architecture. As the IEC 61499 standard is about entering its technology takeoff phase, these clarifications are timely and important. It is hence expected that more innovators of automation software tools, runtime environments, and control hardware will start adopting this technology. To assist such adoption, this paper presents a study of existing IEC 61499 tools' portability issues. In particular, the features of currently active IEC 61499 tools, such as FBDK, ISaGRAF, 4DIAC, and nxtStudio are outlined. Their incompatibility issues due to different execution semantics are exemplified. Moreover, it is also illustrated in this paper how these issues can be addressed by complying with the updated norms.
