About the Book

New technologies and standards are emerging which will have a dramatic effect on the design and implementation of future industrial control systems. PLCs and PC-based soft controllers are beginning to use software components, for example function blocks, to business systems. New tools and techniques are needed to design and model these systems, such as UML and modern fieldbus technology. The IEC 61499 standard has been developed specifically to model distributed control systems. Practical tools based on IEC 61499 are likely to emerge soon to model, validate and simulate the behaviour of complex networks of function blocks and it is expected that this standard will become key to highly-developed distributed systems. Modelling control systems using IEC 61499 provides a concise yet thorough introduction to the main concepts and models defined in the IEC 61499 standard, and particularly the use of function blocks. Incorporating industrially relevant examples to show how these can be applied, the book is ideal as a user-guide for the application of the standard for modelling distributed systems. The book will be of particular relevance to those working in industrial control, software engineering, mechatronics and manufacturing systems.

Table of Contents:
Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: IEC 61499 models and concepts Chapter 3: Defining function block and subapplication types Chapter 4: Service Interface function blocks Chapter 5: Event function blocks Chapter 6: Industrial application examples Chapter 7: Future development Appendices

About the Author :
Robert Lewis is the UK expert on two IEC working groups defining new standards for industrial control software, covering distributed control systems (IEC 61499) and PLCs (IEC 61131). One of his particular fields of interest is the application of graphical programming techniques to improve the quality and understanding of industrial control software. He has been involved in the development of software for industrial control applications for over 15 years and recently has been working in the field of design and verification of safety critical systems. He is also the author of Programming industrial control systems IEC 1131-3 (IEE, revised edition, 1998). Robert Lewis holds a degree in Electrical Engineering and a MSc in Computer Science. He is a Fellow of the IEE and is currently Senior Consultant with Fluor Global Services.

Review :
'In the book, the use of the technique is illustrated in two fairly simple industrial applications. Their simplicity should not obscure the potential value of this injection of the latest developments in computer software writing into control engineering, and the value of this little book in delineating it.' Robotica
