Solution Based on IEC 61499 for Standardized Representation of Components in a Real-time Library of Reusable Algorithms for Process Control

This paper describes several solutions for a standardized, generic representation of the algorithms in a library of complex multi-functional process control algorithms. After presenting the library architecture, the paper describes the library design guide that will help the library administrators to manage the components that will be added to the library. Also we defined the performance criteria for algorithm representation and we presented a comparison of different standards based on these criteria so that we can find the best solution for the standardized representation of the components in the library. In the end we apply a transformation method from Simulink to the selected representation in two process examples. This method can be used for algorithm verification and validation purposes.
