IEC 61499 implementation of a modular control model for manufacturing systems

The paper presents a modular control model to develop the control functions for manufacturing systems and its implementation using IEC 61499 function blocks. In particular, a new control module for automation objects is formally specified and its use on a hierarchical functional architecture has been discussed and the possible distribution of its IEC 61499 implementation is investigated. Finally, an application of such a model and its implementation for the development of the control functions for a laboratory plant emulating a general manufacturing system is shown
