Abstract :
The international standard IEC 61499 defines an event-driven, distributed application based on function blocks. Such a block represents a kind of object with an internal behaviour. The blocks interact via input and output variables with other blocks or with their environment. This article describes an approach for the transformation of the sequential function chart (SFC) to IEC 61499 function blocks. The IEC 61499 function blocks are executed on a runtime, based on a distributed, object-oriented automation system, using objects interacting via the port concept.
