Abstract

This paper provides a possibility to convert existing IEC 61131-3 projects into the newer IEC 61499 standard and therefore offers the use of its modern concepts also for the currently applied standard. Based on a model driven development approach as well as proper concepts and rules an implementation method for a transformation of IEC 61131-3 into IEC 61499 is presented. The transformation process is realized through an IEC 61131-3 and IEC 61499 compliant engineering environment. And an appropriate example model is provided by an IEC 61131-3 convenient development tool. After the transformation an available IEC 61499 development tool is used to check the transformation outcome.
