            Abstract : 
This paper aims at the systematic determination of faulty and problematic execution control charts (ECC) of IEC 61499 basic function blocks. The liveliness of a function block and the potential state transitions fundamentally depend on the execution semantics of function blocks. Many work has been performed in order to clarify the execution semantics, mainly by reducing the diversity of implementation alternatives.
