- An IEC 61499 Replication for Distributed Control ApplicationsPublication . Santos, Adriano A; Silva, A. Ferreira da; Sousa, Mário de; Magalhaes, PessoaModern industrial environment control programs are distributed among several devices. The IEC 61499 standard defines function blocks with which distributed control applications may be developed, and how these are interpreted and executed. Its functionality and the inherent support for dynamic reconfiguration provide the required infrastructure for Industry 4.0 and industrial IoT applications. However, by their distributed nature new challenges are posed, especially about how modes of failure are handled. To avoid system malfunctions and breakdowns due to partial failures, the authors propose a new framework were the concept of replication can be applied maintaining internal state synchronised. This paper presents an example of how the replication framework on the FORTE IEC 6499 execution platform can be developed and voting strategies, along with the results obtained in the implementation with the standard communication SIFBs available on the Eclipse 4diacTM.
- IEC 61499 REPLICATION FOR FAULT TOLERANT SYSTEMPublication . Santos, Adriano A.; Sousa, Mário de; Magalhães, Pessoa; Silva, António Ferreira daThe IEC 61499 was developed thinking about the new generation of distributed control and automation systems. This provides essential resources for the development of distributed systems such as encapsulation, portability and reconfiguration. In this sense, and to ensure confidence in the operation should be implemented fault tolerance techniques dealing with hardware failures and errors off software associated with us where the distributed application runs. In this paper, we propose an approach to deal with failures in distributed systems tolerance problems, based on a replication model based on replication software/hardware as a means to achieve confidence in the operation.
