Automation software evolution sees key advances
The ICS Triplex ISaGRAF team has been developing some key enhancements to the popular ISaGRAF 5, the world's first commercially available IEC 61499 automation software
The IEC61499 standard defines the method for designing and implementing robust and efficient cooperating systems, and presents guidelines for the use of function blocks in distributed industrial process, measurement and control systems.
It provides a number of significant benefits to distributed applications including: the regulation of the flow of control decisions for an interacting distributed control system; providing for the consistency of data; providing a means to ensure synchronous operation between devices; eliminating the need to have separate synchronisation schemes; and easing the development and maintenance of robust control systems.
IEC61499 also can encapsulate automation functionality such that machine builders can create IEC61499 function blocks for different components of the machine and need only assemble them to achieve the desired operation.
It provides the benefits of object-oriented programming in an environment familiar and accessible to automation engineers.
ISaGRAF 5 incorporates both the IEC61499 and IEC61131-3 standards.
ISaGRAF 5 has already received confirmation of IEC61131-3 compliance from TUV Rheinland.
