Automatic Deployment of IEC 61499 Function Blocks onto Interconnected Devices

摘要

Manually deploying IEC 61499 function blocks onto distributed devices can be a time consuming and error prone task for large systems. In this paper we present an approach to automatically compute a feasible deployment. To do this, we add new attributes and restrictions to the IEC system. Based on this information, an automated constraint solver is able to find feasible deployments, which satisfy the given system requirements like end-to-end deadlines. By generating additional routing functionality, this approach can also speed up the development process enormously.
