Modelling Control Systems Using IEC 61499 by Robert Lewis

New technologies and standards are emerging which will have a dramatic effect on the design and implementation of future industrial control systems. This book provides a concise yet thorough introduction to the main concepts and models defined in the IEC 61499 standard and particularly the use of function blocks.

'In the book, the use of the technique is illustrated in two fairly simple industrial applicationsTheir simplicity should not obscure the potential value of this injection of the latest developments in computer software writing into control engineering, and the value of this little book in delineating it.'

Robert Lewis is the UK expert on two IEC working groups defining new standards for industrial control software, covering distributed control systems (IEC 61499) and PLCs (IEC 61131). One of his particular fields of interest is the application of graphical programming techniques to improve the quality and understanding of industrial control software. He has been involved in the development of software for industrial control applications for over 15 years and recently has been working in the field of design and verification of safety critical systems. He is also the author of Programming industrial control systems IEC 1131-3 (IEE, revised edition, 1998). Robert Lewis holds a degree in Electrical Engineering and a MSc in Computer Science. He is a Fellow of the IEE and is currently Senior Consultant with Fluor Global Services.
