Cyber-physical agnosticism (CPA) is a property of software in cyber-physical systems (CPS) to withstand various disturbances and keep maintaining the required behaviour of the physical process. With the increased research on the use of internet of things (IoT) in industrial automation (IoT-A), there is a need for robust distributed automation control systems that can take into account some overheads...
This paper addresses the problem of how to estimate performance of distributed IEC 61499 automation systems and optionally, how to improve end-to-end response times in general. In order to make the process of distributed automation system design and deployment more streamlined, a software tool which could reliably estimate end-to-end response times within a system offline would be very beneficial...
In some fields of industrial automation, such as nuclear power plant (NPP) industry in Finland, thorough verification of systems and demonstration of their safety are mandatory. Model checking is one of the techniques to achieve a high level of reliability. The goal of this paper is practical: we explore which type of model checking — either explicit-state or symbolic — is more suitable to verify...
In this paper a new modelling approach is presented to be used for formal-verification of block-diagram executable specifications of distributed industrial cyber-physical systems following the IEC 61499 standard. The approach allows usage of timers and arithmetic operations in the controller code. SMV model-checker is used as the target tool. The function block modelswith multiple communicating plant-controller...
Function Blocks provides a means to model and program industrial control systems. The recently acclaimed IEC 61499 standard allows such system models to be partitioned and executed in a distributed fashion. At device level, such models are traditionally implemented onto programmable logic controllers that underneath have an operating system and a software run-time environment which implies high resource...
