Chapter 1 provides a quick introduction to the concept of function blocks using an intuitive example and describing basic concepts of IEC61499 in a nutshell.
Chapter 2 discusses how this system could have been implemented with different generations of automation technologies and situates function blocks in an historic perspective of industrial automation.
Chapter 3 describes the challenges of modern manufacturing systems requirements for automation systems development.
Chapter 4 presents new technical opportunities provided by the adoption of IEC 61499 in the context of emerging intelligent automation systems.
Chapter 5 introduces the fundamentals of the new function block concept and use of a software toolset titled "Function Block Development Kit, or (FBDK)".
Chapter 6 provides a crash course in the FBDK software toolset.
Chapters 7-8 introduce the concepts of basic and composite function blocks, and Chapter 9 shows how to build applications from them.
Chapter 10 discusses another cornerstone concept of distributed automation systems – a model of the device. After learning this material the reader will be ready for an integral picture of an automation system that is a distributed system configuration model introduced in Chapter 11.
In Chapter 12 the service interface function blocks are introduced. Example of complete design of an input reading block is given.
Chapter 13 provides an example of a complete distributed control design for a simple mechatronic system.
Chapter 14 provides a brief introduction to the development of human-machine interface elements using function blocks.
Chapters 15 and 16 provide an introduction to the development methodologies of automation systems.
Chapter 16 discusses new concept of Automation Object that is a meta model, combining control and other functions with all sorts of relevant data and knowledge components.
Chapter 17 shows how the adoption of IEC 61499 can change the business models of companies involved in the industrial automation business.
