Intelligent Component Based  Batch Control Using IEC61499 and ANSI/ISA S88.
Proceedings of the  2008 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Varna,  Bulgaria, Vol. 1, pp. 4.44-4.49, Sept. 2008.
Abstract:
 This paper proposes an intelligent component based approach for batch  control based on ANSI/ISA S88 standard. Common intelligent software  components have been built and reused for different application. The  components are managed in a control recipe that describes their  execution schedule. Furthermore, IEC 61499 standard is adopted as an  application framework in which the functional components are implemented  as IEC 61499 based function blocks (FB). The operation schedule of the  controlled components is then implemented according IEC 61499, based on  Scheduler-Selector-Synchronizer (S³) architecture and SIPN models  describing the sequence of control execution. An example of the proposed  approach based on the real plant for Distillation of Sulphate  Turpentine located in Velingrad, Bulgaria is presented and discussed.
