Developing cyber-physical production systems for batch control under IEC-61499 and ISA-88

Abstract

A cyber-physical system integrates capacities such as computing, storing and communication along with
others in the physical world such as objects tracking and/or objects controlling. According to the IIoT concepts
it is possible to infer that CPPS systems are normally connected to each other, and also connected to the
virtual world of global digital networks. It is here where, introducing the IEC-61499 standard, will allow the
CPPS to implement distributed, flexible and reconfigurable controllers. In the industrial context, the ISA-88
regulation offers a coherent set of standards and terminology for batch control and defines models: physical
model, controlling model etc., for this kind of industries. That is why it is necessary to provide the industry
with low-cost alternatives which could redirect the CPPS development to a new variety of devices. This paper
proposes the development of the FBs networks needed in the integration of distributed control systems with
the use of two embedded hardware like: BeagleBone Black and Raspberry PI; having the models presented in
the ISA-88 standard as the base for developing the control algorithms encapsulated inside the FBs of control.
