Abstract

This paper presents a solution for designing and executing IEC 61499 applications in a distributed web-based environment. This approach enables the separation of the input and output function blocks from the ones implementing the desired functionality that may require increased processing power. In this manner the functionality can be encapsulated in a generic, application independent structure and can be executed remotely using a web-based application described in this work. Standard communication interfaces are used for the information exchange of system modules and local devices. The system architecture, message format and details regarding the implementation are presented, as well as the results from evaluating the system functionality.
