Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to give readers a practical view of how IEC 61499 systems are designed. For this purpose, this chapter illustrates a set of examples that not only cover the pedagogic aspects, but are also close to implementation of realistic systems. All of the case studies presented in this chapter are freely available for download along with the companion software, named BlokIDE. BlokIDE is an integrated development environment that provides a file-based project environment integrated with model editors, the synchronous compiler (introduced in Chap. 5), and a visual debugger. Together, these components enable advanced features like automatic code generation, simulation, and device deployment. The academic version of BlokIDE is available as a free download from www.timeme.io.
