FBench Project is ongoingdevelopment of anopen-source graphical software
tool for embedded automation components and systems based on
the IEC61499
standard. The project originates in
the OOONEIDA
Workbench pioneered by 'the function block Guru' Dr.
James Christensen in 2005.
You can download and start
familiarizing yourself with the current code base.
Use of this software is under the provisions of
Common Public License (CPL). Soon we will establish web repository for common
development.
Some facts about
FBench:
- FBench uses XSL Tables to convert function blocks to Java
classes
- The generated code model is compatible with FBRT
- FBench is a stand-alone tool but allows easy adding new
features via plug-ins
- The Project environment simplifies porting of function block
