Dear 4Diac-cers,

I am new to IEC 61499 environment, I have implemented a few academic projects in FBDK IDE.

I have a Beckhoff PLC and a mini paper pulp processing plant, for which I am planning to create a forte RTE, on which my designated Control App which (will be) made in Eclipse 4Diac IDE run. I will be using OPC-UA as a communication protocol between them.

The first Stage of the project will be to implement, the Process simulation using 4DIAC RTE on OPC-UA and than, the PLC for Pulp paper process plant. The simulator has been already implemented in Node JS.

Just before getting started, I want to ask a few questions.
• Suggest me, how I can go about creating a forte Runtime Environment for a PLC, which has its own Function Blocks?
• Can the generic Function blocks provided by 4Diac be used to program a proprietary PLC, and can one setup a RTE for the same or I can download a certain library for my task?

I will keep on posting my progress and ambiguities during the course of the project duration.

Thank you in advance.

Br,
Ahsan
