The 4DIAC framework provides two projects and allows the development of distributed control systems compliant to the IEC 61499 standard:
- 4DIAC-RTE (FORTE): The Runtime Environment is a small portable C++ implementation of an IEC 61499 runtime environment which supports the execution of distributed control programs on small embedded devices.
- 4DIAC-IDE: The Integrated Development Environment is based on the Eclipse framework and provides an extensible engineering environment for modeling distributed control applications compliant to the IEC 61499 standard and downloadable to FORTE powered control devices.
- Frequently Asked Questions are listed under 4DIAC FAQs.
