Nov.10 fordiac tutorials

Idea is to create tutorials that help those who know IEC 61499 standard get started with fordiac.
The last 2 years hysteresis (FBDK IDE)  has been used with Masters level Elec.Eng. and touch on/off LED and flip-flop blinky with first semester Elec.Eng. (LMS with 4diac-IDE).


First idea was hysteresis problem for those who know IEC 61499. However a minor detail was forgotten, this lab always used FBDK in the past. To use create new FBs with fordiac and use FBDK HMI in /out FBs means even the first applications have to be distributed. So this has been abandoned for the moment.


Instead a tutorial which explains the existing application that comes with 4diac-ide was created:
Getting Started: Using TestSystem supplied   (link on fordiac dev wiki main page)


Flip-Flop tutorial to explain both fordiac and IEC 61499 application and FB development is in progress.

  • Flip-Flop Creating an application is ready to be tried.
  • Flip-Flop Application Structuring with Sub-Applications - has shown up some funnies / inconsistencies in the IDE. This needs to be tested with more current versions of the IDE
  • Flip-Flop Developing Function Blocks is in progress
