DIN EN 61804-2:2007 Function blocks (FB) for process control - Part 2: Specification of FB concept (IEC 61804-2:2006); German version EN 61804-2:2007, text in English
This part of IEC 61804 is applicable to Function Blocks (FB) for process control
This standard specifies FB by using the result of harmonization work as regards several elements:
a) the device model which defines the components of an IEC 61804-2 conformant device;
b) conceptual specifications of FBs for measurement, actuation and processing. This includes
general rules for the essential features to support control, whilst avoiding details which stop
innovation as well as specialization for different industrial sectors.
This standard defines a subset of the requirements of IEC 61804-1 (hereafter referred to as Part 1)
only, while Part 1 describes requirements for a distributed system.
The conformance statement in Annex B, which covers the conformance declaration, is related to this
standard only. Requirements of Part 1 are not part of these conformance declarations.
The standardization work for FB was carried out by harmonizing the description of concepts of
existing technologies. It results in an abstract level that allowed the definition of the common
features in a unique way. This abstract vision is called here the conceptual FB specification and
mapped to specific communication systems and their accompanying definitions by the industrial
groups. This standard is also based on the abstract definitions of IEC 61499-1.
NOTE This standard can be mapped to ISO 15745-1.
There are solutions on the market today, which fulfil the requirements of this standard and show how
the conceptual specification is implemented in a given technology. New technologies will need to
find equivalent solutions (see Figure 4).
