In this paper, we propose a dynamic approach to programmable logic controller (PLC) reconfiguration that is based on the IEC 61499 standard for distributed, real-time control systems. With this form of reconfiguration control, contingencies are made for all possible changes that may occur. We illustrate this approach with a simple system configuration that uses Rockwell Automation's Function Block Development Kit (FBDK) for the software implementation and Dallas Semiconductor's Tiny InterNet Interface (TINI) for the hardware implementation.
