"The other side of Automation", by Nicholas Sand: "The dull title, IEC 61499 Function Blocks for Embedded and Distributed Control Systems Design, provides some warning that this book is not an exciting read, but it masks the creativity and vision of Vyatkin and the O3NEIDA group." "Software for the Mind", by Jeremy Pollard (in Manufacturing Automation & Advanced Manufacturing): "When Vyatkin diverts into system design and methodologies used, the academia comes out in his writing. While I am sure he didn’t intend it, his vision and opinion on the future of our industry is refreshing. Vyatkin does a really good job describing a typical automation sequence and how a normal PLC control system would handle the process, and then breaks it down into a next generation control system requirements. He introduces the concept of portability (of function blocks). This should pique your interest! A good mix of academia, practicality, opinion and history provides for a quick read." In PAC World (2010, vol.6), by Alex Apostolov: "Dr. Vyatkin's book provides a specific guideline on how to specify and implement a distributed system according to the IEC 61499 standard. This makes it valuable for the protection, automation and control engineer that is interested in the development, implementation and testing of distributed IEC 61850 systems. It helps us better understand the concepts of the standard and the steps that need to be followed for its use. It should be discussed in detail within our industry in order to decide which parts of IEC 61499 can be used within the electric power systems domain" License note: All materials located at this site are under copyright of V.
