“…Due to the possible varying network delays in the transit of messages over the network, these alternative SIFBs introduce delays in the data that are transmitted faster in order to guarantee that all replicas will receive all data messages in the exact same sequence. This, as explained in the previous paper [6], is known as the timed messages protocol [8]. Fault models that include errors in the communication networks require more costly (slower) communication protocols when compared to communication protocols that may be used when only faults in the execution devices are considered.…”

In a modern industrial environment control programs are distributed among several devices. This raises new challenges, especially in handling the failure modes. Automatic reconfiguration is a possible approach in dealing with partial failures. The authors have proposed an IEC 61499 based replication framework for building fault tolerant applicationsthus a failure of one sub-component does not to jeopardize the execution of the whole application. The proposed framework is capable of supporting dynamic reconfiguration on all automation levels in an industrial cell in order to patronage a fault tolerant and seamless production line.

“…For a complete survey, an interested reader can see (Zhang et al, 2004) for TTP; (Chan et al, 1997) and (Daoxu et al, 1998) for MTTP; (Franchino et al, 2007), and (Franchino et al, 2008a) for BuST. In the following, we compare the schemes performance under the token passing protocols considered in this chapter.…”

“…Among token passing protocols, the timed token policy is a channel scheduling approach first proposed by Grow in (Grow, 1982). Since then, it has received a substantial attention and several relevant results have been derived (Zhang et al, 2004), which make timed token protocols suitable for the real-time communication in industrial applications. Timed token policies are used as channel access mechanism in several standard protocols such as, for instance, PROFIBUS (Profibus, 1996) and FDDI (FDDI, 1987).…”

“…One of the most popular solutions is represented by the timedtoken protocol, which was proposed for the first time in the early 1980s by Grow [8]. Since then, a lot of research has been done on this protocol (see [15]). The interest on studying token passing protocols arises from some features that make them interesting for various applications.…”
