4diac: Open Source Framework for Distributed Industrial Process Automation

A free and open source framework for industrial process automation, enabling real-time control across multiple devices

What is 4diac?

4diac is an open-source framework aimed at distributed industrial process automation and control. It provides a standardized infrastructure to design and implement distributed control applications that can run on multiple devices in real-time.

Some key features of 4diac include:

• Supports IEC 61499 standard for distributed industrial control systems
• Allows creating distributed applications spread over multiple devices like PLCs, embedded devices, etc.
• Provides deterministic real-time execution of control logic
• Comes with development tools like editors, debuggers, monitoring tools
• Enables hardware-independent application development
• Implemented in C++, runs on Linux and Windows
• LGPL open source license

4diac makes it easy to build distributed real-time automation and control systems like those used in factories, processing plants, etc. Its adherence to open standards, deterministic real-time performance and open source license make it appealing for industrial control use cases.
