Abstract
The paper presents the design and implementation of an innovative IntegratedDevelopment Environment, developed within the on-going European Research ProjectTORERO, to model and design reusable distributed control systems (DCS). This projectproposes an architecture which relies on a development environment based on the Eclipsetool and the emerging standard IEC 61499 and on a suitable control device where aportion of the distributed control application can be executed on a specially developedruntime environment.
