Abstract

The 4th Industrial Revolution has driven innovations in integrating Information Technologies (IT) with Operations Technologies (OT). This integration is essential for developing Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS), which enhance distributed automation and optimize industrial production processes. The IEC 61499 standard facilitates this integration through its modularity, reusability, and interoperability, making it crucial for distributed control and system automation. Despite its advantages, IEC 61499’s application is predominantly at the Edge layer, limiting its functionality in higher layers such as the Cloud. To address this gap, Cloud-based Service-Oriented Architectures (SoA) have emerged as a key study area, offering modular, reusable, and scalable services extending beyond the Edge layer. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review focused on expanding the IEC 61499 applications to reconfigure CPPS, by integrating Cloud layer services through SoA. The review highlights advancements, challenges, and future directions in achieving greater modularity, interoperability, scalability, and abstraction within distributed control systems. By synthesizing current research, this work provides insights into the potential enhancements of CPPS using a Cloud-based SoA approach.
