Abstract:
The 4
th
Industrial Revolution has driven innovations in integrating Information Technologies (IT) with Op-
erations 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 cru-
cial for distributed control and system automation. Despite its advantages, IEC 61499’s application is pre-
dominantly 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 lit-
erature 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 achiev-
ing 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.
1 INTRODUCTION
The 4
th
Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, has
revolutionized manufacturing by integrating digital
technologies into production systems. At its core,
Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) (Lins
and Oliveira, 2020) enable seamless interaction be-
tween physical and digital components, driving au-
tomation and optimization in industrial processes.
The IEC 61499 standard (Vyatkin, 2011) has emerged
as a foundational framework for distributed control in
CPPS, offering modularity, scalability, and interop-
erability at the Edge layer. However, its application
remains limited to Edge-layer operations, hindering
advanced functionalities like large-scale analytics and
Cloud-based machine learning.
With the development of Industry 4.0, the connec-
tion between the various layers of the system has been
an aspect to be explored through CPPS using inter-
connection between the multiple layers present in a
system. This interconnection results in greater pro-

ductivity and speed, improving both decision-making
and data collection. Figure 1 shows this structure with
the 3 main layers and their interconnectivity.
In this structure, the connections between the de-
vices in the Edge layer collect physical information,
update status, and share this information with upper
layers.
While IEC 61499 has advanced CPPS by en-
abling modular and scalable control systems at the
Edge layer, its application is limited when expand-
ing to the Cloud layer, where more complex data
management and processing capabilities are essen-
tial. Service-Oriented Architecture (SoA) (Dai et al.,
2014; Siqueira and Davis, 2021) has gained promi-
nence as a cloud-centric paradigm to address the lim-
itation of only Edge-layer operations. By leverag-
ing SoAs modularity and scalability, CPPS can ex-
tend beyond the Edge, enabling comprehensive sys-
tem management across Edge and Cloud layers. This
integration promises to enhance system flexibility,
improve interoperability, and enable dynamic recon-
figuration to meet Industry 4.0 demands.
This paper presents a comprehensive literature re-
view to investigate existing approaches for integrating

modular CPPS with integrated Cloud capabilities.
2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This section establishes the foundational concepts of
IEC 61499 and SoA, essential for understanding their
integration within CPPS to address Industry 4.0 chal-
lenges.
2.1 IEC 61499 Standard for Distributed
Control
IEC 61499 is a standard for modular, event-driven
control in distributed systems, employing Function
Blocks (FBs) (Christensen et al., 2012; Lyu and Bren-
nan, 2021) for reusability and scalability. Its de-
centralized approach supports real-time control at the
Edge layer, enhancing flexibility in dynamic environ-
ments. However, its focus on Edge-layer operations
limits advanced functionalities like large-scale analyt-
ics and machine learning, underscoring the need for
cloud integration. Figure 2 exemplifies the architec-
ture of an FB.
Figure 2: A Function Block structure (Christensen et al.,
2012).
These FBs encapsulate logic and data in a mod-

ular format, allowing for reusability, portability, and
scalability in complex systems. FBs can operate in-
dependently or be composed to form larger systems,
enabling flexible and responsive control architectures
suited to dynamic production environments typical of
Industry 4.0.
IEC 61499 is especially advantageous for CPPS as
it allows for real-time responses and improved inter-
operability between devices at the Edge layer. How-
ever, the standard’s primary limitation is its confine-
ment to Edge-layer operations, which restricts the
scope for high-level data processing, scalability, and
Cloud integration. Consequently, the full potential
of CPPS cannot be achieved without an architectural
framework that extends beyond the Edge, supporting
advanced data analytics, storage, and processing in
the Cloud layer.
2.2 SoA for Cloud Integration
SoA (Niknejad et al., 2020; Dai et al., 2016) orga-
nizes software into modular, loosely coupled services,
enabling scalability, interoperability, and adaptabil-
ity. In CPPS, SoA extends system capabilities to the
Cloud, facilitating advanced analytics and real-time
monitoring. According to (Siqueira and Davis, 2021),
key SoA principles such as loose coupling, compos-
ability, autonomy, abstraction, and discoverability are
central to enabling dynamic and scalable architec-
tures suitable for CPPS, allowing seamless integration
of diverse systems and third-party services, as repre-
sented in Figure3.
Figure 3: Service-oriented Architecture main princi-
ples (Dai et al., 2014).
By bridging IEC 61499’s real-time capabilities
with SoAs modularity and scalability, a holistic CPPS
framework can emerge, addressing Industry 4.0’s de-
mands for smart and interconnected manufacturing
systems. Despite its advantages, integrating SoA with
IEC 61499 introduces challenges in maintaining real-
time performance and consistent data synchroniza-
tion.
3 REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
This section provides an analysis of relevant literature
focused on the integration of IEC 61499 with SoA in
distributed control systems. The review is organized
by thematic areas to capture various approaches and
insights that contribute to the development of scal-
able, modular, and interoperable CPPS.
3.1 Literature Review Methodology
Regarding the search strategy, the review utilized
main academic databases, namely IEEE Xplore, Sci-
enceDirect, SpringerLink, ACM Digital Library, and
Scopus, with the following initial query: [(”service-
oriented architecture” OR ”soa”) AND ”iec 61499”].
This query ensures the inclusion of articles cover-
ing the two main scopes of the study’s topic. Sub-
sequently, to achieve greater thematic precision, the
following query was used: [”cloud” AND (”cyber-
physical production systems” OR ”cpps”)].
As a result, a limited number of studies were
found, with approximately 344 articles identified in
Scopus (the database that returned the largest num-
ber of studies) narrowed down to just 45 after adding
additional queries. The full list of exclusion criteria
follows:
Not focused on integrating IEC 61499 with SoA.
Lacked technical relevance or depth in solution
proposal.
Published before 2010.
Do not address CPPS or distributed control sys-
tems.
Do not present frameworks, case studies, or theo-
retical insights relevant to modularity, scalability,
and interoperability in CPPS.
This approach allowed the synthesis of techno-
logical gaps, challenges, and possible directions for
further study. Finally, the resulting works were col-
lected and analyzed to conduct an initial assessment
of the topic. Considering the number of articles iden-
tified, no highly rigorous methodology was applied,
other than including more recent work (from 2010 on-
ward), given that the intersection of both SOA and
IEC 61499 topics is relatively new. Older articles
cited were primarily those explaining foundational
concepts of the technologies involved.

3.2 Integrating IEC 61499 with SoA in
CPPS
Combining IEC 61499 with SoA introduces an ar-
chitectural approach that leverages the strengths of
both standards: the distributed control capabilities of
IEC 61499 at the Edge and the scalable, modular ser-
vice management of SoA in the Cloud. In this hy-
brid architecture, IEC 61499 manages real-time con-
trol and coordination at the Edge layer, while SoA fa-
cilitates Cloud-based services such as analytics, ma-
chine learning, and remote monitoring. The integra-
tion of IEC 61499 and SoA in CPPS offers multiple
advantages:
Enhanced Modularity: By segmenting function-
alities into distinct, reusable services, the system
can adapt more readily to changes or extensions
in production requirements.
Improved Interoperability: With SoAs standard-
ized interfaces, CPPS components can more eas-
ily connect to external services and legacy sys-
tems.
Scalability: Cloud-based services managed
through SoA can be added or removed as needed,
allowing the system to scale dynamically in re-
sponse to operational demands.
Abstraction and Flexibility: SoA encapsulates
complex system functions as services, simplify-
ing system design, maintenance, and evolution.
However, integrating these standards also presents
challenges, particularly in achieving seamless com-
munication and data synchronization between the
Edge and Cloud layers, maintaining real-time perfor-
mance, and ensuring security and reliability in dis-
tributed environments.
This theoretical framework sets the foundation for
the literature review, which examines existing studies
and solutions that explore this integration and iden-
tifies the gaps and opportunities for advancing CPPS
design through a combined IEC 61499 and SoA ap-
proach.
Numerous frameworks and approaches have been
proposed for integrating IEC 61499 with SoA. Next,
some of the prominent methods discussed in the liter-
ature are presented.
3.2.1 DINASORE Framework
DINASORE (DIGI2-FEUP, 2024; Pereira et al.,
2020) is a distributed platform that uses IEC 61499
for the reconfiguration of CPPS. Developed in
Python, it utilizes 4DIAC (Strasser et al., 2008) and
the OPC-UA protocol (Veichtlbauer et al., 2017) to
create a modular and reconfigurable system architec-
ture. DINASORE enables real-time reconfiguration
of FBs through a graphical user interface, allowing
for flexible and adaptable control systems. However,
DINASORE currently operates primarily at the Edge
layer, which limits its application in cloud-based en-
vironments. Expanding DINASORE with SoA could
potentially enhance its scalability and allow for more
extensive integration with external systems, provid-
ing additional services such as machine learning and
advanced data analytics. Figure 4 demonstrates the
architecture of DINASORE.
3.2.2 IEC 61499 Distributed Control Enhanced
with Cloud-Based Web Services
(Demin et al., 2015) propose using NxtStudio (Deng,
2012) to model IEC 61499 control while leverag-
ing HTTP for SoA message exchange. In their case
study, a Pick-and-Place manipulator was integrated
with Cloud computing services, enabling distributed
data processing. The study demonstrated that inte-
grating IEC 61499 with SoA could facilitate scala-
bility and ease of maintenance in CPPS. However,
limitations in cloud deployment performance indicate
that further optimization is required to fully lever-
age cloud capabilities without compromising real-
time control.
3.2.3 Arrowhead Framework for IEC 61499
Integration
The Arrowhead framework (Varga et al., 2016) of-
fers a reference architecture based on SoA principles,
specifically designed to facilitate integration and in-
teroperability in IoT and CPPS environments. The
framework is represented in Figure 5.
(Derhamy et al., 2016) explored the application of
Arrowhead for orchestrating services in IEC 61499-
based systems. Their case study on a Festo MPS man-
ufacturing system (SE, 2024) that combines Arrow-
head’s orchestration and authorization systems with
IEC 61499 provides greater control and flexibility. By
bridging protocols between the Edge and Cloud lay-
ers, Arrowhead enables dynamic service management
and enhances interoperability within distributed au-
tomation systems.
3.2.4 OPC UA and IEC 61499 Integration with
Arrowhead
(Cabral et al., 2020) examined an integration model
using OPC UA to enable seamless communication
between IEC 61499-based control systems and Ar-
rowhead’s core services. This approach demonstrated

how OPC UA servers could facilitate interoperability
by connecting Cloud-based services and Edge-level
control systems. In their case study, a traffic light
management system was used to test the integration,
showing that this approach supports flexible service
discovery and management. However, the study also
highlighted challenges in synchronizing data across
layers, particularly in real-time applications.
3.2.5 Manufacturing Service Bus as a
SoA-Based Integration Platform
The Manufacturing Service Bus (MSB) (Schel et al.,
2018) is an SoA-based integration platform that pro-
vides functionalities for reconfiguration, loose cou-
pling, and asynchronous communication in produc-
tion environments. Developed as an Enterprise Ser-
vice Bus (ESB) for manufacturing, MSB supports
multiple communication standards such as RESTful
API, WebSocket API, OPC UA, and MQTT (Breunig
and G
¨
otz, 2018). The modularity and protocol sup-
port offered by MSB makes it a promising solution
for integrating IEC 61499-based systems with cloud
services, especially in highly dynamic CPPS environ-
ments.
4 DISCUSSION
This section synthesizes the findings from the litera-
ture review, focusing on the potential and challenges
of integrating IEC 61499 with SoA in distributed con-
trol systems. The discussion is organized around key
themes, including modularity, interoperability, scala-
bility, and the real-time performance required for ef-
fective CPPS.
4.1 Synthesis of Findings
The literature reveals multiple approaches to integrat-
ing IEC 61499 with SoA, each contributing unique

solutions and insights, as represented in Table 1.
Modularity is a key benefit of integrating IEC
61499 and SoA. IEC 61499’s function blocks enable
reusable, adaptable control logic at the Edge layer,
while SoAs loosely coupled services enhance flex-
ibility at the Cloud level. Frameworks like DINA-
SORE and Arrowhead demonstrate how modulariza-
tion improves system adaptability, simplifies mainte-
nance, and supports independent updates and scaling.
Interoperability is another significant advantage,
as protocols like OPC UA and frameworks such as Ar-
rowhead facilitate seamless communication through
service discovery, orchestration, and authorization
systems. However, consistent data exchange and pro-
tocol bridging remain challenges, particularly in het-
erogeneous environments.
SoAs Cloud-based service management enhances
scalability, enabling systems to adjust dynamically to
shifting production demands and support more de-
vices and data streams without architectural over-
hauls. Frameworks like the Manufacturing Service
Bus (MSB) illustrate how SoA supports flexibil-
ity through multi-protocol communication and asyn-
chronous models. Despite these advantages, ensur-
ing scalability without compromising real-time per-
formance or data synchronization remains a critical
challenge.
While frameworks like DINASORE and Arrow-
head highlight the potential of SoA for CPPS, they
also underscore the need for improved integration
strategies to balance modularity, scalability, and real-
time performance. Advancing these frameworks re-
quires addressing technical challenges in data consis-
tency, communication, and latency across Edge and
Cloud layers.
4.2 Identification of Research Gaps
Despite the advances noted in the literature, several
research gaps remain in the integration of IEC 61499
with SoA for CPPS. Real-time performance is a sig-
nificant challenge, as many Cloud-based SoA services
may not support the low-latency requirements of real-
time control systems. While IEC 61499 is designed
for event-driven, real-time operation at the Edge, ex-
tending this capability to the Cloud layer without
latency disruptions is a challenge. Future research
should investigate optimization techniques or hybrid
solutions that maintain real-time capabilities across
both Edge and Cloud layers.
Another notable gap is in security and data pri-
vacy. Although some frameworks, such as Arrow-
head, address aspects of authorization and secure
communication, a comprehensive security strategy
for CPPS that integrates both IEC 61499 and SoA is
still lacking. Given the sensitivity of industrial data,
especially in multi-vendor environments, future re-
search should address mechanisms for secure data ex-
change and robust authentication protocols across the
Edge and Cloud.
Data synchronization and consistency across lay-
ers also pose challenges, particularly in distributed
control systems that rely on continuous, real-time data
flow. Several studies discuss protocol bridging (e.g.,

often face issues with data lag or inconsistency when
operating across Edge and Cloud environments. De-
veloping more efficient data handling and synchro-
nization methods could further enhance the reliability
of IEC 61499-SoA integrated systems.
4.3 Future Directions
Future research should focus on hybrid architectures
that seamlessly integrate Edge and Cloud capabilities.
Critical real-time processing can be offloaded to the
Edge layer, while non-time-sensitive tasks like ana-
lytics and machine learning are handled in the Cloud.
This approach retains IEC 61499’s low-latency ad-
vantages at the Edge while leveraging SoAs scalabil-
ity and processing power in the Cloud.
Developing standardized interfaces and protocols
for interoperability between IEC 61499 and SoA is
another essential direction. Industry collaborations
can help establish standards for protocol bridging,
data formats, and communication models, enabling
efficient and secure data exchange across heteroge-
neous CPPS devices and reducing integration com-
plexity.
Lastly, security must be prioritized in IEC 61499
and SoA integration. Frameworks with robust en-
cryption, authentication, and access control are crit-
ical for ensuring safe deployment in industrial envi-
ronments. Multi-layered security protocols can miti-
gate risks in distributed systems, particularly as they
scale into cloud environments.
5 CONCLUSIONS
This paper presents a comprehensive review of inte-
grating IEC 61499 with SoA in CPPS, a promising
approach to enhancing scalability, modularity, and in-
teroperability in Industry 4.0. The review examines
the foundational principles of IEC 61499 and SoA,
highlights their complementary strengths, and ana-
lyzes frameworks and case studies that illustrate the
benefits of their integration for distributed control sys-
tems.
The findings demonstrate that combining IEC
61499 and SoA addresses key challenges in CPPS.
Reusable function blocks (FBs) enhance modular-
ity, while SoAs scalable, loosely coupled architec-
ture enables flexible Cloud-based services. This inte-
gration facilitates seamless communication between
CPPS components and external systems, allowing
distributed systems to adapt more effectively to dy-
namic industrial requirements.
Despite these advantages, several challenges re-
main. Real-time performance in Cloud-integrated
systems is a critical issue, as many SoA frameworks
are not optimized for the low-latency needs of real-
time applications. Additionally, security, data syn-
chronization, and standardized protocols require fur-
ther development to ensure secure and reliable inte-
gration of IEC 61499 and SoA across distributed sys-
tems.
In conclusion, this review underscores the trans-
formative potential of integrating IEC 61499 and
SoA for Industry 4.0 applications while outlining a
roadmap to overcome current limitations. Advanc-
ing these integrations will enable the development
of flexible, scalable, and secure CPPS capable of
meeting modern industrial demands. Future research
should focus on hybrid architectures, robust security
frameworks, and efficient data-handling mechanisms
to bridge the gap between Edge and Cloud layers, un-
locking the full potential of CPPS for smart manufac-
turing and beyond.
