Eclipse 4diac FORTE

Eclipse 4diac(TM) FORTE is a run-time environment for executing IEC 61499 control applications developed with 4diac IDE. 4diac FORTE is written in C++ and highly portable. It can be compiled for many different operating systems and especially targets embedded systems like PLCs.

impl-dds Branch

This branch is the result of my bachelor's thesis. It implements a communication bridge between ROS (Humble) and this 4diac FORTE. It uses FastDDS 2.3.6 (version used for that ROS version) to communicate.

The work can be found here.

To enable the usage of this you need to enable some options in the CMake setup:

  • FORTE_COM_DDS The DDS communication implementation.
  • FORTE_MODULE_ROS2 The ROS2 communication types.
  • FORTE_MODULE_ROS2_DDS The ROS2 wrapper function blocks.

These features are just useful to build applications:

  • FORTE_MODULE_CONVERT
  • FORTE_MODULE_UTILS
  • FORTE_MODULE_IEC61131

This is a hard requirement, otherwise will FastDDS throw a segfault.

  • FORTE_RTTI_AND_EXCEPTIONS

Building 4diac FORTE

Standard POSIX build

./setup_posix.sh
cd bin/posix
make

Resetting CMake files

In case you ran CMake with invalid options it might help to reset the CMake state by deleting CMake intermediate files:

rm -Rf CMakeCache.txt CMakeFiles/

Building a local RPM

For building local RPMs you can use (tito)[https://github.com/dgoodwin/tito]

tito build --test --rpm

Building 4diac FORTE for Other systems

Detailed information on how to build 4diac FORTE for the different supported operating systems and hardware platforms can be found in our Installation Documentation
