This software enables you to build and test data types, function block
types, adapter types, functions, resource types, device types, network segment types
and system configurations according to the IEC
61499 standard.
Testing of this software is in progress with JDK™ 8 on the following operating systems:
Create a new working directory for the FBDK, for example C:\\fbdk3
in Windows systems or /home/username/fbdk3 in Linux systems.
Download this file to the working directory you have just created: fbdk3.jar.
To start up the FBDK in Windows with JDK 8,
double-click on the fbdk3.jar file's icon in the working directory.
To start up in Linux systems, enter the following commands in a Terminal
window: cd fbdk3 (the name of the working directory you created) java -jar fbdk3.jar
The FBDK will create all necessary sub-directories of its working directory,
and will download updated versions of other needed files from the Holobloc website if
necessary (this may take a few seconds).
The FBDK will not create, delete or modify any files on your computer except
within this directory structure.
Holobloc Inc will not upload any files from your computer or track anything
you do with this application.
Each time that the FBDK starts up, a small progress window will open to show you
which files are being updated from the Web. As soon as the first few files are updated,
a "Terms and Conditions" (T&C) dialog will pop under the log window as shown below.
You can drag the T&C dialog out from under the logging window to read its
full contents.
You will need to click the Yes box to acknowledge that Holobloc Inc.
incurs no liability by providing you with the FBDK.
After you click the Yes box, the progress window will show the file
updates being done, then will report that the FBEditor is being launched.
After launching the editor, the progress window will remain open for you to
review the file updates that have been done (if any). You can minimize or close this
window at your convenience.
You can then use the FBDK by following the instructions in the How To page.
