1. SCOPE
This document specifies the features of IEC 61499-1 and 61499-2, according to the guidelines given in IEC 61499-4, to be implemented in order to demonstrate:
- interoperability of devices from multiple suppliers;
- portability of software between software tools of multiple suppliers;
- configurability of devices from multiple vendors by software tools of multiple suppliers; and
- interchangeability of devices and resources from multiple vendors.
The features to be demonstrated are illustrated in Figure 1.
NOTE - The sensor/actuator links designated #1 and #2 in Figure 1 may be non-interoperable. However, it is intended that feasibility demonstrations conforming to this Agreement may show the transfer of events and data from sensors on one link to actuators on another link using appropriately configured and interconnected service interface function blocks.

3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
The definitions given in IEC 61499-1, 61499-2 and 61499-4 and the sources referenced therein apply for the purposes of this specification. In addition, the following definitions apply, where the definitions of the italicized terms are given in this clause or in the above referenced Parts of IEC 61499.
3.1 local device instance
instance of a device type whose operations are
executed in the same runtime process as its associated
system manager.
3.2 remote device instance
instance of a device type whose operations are
not executed in the same runtime process as its
associated system manager.
3.3 runtime process
execution over time of specified sequences of operations
within a specified set of resources.
3.4 system manager
software tool responsible for the implementation of
the declarations specified in system configurations.
NOTE - System managers and configurations may be modeled as instances of theSystemManagerandSystemConfigurationclasses defined in Annex C of IEC 61499-1, respectively.
