Industrial automation IA is the vast area of embedded computing devoted to industrial applications. Apart from many tailored solutions numerical controllers hardware controllers etc. the scene is dominated by programmable logic controllers widely known by the abbreviation PLC which represent the most wide-spread class of embedded computing platforms. In the past the progress in embedded technologies has determined qualitative breakthroughs in the performance of automation systems their affordability and efficiency of their design. Intelligent industrial automation IIA has appeared as a branch of research and development answering the challenges of flexible and adaptive manufacturing which require mass customization instead of mass production. It stipulates the use of information and communication technology ICT methods and tools for creating self-configurable or easily-reconfigurable .
